Dear list,
I've added live-bootstrap <https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap>
to the list of distros I import. On the following page:
https://whatsrc.org/artifact/sha256:b3a24de97a8fdbc835b9833169501030b8977031bcb54b3b3ac13740f846ab30
It now lists this source code is considered `zlib 1.2.13` in
live-bootstrap, it was also seen in Gentoo, Guix, openSUSE and Wolfi OS.
From their readme, live-bootstrap's objective is:
> How can a usable Linux system be created with only human-auditable,
and wherever possible, human-written, source code?
They also have a note about pre-processed source code archives:
> GNU Guix is currently the furthest along project to automate
bootstrapping. However, there are a number of non-auditable files used
in many of their packages. Here is a list of file types that we deem
unsuitable for bootstrapping.
> [...]
> 2. Any pre-generated configure scripts, or Makefile.in’s from autotools.
I did find instances of source code inputs that seem autotools
pre-processed:
libffi 3.3:

curl 8.5.0:

But I strongly agree with the overall stance.
In total the following vendors are currently present in the database:
- alpine
- archlinux
- crates.io (partial)
- debian
- fedora
- gentoo
- guix
- homebrew
- kali
- live-bootstrap
- opensuse
- registry.yarnpkg.com (partial)
- ubuntu
- void
- wolfi
- yocto
cheers,
kpcyrd
