Enhancement with ClearlyDefined.io (spasht)​

The Spasht agent is used to fetch the metadata of licenses and copyrights of any uploaded package or project. The fetched data from the ClearlyDefined.io is stored in the spasht database and displayed using license and copyright tables.

To send or push the curated data back to ClearlyDefined.io, According to ClearlyDefined, we have to send an HTTP request with or without the PR segment. If any PR number is mentioned in the HTTP request, the information regarding that PR is fetched. Otherwise, the data is fetched for the default branch "master". The curated data is updated as ClearlyDescribed and ClearlyLicensed. The ClearlyDescribed contains the data of properties like source location, issues, Project website, and release dates, whereas the ClearlyLicensed includes the data of properties like license, attribution, and number of files.

The full curation of a project is returned to Spasht, and the curated data of the selected project revision is pushed back to ClearlyDefined.io via patches. Patches contain the licensed and described data of the project. The figure below shows us a set of curations that contains the patches.
