fix: apk product/vendor generation for old metadata#1635
Merged
Conversation
This fixes some instances where the improved APK CPE generation logic caused regressions for older alpine package APK metadata. It now generates multiple "upstream" candidates with both name and package type which reduces the amount of duplicated code in the apk cpe gen logic. This also improves the handling of stream version packages, so now we can correctly identify packages such as ruby3.2-rexml as the rexml ruby gem.

This is more of a preference than anything else -- since UpstreamCandidates (and the former Upstream) is only used for the benefit of CPE generation the more ideal spot is where CPE generation is being done, in syft/pkg/cataloger/common/cpe. This also has the benefit of being unexported so it can't be used in the API.
What are your thoughts about this?

Yeah, I would have liked that; however, it's also needed for the purl.

Hmm, I guess I could move it under syft/pkg/cataloger/common/cpe and then import it in apkdb?

Would still have to be exported though, right?

I missed the usage in purl processing. I take back my comment then. I think in the future this will be in a better position to refactor: later we'll be moving the CPE generation logic back to where packages are created (near the catalogers) which means that we could remove this from the metadata object at that time.
