Hi Mohamed, FOSSology look all the scanned files as text files. Usually fossology cannot get give you the correct license report when scanning binary files, because fossology cannot find license signatures to match. That is why usually you have to scan the source code or license files of the scanned project. I do not understand your question. What do you mean 'have included the license files in the compiled binary files'?

There is no size limit if you use Upload from Server or Upload from URL. The max upload size for "upload from file" is specified in php.ini (e.g. /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) in variable post_max_size (or maybe upload_max_filesize).

Need your clarification over this. Previously i had run FOSSology tool to scan source files. Now i have got a couple of compiled binary files from third party vendor that too with the size approx 2GB. Will fossology tool be able to scan binary files and produce corresponding output as like it scans and produces report for source codes files.? And also I would like to know the maximum upload size of files. Thanks in Advance.

Then you will find 2 packages which have the same name, you can just click on the 2nd package to see the new report. Process: 1. Assuming your fist uploaded package is abc.zip under /Software repository/ xyz.zip (here you said your current folder is xyz.zip), on your local machine, you have to extract this package locally , then add more files, then compact them to abc.zip again. 2. Upload abc.zip to to /Software repository/ xyz.zip to scan the 2nd time. 3. After the scanning is done, under folder /Software repository/ xyz.zip, you will find 2 abc.zip, click on the newer abc.zip to get the report, this report is what you want. Do not worry, though there are 2 xyz.zip, when fossology scanning 2nd abc.zip, fossology do not scanning the same files that in the 1st abc.zip. 4. Also, you can compare these 2 same package to diff, get the differences between these 2 packages on the browse page. Hope it helps.

Now i want to add two new files to the xyz.zip. How Can i add two more files to the repository inside the folder xyz.zip via UI. Is it possible? Or I should externally add that two new files to the xyz.zip folder and upload to the software repository? But already I have a xyz.zip folder in the repository. Even though it exists, What will happen if i add the same folder to the repository. Will it do full scan of the folder? or the particular two new files?. Could you please tell me procedure for doing like this??

Lets take an example. I have a folder called SourceCode.zip which has some packages and binary files. I am using the tool for software analysis. It has completely analyzed. Now i am adding two more new files to the SourceCode and performing the analysis using FOSSology. Will it analyze the complete SourceCode or only the two new added files(Because complete source code analysis will take more time or if it is analyzing only two newly added files then it is time consumption). Does FOSSology have any such functionality?

I think you installed FOSSology from packcage, right? If yes, you do not have to do more configurations, please ignore www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Install_2_1<http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Install_2_1> Just checking the below things. 1. Can you access fossolgy from GUI Via http://HOSTNAME/repo/<http://hostname/repo/> ? please replace HOSTNAME with your real hostname. If cannot, please sudo cp /usr/etc/fossology/conf/fo-apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/, then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart try to access fossolgy from GUI again. 2. Is the scheduler running? On GUI, Login with fossy/fossy, then click on [Admin]-->[Scheduler] menu, on the Scheduler Administration page, click on Submit, you will get the states msg on the top of this page. If the scheduler is not running. On cli, please run sudo /etc/init.d/fossology start if you still can not start the scheduler, please grab the error msg /var/log/fossology/fossology.log to me Hope it helps. -Larry From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Mohamed Fazil Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 1:53 PM To: Stangel, Dan Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FOSSology] Help needed to installFOSSology Tool Hi Dan, Thanks a lot for your help.

First i want know these configuration steps are mandatory to use fossology tool. I tried those steps. Below are the issues which i faced in post installation. Section 1 - Short Installation Instructions # utils/fo-cleanold --> Where will I get fo-cleanold script. utils folder is not available. # utils/fo-installdeps --> Where will I get fo-cleanold script. utils folder is not available. 3rd step had run properly(via root user) 3.
