Description Cole Robinson 2018-10-09 17:39:46 UTC

Fabiano switched libosinfo to assume regexs as anchored: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2018-September/msg00060.html

Dan disagreed with this approach: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2018-October/msg00033.html

Fabiano reverted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2018-October/msg00038.html

However I think we should consider meeting the same goal, and explicitly anchor all regexs and either enforce this with a schema change or add a test case to catch it. Non-anchored regex can cause subtle issues like were pointed out in the original series

I moved this to the gitlab tracker: https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/issues/23
