Week 07 Meetings and Activities

Integration of ORT with FOSSology Sync Meeting 7

(July 28, 2025)

This week, I focused on preparing and testing the NOMOS release.
I demonstrated a local test run of the release setup using GitHub Actions on my forked repository. Here’s a screenshot of the release with uploaded assets:
Received feedback on refining the release workflow to match FOSSology’s standards and improve automation robustness.
Meanwhile, ORT maintainers started reviewing the pull request for the NOMOS plugin integration and provided valuable feedback on code structure, naming conventions, and output handling.
Discussed the review points with my mentor and began incorporating those changes step by step.

Developed and tested a working GitHub Actions release workflow for NOMOS in my personal fork.
Integrated build, tag, and upload steps using a static binary approach as advised by mentors and ORT maintainers.
Took feedback on naming conventions (e.g., renaming the release artifact to FOSSology-nomossa) and started refining the release process accordingly.
Began addressing the review comments on the NOMOS scanner plugin PR in the ORT repository:
- Refactored and simplified parts of the implementation based on feedback from ORT maintainers.
- Improved license result processing: previously, NOMOS-detected licenses were used directly, but now these are re-validated and mapped using ORT's SPDX utility functions to ensure standardized and accurate SPDX identifiers in the scan results.
- Removed unnecessary or redundant code sections to make the plugin cleaner and easier to maintain.
- Addressed failing CI test cases step by step as part of making the PR merge-ready.
- Improved naming and structure to better follow ORT’s plugin conventions.

Finalize the GitHub Actions release workflow and prepare a clean PR for upstream FOSSology.
Continue resolving review feedback on the ORT PR and aim for approval/merge.
Coordinate with both FOSSology and ORT maintainers for aligning release versions and tags.
