Hi Bob,

Thanks for your helping!! I have learned lots of things(*^__^*) But I still had some troubling:

1.About the question1, I want to export license result to my local system, that other people can see the result easily and no need to login fossology. But it is not requried, only one idea:)

Is the issue that you don't want them to have to login or that you want an export format that can be easily imported into another program (csv, excel, rtf, ...)? If the former, I can tell you how to change the license view plugin so that it doesn't require authentication. If the later, we have that on our todo list. If you want the report as a pdf, you can (if you have adobe acrobat) write the web page off as a pdf. For example, on my mac I can simply "print to pdf".

2.About question2,

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

It means when my uploaded package has some specific files, such as pdf, jpg... I should open this optional, right? If my uploaded package only has text file, C file...and do not choose 'Metadata analysis', it can metadata analysis by default right?In my environment, when I uploaded some common type files, and do not choose 'Metadata analysis', I also can see the 'meta' in result.

In general, I do not select the metadata analysis option because I'm usually only interested in the license analysis. You can always run it later if you change your mind.

But I had one problem: when I upload some specific type file,such as jpg, pdf...but it does not upload successfully and with any comments in uploaded page and log file? I installed the fossology base on the install instructions, I installed the dependencies,is there any settnig I should set? or is there anything I am wrong?

Could you be more specific on the steps you are taking?
Is this a problem with only a specific type of file you are uploading? How do you know the upload isn't successful?
Can you do any successful uploads and analysis?
