NVD will deprecate the v1.1 API which allows us to download the full database as individual JSON files. Instead, there's a horribly crappy API that is extremely slow and subject to race conditions. Fortunately, there is a project, Fraunhofer FKIE - Cyber Analysis and Defense [1], that goes through the effort of adapting to this new API and regenerating the convenient JSON files. The JSON files and meta files are re-generated daily. Instead of implementing the NVD v2 API, we decided to just use the JSON files generatd by fkie-cad. That saves us the effort of solving the race conditions, devising a cache mechanism that works, handling the frequent gateway timeouts on the NVD servers, dealing with the rate limiting, and keeping up with changes in the API. Switch to this repository on github as NVD_BASE_URL. The file name is also slightly different (CVE-20XX.json instead of nvdcve-1.1-20XX.json). The fkie-cad repository compresses with xz instead of gz. Therefore: - rename the filename variables to _xz instead of _gz; - use xz as a subprocess because there is no xz decompressor in Python stdlib.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
