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.

Regards,
   Silvano

Hi  Silvano,

Thanks for your contribution.
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

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
