Turn into Python package? #372

Open jbremer opened 7 years ago

jbremer commented 7 years ago

Hi all,

as you may know volatility has been a plugin for Cuckoo Sandbox for a couple of years now. However, users need to install it manually due to the fact that it's not a Python package (i.e., it's not on pypi and as such you can't pip install volatility it). Are there any plans to start releasing it up there at some point?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, setup.py already seems capable of building a Python package (that I therefore assume mostly works), so you might get quite far by simply getting ahold of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/volatility and running python setup.py sdist upload.

@gleeda, @awalters any updates or interest in packaging and publishing volatility to pypi? We started using it as a library to run lists of plugins in our forensics pipeline here at Netflix and it would be great if we could install it using pip.

@jbremer I just found https://pypi.org/project/volatility2/, are you actively maintaining it?

jbremer commented 5 years ago

@mvilanova Not really, sorry.. I could do a new release sometime though.

@jbremer that would be great, thanks.
