Week 1

(June,01,2023)

Updates:​

  • I was primarily exploring the SPDX2 agent codebase while setting up FOSSology and configuring the PHP debugger for development.
  • During this process, Gaurav Mishra helped me in handling the errors that I encountered and running agents from the command line.
  • To run an agent from the terminal, we can use the following command:
    • echo <args> | sudo /usr/local/etc/fossology/mods-enabled/<agent>/agent/<agent> --jobId=<job_id> --config=/usr/local/etc/fossology --userID=3 --groupID=3 --scheduler_start
    • Please replace <args>, <agent> and <job_id> with the appropriate values when executing the command.

Conclusion and further plans:​

  • I will start working on the CycloneDx agent in the upcoming week.
  • For now, my plan is to create a demo agent for CycloneDx and test if it's running correctly from the command line.
  • Once I have successfully created the agent, I will utilize the CycloneDx PHP library to generate reports for FOSSology.
  • After generating the report, I will work on creating a custom implementation of CycloneDx to generate our own reports in FOSSology.
