Hi all,
The SPDX 2.2 specification is now in the final 2 week public review
window.
The SPDX tech-list participants have been working on polishing it for the
last couple of months and adding in the outstanding pull requests that have
been completed.
If you are interested in reviewing this final draft, the online rendered
version can be found at: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2-draft/
(Thank you to Thomas Steenbergen and William Bartholomew for giving us this
option, and sorting out the rendering infrastructure!)
If a reviewer spots any issues that need to be fixed before we publish the
final version, please create an issue at:
https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/issues and tag it with the milestone 2.2.
The changes from our 2.1 version of the specification at a high level are:
- JSON, YAML, and a development version of XML have been added as
supported file formats.
- A new appendix "SPDX File Tags" has been added to describe a method
that developers can use to document other SPDX file-specific information
(such as copyright notices, file type, etc.) in a standardized and easily
machine-readable manner. See Appendix IX for more information.
- A new appendix "SPDX Lite" has been added to document a lightweight
subset of the SPDX specification for scenarios where a full SPDX document
is not required. See Appendix VIII for more information.
- Additional relationship options have been added to enable expression
of different forms of dependencies between SPDX elements. As well, NONE and
NOASSERTION keywords are now permitted to be used with relationships to
indicate what is unknown.
- Additional external repository identifiers have been added to Appendix
VI (PURL, SWHids, etc.).
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and non-breaking improvements as reported on
the mailing list and reported as issues on the spdx-spec GitHub repository.
Thanks again to all the contributors who've worked on including these
changes!
Kate
