Hi, yesterday morning Helio and me had an interesting discussion about metadata for license check tooling. There are a few different use cases:
- Helio needs those for his FOSS license tooling - I would really like to improve the generation of Yocto license metadata, which we currently have to keep in sync manually - maybe this is something that distros would also like to use in their QA processes... Bottom line, we ended in scheduling a BoF for this evening (Tuesday), 6 PM (UTC) i.e. 8 PM in Berlin time. Key question is: Do we see a convenient way to generate package metadata for the binary artifacts and/or dependencies to other libraries without creating a horrible maintenance burden? Cheers, Andreas
