It works by querying installed distributions (rpm, deb, windows, freebsd, or auto-detected) and extracting package metadata, then serializing the results as JSON, YAML, or tag-value output. The tool is designed for integration into CI/CD pipelines to maintain auditable records of software components and versions used in deployments.\n\nThe package depends on lib4sbom for SBOM generation and serialization. It supports scanning either a specific installed package, all packages on a running system, or a pre-generated package list from a file. Metadata like product name, version, author, and component type can be customized via command-line flags. The tool is classified as Alpha and actively maintained, with support for modern Python versions (3.7 through 3.11).","worth_installing":"Yes. The package fills a clear need for SBOM generation across multiple distribution types with low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive license. It is suitable for security-conscious teams building CI/CD pipelines or conducting supply chain audits. The Alpha status and modest download volume suggest it is not yet widely adopted, so verify compatibility with your specific distribution and use case before production deployment."},"id":"distro2sbom","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/distro2sbom","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/distro2sbom.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/distro2sbom/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"distro2sbom","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"SBOM generator for system distribution"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":108922,"position":12534,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
