Check yo' self (dibbity deb remix)

Which online repositories does my system rely on?

Status

Very early prototype.

Usage

Usage: checkyoself [OPTIONS]

  Before you wreck yo' self. Cause unknown sources are bad for your health.

  Returns a list of online repositories that your system relies on. Verbose
  mode additionally lists the software that uses them.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Sample output

These are the repositories that your system might download additional components from.

* deb.debian.org
* dl.flathub.org
* http://ppa.launchpad.net
* pypi.org

Sample output (verbose)

These are the sources that might access the repositories:

* deb.debian.org
   * /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list
* dl.flathub.org
   * flatpak
* http://ppa.launchpad.net
   * /etc/apt/sources.list.d/micahflee-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list
   * /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus.list
* pypi.org
   * apt:python3-pip

Scope

• Packages installed by apt [1]
• Knowledge base limited to packages found in Debian stable, PureOS stable and/or Ubuntu LTS [1]
• Best effort. We don't know what we don't know.
• No advisory stance (libre? security practices? domain owner?)
• Packages with hard-coded repositories or default configurations, not packages like wget that perform arbitrary downloads or packages like telnet that perform arbitrary communication.
• Known default repositories only [2]

Exceptions and additions

• [1] We report on the online repositories of non-deb packages from very significant software authors. For example aws from Amazon relies on aws.amazon.com
• [2] We report on the configuration values of apt and flatpak, not just their defaults.

Additional notes

• Inspired by, but not quite the same as, vrms

• Not a substitute for inspecting which domains your machine is actually connecting to.

• Intended to inspire recording this information at the time of packaging, and alerting the user at the time of installation: "foo relies on bar.com, do you want to install it? Y/N"
