Updating the database

This package embeds the vulnerability database in the vulndb/db/ directory. To update the database with new information follow these steps:

# Update the database
tools/update-db.sh

After updating the database it’s a good idea to publish the latest at pypi using:

rm -rf dist/
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine check dist/*
twine upload dist/*
