Hello everyone!

What did you do this week?

I have almost completed the package list parser for CentOS package lists, since I downloaded the wrong .iso file for Fedora I chose to jump to CentOS (^-^"), and made checkers for ftp, bolt, gnome-shell and accountsservice. The package list parser could potentially work on any systems that use the rpm package manager since I'm using it to fetch the installed packages.

What is coming up next?

Adding package list parser support for Fedora and other distros and add checkers.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

No.
