Add CIPD as a PURL type
Chromium uses the Chrome Infrastructure Package Deployment (CIPD) registry for some dependencies. Some documentation can be found here and here and examples of package names here -- look for lines starting with 'package': '
.
Including some random samples below:
gn/gn/linux-amd64
gn/gn/windows-amd64
chromium/android_webview/tools/cts_archive
chromium/third_party/accessibility-test-framework
chromium/third_party/android_protoc
These would map to the purl spec well, e.g. like so:
pkg:cipd/gn/gn/linux-amd64
pkg:cipd/gn/gn/windows-amd64
pkg:cipd/chromium/android_webview/tools/cts_archive
pkg:cipd/chromium/third_party/accessibility-test-framework
pkg:cipd/chromium/third_party/android_protoc
Including CIPD in the spec as a known type would be valuable as it would make it possible to generate SBOMs for Chromium-based applications, like those built using Electron. Currently there is no way to accurately refer to CIPD packages.
Some additional notes:
- The default repository is
https://chrome-infra-packages.appspot.com/p/
- Package names are case-sensitive
- The OS and architecture of a package is specified with a
/<os>-<arch>
suffix. For PURL these could alternatively be mapped to qualifiers, like so:pkg:cipd/gn/gn@latest?os=linux&arch=amd64
