Wow, these are awesome additions. Is there more info on the tag value
generation? I assume it means that one can create tags like
"SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0"?

​Repo works with any git repository, we use it with non-Android embedded
development, its a very useful tool. It replaces the need for using git
submodules I find.​

​Isn't repo effective as a tool that uses SHA sums to assemble a local
repo? I would think this might be a useful addition to Fossology, depending
on how you're planning on using it of course.

[FOSSology] Wiki registration 404'ing

[Jeremiah Foster]

This URL http://archive15.fossology.org/account/register is giving me a
404.

Is there another way to register to edit the wiki? I was hoping to document
my Fossology 3.0 install on Debian 8.

Cheers,

Jeremiah

​You certainly should be able to set Fossology up on a machine inside your
corporate firewall. Many companies do that.
