[FOSSology] at SCALE Feb 25-25 Los Angeles
Hi Everyone, I plan on being at the Southern California Linux Expo Feb 25-27 http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale9x/ So of anyone wants to get together there and talk about fossology, let me know. I'll be in the HP booth, but we can get together in the evening if you would like. Thanks, Bob Gobeille b...@fossology.org ___ fossology mailing list fossology@fossology.org http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
Re: [FOSSology] Reg: Updates to Fossology repository
Hi Pravin, I can answer your question on updating licenses and copyrights. How to add a license is documented on http://fossology.org/nomos. However, adding a license is a code fork. So if this is a license that is not specific to you, it would be good to get it into the fossology distribution. We have had people who aren't committers send us patches. I've also added licenses on request.I could add a method to simplify this, but so far there hasn't been much demand. Alex, who wrote the copyright scanner is going to write up how to update it. Currently, the copyright scanner uses a very small dictionary to identify copyrights and other developer touch points. The dictionary looks like this: copyright (c) written modified patched maintained contributed copy; #169; #xa9; author So one thing you can do is extend this dictionary. However, we could add a second method that uses regex's so that you could write very specific rules. Would that be helpful or does extending the dictionary work for you? If you can share on this list (or send me privately if necessary) the copyrights that are being missed, we can get a better idea of the problem you see and what the solution is.

Regarding your request, I can try to help with this: Request 1: 1. Your installation is from source or packages? a. If from source, you need to check out new release code, compile and install with install instruction from source. b. If from packages, the new packages will support upgrade. 2. Both from source/packages, the upgrade process will not remove your old date in the repository and database. Request 2: For now we didn’t support edit the analysis results, if needed you should update from database, this will be our further feature. Hope that help some.

[FOSSology] Test packages for FO 1.3.0 now available
Greetings Happy New Year! The FOSSology Project is pleased to announce availability of test packages for FOSSology 1.3.0. Per the attachments, unofficial install packages for testing on the following platforms distros are available for download: * Debian Packages (amd64 i386) http://fossology.org/debian/1.3.0-rc1/ * RPM Packages (rhel5/centos5 fedora12 fedora13 i386 and x86_64) http://fossology.org/rpms/ Please refer to the attached instructions to configure your system to use apt or yum for installing the FOSSology packages. (We are having trouble creating Ubuntu packages, but plan to have them available at release time.) New features/enhancements include: 1. Groups. http://fossology.org/perms Implemented user groups inside of fossology as an indirect but critical requirement for 1.3 because tagging (the real 1.3 requirement) is dependent on having groups to administer tag permissions. 2. http://fossology.org/tagging File Tagging I. The ability to attach a tag (short (max 32 character) tag, plus a long text) to a file or container. II. Tagging requires permission for creating, attaching, and viewing tags which is why we have a dependency on groups. 3. Copyright agent replaced. A quick experiment showed that we get better results with simple heuristics rather than the old agent based on naive Bayes. 4. Fixed a cp2foss authentication bug that prevented bucket agent from getting scheduled. 5. Many bug fixes! There are a couple known bugs in unpack when running under RHEL/Fedora. (http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596 and http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597) Fixes have been checked in and will be rolled into the next set of test packages. Please report any other bugs using our bug reporting system hosted by The Linux Foundation at http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/ OR, write to the fossology mailing list.
