Yes. Because a fossup and a fossology instance is generally something
that I just assume is provided (username/passwd/URL etc all need
configuring).
I don't see an issue in providing that recipe, though, but for my use
cases, it's going to be something I have already installed and
configured for my fossology instances outside of the build process.
I'll be happy to work up a recipe for it when I've a moment (or a patch
is always welcome).
