swidGenerator HOWTO #16

Closed strongX509 closed 10 years ago

strongX509 commented 10 years ago

I wrote a swidGenerator HOWTO on the strongSwan wiki:

http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/SwidGenerator

I hope I got everything right.

Cheers

Andreas

Looks good to me. @dbrgn can you please check the installation instructions?

I think there's a typo before the last listing:

which currently consists of list of all files installed by the package

On a side note: we're trying to remove the yum-utils dependency by only using the rpm command. We keep you posted about this.

Regards Christian

We can remove the yum and yum-utils dependencies at all and use the rpm tool directly, since yum is only an frontend for the rpm database (see https://github.com/tnc-ba/strongTNC/issues/108) Implemented in https://github.com/tnc-ba/swidGenerator/pull/17

We've merged https://github.com/tnc-ba/swidGenerator/pull/17 into the master branch. You can remove yum-utils from the HOWTO in the strongSwan wiki.

On a related issue (as you're using the name in the HowTo), @strongX509, do you have a preference on the official name of the program?

The "binary" is called swid_generator, as Python packages are not supposed to use CamelCase.

For the "verbose" name of the program we've mostly used "SWID Generator" so far. If you prefer we can use swidGenerator, so it fits better with strongSwan and strongTNC. What do you think?

Besides that, the installation instructions look good. We'll probably upload the tool to the Python Package Index soon (https://github.com/tnc-ba/strongTNC/issues/107), after that it can be installed directly via pip install swid_generator, without having to download it manually first.

swid_generator as the name of the binary is ok. swidGenerator as the name of the project is fine with me.
