Bob, There was no reason why my previous post didn't go to the community mailing list. I simply clicked reply on your email, and the gmail didn't do what I really intended. Next time, I will try to remember this.
The PDF report is not of an interest for me. I am interested in the simple text dump aspect of that feature. This interests is driven by the desire of exporting of the fossology data to another data source so we could perform mining in the future. Maybe this original desire could be addressed by other ways? A new feature request, probably? Please advise. Also, see below for my answers to the Need to Know questions. --- Need to know: Is this an archived report or archived license analysis data? If the data is archived the original report could theoretically be regenerated. That is, it could be regenerated as long as the software writing the report hasn't changed significantly. Answer: As you have mentioned, data+engine=report. So, either side of the equation is good. The left side (data+engine) is even better. Need to know: Reports contain many links. Are the links expected to work? Answer: Yes. 2009/8/4 Bob Gobeille <[email protected]>: > Hello Simon, > > Is there a reason you didn't post to [email protected]?
