Bob (and everyone else on the list) I wanted to take this opportunity and thank the team for making such great strides getting FOSSology to the point of an RPM install. I am looking for to the official release ....
After some thought, I think this would be a GREAT case study to demonstrate why Linux needs to have certain standards in place that are COMMON across all distributions. The efforts that were spent on getting FOSSology running on another distribution of Linux (from Debian to Redhat / Centos) should help open some eyes that this really is a problem From: Bob Gobeille <[email protected]> To: Jeff Sheltren <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Date: 05/28/2009 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [FOSSology] RPM Spec Recommendations Sent by: [email protected] On May 27, 2009, at 10:55 PM, Jeff Sheltren wrote: > On May 15, 2009, at 1:27 PM, Jeff Sheltren wrote: > > The only build requirement that I can see which isn't in EL5 base or > in EPEL is libextractor-devel.

For example, libextractor is only used by the pkgmetagetta module, which most people probably don't care about anyway. We are probably going to have optional modules (agents + UI) in the future anyway. We have talked about this in the past but perhaps we need to do something about it. IF this is a good idea, the first thing I would do is make pkgmetagetta optional. Optional modules is also seems like a good way to introduce most new functionality since the new code will probably be less stable than the base code.
