That was my intent, so I grabbed the first pending project and it's tarball happened to be a tarbomb... I've recalled just how many times I've had to deal with that before, so my thought was: "Not again!" There was some move to write a compliance checker script, so I thought that this might be a good starting point: the first thing I'd do when reviewing submission is extracting the tarball, then I would do thing A and thing B, etc. There's a lot of automation opportunity here, so why waste time doing that manually over and over again? > Scripts aren't worth it. Others may have their own opinion. :-p I think Alex Fernandez already answered this rather clearly down this thread. > Project > evaluation isn't all about mechanical license checking!. I didn't say the script is to "replace the review completely," it's just to "aid in the process." >> I'm now attaching the script here, but maybe there is something like a >> github account for savannah hackers?.. > > WTF??? >:( Sorry man, I didn't want to offend you or anyone else by mentioning github (oops, I did it again) or any other "competing" project hosting platform.
