At that point we thought that it would be nice to separate the code and create an independent Ruby module that can be used to query the OSVDB.

It turned out that an osvdb project already existed in RubyForge so we have submitted our code there.

There are no releases so far but the code in the repository is working. In order to get it:

svn checkout http://osvdb.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk osvdb

As well as implementations for the ‘Find by Microsoft Security Bulletin ID’ and ‘OSVDB ID Lookup’ queries, the repository contains test cases and a Rakefile to generate RDoc documentation for the library.

Stay tuned for updates.
