NIST.IR.8060 GEN-15 requires @version for File #42
base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
Hi Jan,
NIST.IR.8060 explicitly says: "include value if on exists for the file"
so I'm not ready to use a default value of type 'none'. The linux-image
and linux-header packages comprise several thousands files, so I don't
want any default version strings to be included.
Best regards
Andreas

Since there is no reasonable version value and the type is |xs:string|,
using 'none'.

Undestood. What is you opinion about NIST's swidval's behaviour when it produces |
The requirement is "include value if on exists for the file" but swidval reports ERROR GEN-15-2: The <File> element with the @name 'alias' has a blank @Version attribute value. if the attribute is not used or is set to empty string. To allow the user to specify some value for the attribute when no one exists for the file, adding command line parameter --default-file-version.
Let me now propose approach with command line parameter |
I think the
GEN-15-1 is marked conditional, which I guess means it doesn't apply if the So to me it seems that second requirement is too restrictive, it should just not apply if the attribute is not there (not sure if simply adding |
Thank you for the analysis. Have you guys talked to NIST about it or should we try to bring it up? |
We currently have no plans to contact NIST about this. Thanks. |
