Hi Matt, I’m glad that took care of it. nomos (nomossa) only scans a single file, like a .c. This is why you have to unpack your iso and execute nomos on every single unpacked file. However, while you can’t pass nomos a directory, you can pass it multiple files. This will speed things up considerably. For example, nomos file1.c file2.php file3.pdf
You didn’t mention why you are using the command line, but if you use the web interface all this stuff is taken care of for you. Another big advantage to using the web interface is that once a file is scanned, it is not rescanned in another upload. For example, say you uploaded big_v1.iso and later uploaded big_v2.iso. If 50% of the files in v2 were in v1, then only the new 50% will be rescanned. This saves a lot of time. There are also a command line utilities that you can use to send files to the fossology server. http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Using_FOSSology_from_the_Command_Line For example, you could send your iso to a fossology server with: cp2foss —user bob —password mypass RHEL6.3.iso Bob On Jun 25, 2014, at 7:52 AM, Joseph, Matthew (EXP) <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Bob, > > I just tried your method and it worked like a charm! > Before I was just running nomos on the directory and it picked up just the 1 > GPL license. > > Thanks again for the help, if I have any more questions I’ll defiantly give > you a shout. > > Matt > > From: Gobeille, Robert [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 10:35 AM > To: Joseph, Matthew (EXP) > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: EXTERNAL: Re: [FOSSology] Seg Fault on large ISO > > Hi Matt, > No that doesn’t seem correct.
