Tomorrow — April 14 @ 12PM ET — we're showing how to lock down R and Python ecosystems so your AI agents (and your developers) aren't pulling from insecure or outdated libraries.

Thought leadership + live demo. Join us.

AI assistants are only as safe as the packages they're allowed to use.

Without governed R and Python repositories, your tools, and your teams, can end up relying on outdated or vulnerable libraries.

Live webinar April 14 @ 12PM ET: Building the Foundation for AI-Assisted Data Science

We'll cover secure package repos, binary optimization, and how governance integrates across Workbench and Connect.

#Sandogasa update - now integrating our standalone tools we use for @centos #CentOSHyperscale work, as well as a long-overdue revamp of #ebranch for those who often backport large package sets from @fedora to #EPEL !

Sandogasa, now for EPEL and CentOS SIG workflows too!

Caveat lector This post discusses tools reluctantly written with AI assistance. If you don’t entertain using them under any circumstance, and think even reading about them legally compromise your ability to reimplement them yourselves, stop reading now This is a follow-up to the original Sandogasa announcement. Before I ended up fedora-cve-triage to extract library crates and reuse them in the other Sandogasa tools, I already created two tools for managing CentOS Hyperscale SIG workflows, hs-intake and hs-relmon. It simply makes sense to also merge them back in and deduplicate functionalities.
