--------------------------------------
Summary: Automatically run a basic NOTICE file check on CI
Key: FLINK-19810
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19810
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Reporter: Robert Metzger
Assignee: Robert Metzger
Fix For: 1.12.0
For every release, we are manually validating the NOTICE files, according to
this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Licensing
The most time-consuming task is ensuring that all modules that deploy a shaded
dependency to maven central are properly documenting this dependency in their
NOTICE file.
I would like to add a tool to Flink that checks if all shaded dependencies are
at least mentioned in the NOTICE file.
We will still need to perform a manual checks, but the tool should catch the
most common, severe and difficult to find problems.
