Phasing out the RHEL6 CI
by Matěj Týč 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Dear community, the possibility to build the ComplianceAsCode/content project on RHEL6 using python2.6 and other dated utilities is becoming a luxury. It prevents contributors to use elegant constructs available in python2.7, and sometimes passing the CI for RHEL6 requires some weird workarounds that take time to design and implement and those workarounds just complicate the code, they don't bring benefits. As RHEL6 won't get any significant updates and one can build RHEL6 content on other OSs (or in a container), the RHEL6 CI setup seems to gain negative value. Do you, our precious community around the project, have arguments why the RHEL6 should be part of the CI? If there are no agreed-upon reasons, we are leaning towards switching the RHEL6 CI off within two weeks, i.e. in the first half of March. On behalf of the Brno Security Compliance team, Matěj Týč

The focus of the call will be a higher-level discussion on efforts outside of SCAP that you might want to tie into the SCAP architecture for greater situational awareness (OpenC2, IODEF, STIX, etc.). Towards that end, Joe Brule (NSA) and Kathleen Moriarty (Dell EMC) will be joining MITRE and the USG to facilitate these discussions. We hope you will be able to join us. Dial-in details are below.

RHEL8 CCEs?
by Shawn Wells 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Looking through the RHEL8 content and it looks like RHEL8 CCEs were not assigned to the rules. Was this just an oversight in the beta content, or will RHEL 8 not have CCEs?

multiple configurations fixed by one ansible snippet
by Marek Haicman 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Hello everyone, we have currently stumbled upon situation, where Ansible remediation snippet can either fix 3 different rules at once, or be very convoluted. Technical details aside [1] - what is your view of such approach? * Is it ok when remediation does change more than the rule that triggered it checks? * Do you prefer to have no remediation at all, to the remediation that does too much? * Does answer to the questions above change between (--remediate) which is applied automatically, and bash roles or ansible playbooks, where you can check insides of the scripts and alter them before application? Thanks! Marek [1] https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/3723#issuecomment-462747526
