Week 9

(July,27,2023)

Updates:​

  • During this week, my focus was on leveraging the ScanCode API within the ScanCode agent to efficiently retrieve licenses and copyrights information from files. The API has demonstrated faster results compared to the command line interface (CLI).
  • I've also made improvements in how the output from Python scripts, invoked by the ScanCode agent, is processed and utilized.
  • Notably, the current process lacks the inclusion of emails and URLs identified in a file when invoking ScanCode via CLI. To address this, I have made changes to add the missing information to the database for each file.
  • A compilation of all the changes made this week and in preceding weeks regarding scancode agent can be reviewed here.

Conclusion and further plans:​

  • In the coming weeks, I will continue to try different approaches to improve the ScanCode agent in FOSSology.
