Attendees​

Current Progress​

  • Learnt PHP, SQL database.
  • Lerning API on which Gaurav has suggested to leave it for now.
  • Working on a project using PHP, SQL, Twig template, should be completed before the next meet.

Discussions​

  • Gaurav suggested to make GSoC timeline accessible to everyone and prepare a meeting report for others.
  • About the wrapper
    • I found the Ninka wrapper to be the suitable match for scancode plugin for FOSSology:
      • useful functions for license integration are available so some changes or addition should work.
      • I have already used this wrapper to create a prototype.
      • Mentors approved to use the wrapper used for Ninka.
  • About spdx key dispute -A NOMOS and ScanCode scan output comparison list.
    • same licenses with slight variation in spdx key ex. LGPL-2.1-or-later (scancode) and LGPL-2.1+ (NOMOS) will be taken care as ojo agent does.
    • Write a regex to make license keys case insensitive ex. inner-net-2.0 (scancode) and InnerNet-2.00 (NOMOS).
    • Add new license to the license database table.
  • About the Project Proposal
    • Gaurav said everything looks fine in the proposal except the UI part. Ninka wrapper UI could work for license integration. copyright and email will required changes.
    • Once license integration will be completed, have to see for parallel processing supported by scancode to optimize the speed.

Conclusion and Further Plans​

  • Ninka Wrapper finalised.
  • Spdx key dispute solve like ojo.
  • Create scancode Jinja template.
  • Add new scan output to wrapper.
  • Fork and create a branch for development and mention the same in blog/wiki.
  • Add a timeline section in blog/wiki as provided in the project proposal.
  • Prepare a prototype/plan for the next week.

Attendees​

Week 0.1 Progress​

  • ScanCode custom output for license, copyright and holders is working.
  • Currently scancode doesn't support emails and urls custom output.
  • Opened a pr for this

Discussions​

  • About the DatabaseHandler
    • Gaurav explained how ojos databasehandler workes.
    • Convert shortname to lower-case.
    • Remove last occurrence of + and -or-later.
    • Remove last occurrence of -only.
    • Similar approach can work for license spdx key differnece in scancode and fossology database.
  • About the UI
    • ScanCode simple UI (License integration) will resemble more with ojo.
    • When it will be parametrized( copyrights, emails, urls along with license), It will resemble closely with decider UI.
    • When scancode UI will have licenses, coyright, email, urls options then user can select more than one options at once. write a plugin containg a switch case will give execute based on the options selected. Decider uses this.

Conclusion and Further Plans​

  • Scancode Jinja template is working for license and copyright.
  • Start working on scancode integration for license scanning.
  • There would be a meet at May 7, 2021.
  • Fork and create a branch for development and mention the same in blog/wiki done.
  • Add a timeline section in blog/wiki as provided in the project proposal done.
