    Hi Emilia,

    I did not look into it as our short-term priorities changed a
    little bit; if you need anything else from my side please let me know!


I did a search over the provided sources and only found one case where we have the project as a deb in the archive, which is alertmanager: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prometheus-alertmanager

So unless you can confirm there are other debs in the archive matching the remaining upstream projects, alertmanager is the only one we can add to our CVEs monitoring service. I can add it right now.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Emilia


    Cheers,

    Luca

        We don't. Since we don't scan the upstream based ROCKs (we
        only need
        this for the deb based ones).

        I am not sure how urgent is this, but if you help me identify
        the Ubuntu
        source packages associated we can make this faster. Otherwise
        we can
        work on this next week.


    Did you have a chance to check this?
