Indeed, there is no support for BR2_EXTERNAL in pkg-stats. In fact,
pkg-stats is more a tool for the Buildroot community to keep an eye on
all packages that are in the official Buildroot.
A Buildroot user (or a company using Buildroot) would I guess be more
interested in pkg-stats-like results, but limited to their package
selection.
Recently, we've added support/scripts/cve-checker which output a HTML
page looking like the pkg-stats output, but with just your package +
the CVEs that affect them (if any). However, it does not output all the
same information as pkg-stats.
Which specific information of pkg-stats do you find useful ?
Best regards,
Thomas
