How does it patch all versions automatically? If the library has been refactored, you still need to modify the patch for the pre-refactor and the post-refractor versions, for example. The closest you might get is a ChatGPT-based tool, but that is nowhere near safe enough for security patches.
- hamandcheese 2y agoI didn't say it's automatic. You can have overrides that target a more narrow range of versions, if you need. If there has been a major refactor, then you need two patches. But it's not rocket science, and you definitely don't need chatgpt. You can also blend both strategies - you might have a version minimization strategy, where you only use, for example, one major version of a library at a time.
