No.  But if you can tell us what information you want in the report  
export data file I'll see what I can do for you, or at least put it on  
the to do list.

If you only want the license analysis, 1. is the only one  you need.

The MIME-type analysis simply determines each files type.  The Spec  
File analysis uses this information to determine what files to parse.

The Metadata analysis uses libextractor to determine information about  
various files.  For example, the author in pdf files, the resolution  
of jpg's, etc.

The spec file analysis just parses RPM spec files and puts that data  
(like dependencies, category, etc) into the database.

You can see the data that the mime-type, metadata, and spec file  
analysis put in the database if you run those agents and look at the  
[meta] link when you are browsing.

email notification was added after 1.0.  It will be officially  
released in 1.1.
