Hi Larry, I would be glad to collaborate with you on integrating it with the other existing tools. I think that the Developers mailing list would be the best place for it.
I think that collecting documentation, tools and so on in the project would be a great idea. But I miss a feature in SourceForge that would ease it: the possibility of grouping repositories together (available in GitHub, Gitorious, GitLab...). That way one can get the FOSSology source code and FossyTools independently from each other. Such a separation would keep FOSSology source code installable with the classical "make", "make install"... procedure for those who want to install from source code and FossyTools would be a separate repository mainly for developers. BTW, another feature that I miss in SourceForge and is provided by the other services mentioned above is commit reviews with comments.

This fossytools will be very useful for us, we will learn how to run it, how it works, if possible we will add it or part of it into fossology. We have already covered part of Fossytools functionalities. Vincent, Bob, we are doing performance testing automation, and maintenance agent, possibly we can refer to FossyTools. Last week, I sent one mail, subject: collecting all the tools/projects/etc related to FOSSology. Here I propose that except collecting the documentations, if possible we also can add a branch to store the related source code, and update them periodically. What do you think? That will very helpful. -Larry From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cirujano Cuesta, Silvano Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 12:34 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [FOSSology] FossyTools Hi, I've written a small tool that my team within Siemens uses to install FOSSology from source code. This tools checks that the output of each step involved in the installation doesn't yield any error or unexpected warnings. It can automatically run the Nomos tests and do some Nomos performance measurements as part of the installation. This package combined with automated installation on virtual machines deployed with Vagrant (we will also contribute in the near future the Vagrant configurations that we are using for this matter) is helping us a lot in our daily development activities. This tool can be used anyway independently of the whole Vagrant deployment. We hope that this tool can be useful for other people involved in the development/usage of FOSSology. We think that the FOSSology project is the best place to host this tool; therefore I send attached the package in source code format, including instructions on how to generate installable binaries. Hopefully using it isn't difficult to use, since it has some documentation and usage outputs when invoked from command line. Regards, Silvano
