------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried to update the action to use RAT 0.17:
* https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action-test/pull/1
* https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action/issues/7
Most probably (due to the change in the report layout and configuration
options) some more changes are necessary.
Once the action is compatible with RAT0.17 I'd start to contact infra to get
all the repos in ASF-creadur space.
[~erisu] would you mind joining the Creadur mailing list and help out with
taking care of the action within our PMC?
Thanks

> Apache RAT - GitHub Action
> --------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-337
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Bryan Ellis
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> The Release Audit Tool is great for detecting "Unknown Licenses" when missing
> or when the header license is not Apache.
> In our Apache project, we are using this tool during our release process.
> Many times new files are created without license headers and not noticed
> until the release phase.
> For projects that use GitHub and GitHub Action workflows, I believe providing
> an action that can test on PR submission and push would be beneficial.
> Here is a GitHub Action composite workflow that was created to achieve this
> goal.
> https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action
> And here is the repo I used to test the above action.
> https://github.com/erisu/apache-rat-action-test
> This action only runs on Linux and could be updated to work on macOS. The way
> it is currently written will not work on Windows.
> If you think this action is useful and would like to take ownership, I could
> transfer the repo.
> In the above example the GitHub Action usage is:
> {code:java}
> - uses: erisu/apache-rat-action@v1
> {code}
> And if transfered and properly tagged, it could become:
> {code:java}
> - uses: apache/creadur-rat-action@v1
> {code}
