--E.g. once we have run Fossology on Linux kernel version 2.6.20 and now that we need to run it on 2.6.24, is there a way to see the differences between the results of these analyses?
--(We use quite a lot of effort to review and report the Fossology results and if that work has to be done again with a new version of the package, it is not optimal.) -Hi Martin, -This is a high priority on our task list <http://fossology.org/task_list> http://fossology.org/task_list under "Integrate DistroDB (distro package reports)". I've done these package reports before but never - implemented them in fossology. The reports show you things like what files have changed between kernels (or any package versions). When implemented in fossology, we will -also show things like "what licenses have changed between versions". Does this sound like it will meet your needs? Hello Bob Yes, this really sounds like it would do it! Getting the changed, new and deleted files separately out is important, because it allows you to verify the process and understand how the "what licenses have changed between versions" works. (I assume Fossology determines somehow, for each changed file, which is the original file, or if it is a new file - probably not an easy task every time - and then, if the license information is different between these files, the difference is shown. Then files could of course have been deleted, too.) Thanks for pointing me to the task list. I hadn't noticed it earlier. Looks great, thanks. Martin
