Week 10

(August 6, 2025 – August 12, 2025)

Meetings

Meeting 10.1

(August 7, 2025)

Attendees

• Vaibhav Sahu
• Jan Altenberg

Discussion Points

FOSSology Dump Enhancement Research

• Issue 1 — Works only if upload name and version are identical.

  • Proposed Solution: Remove strict dependency on name/version match and use content hash (MD5/SHA1) for file identification during import.

• Issue 2 — Works only if both export and import instances are on the same commit/version.

  • Proposed Solution: Instead of aborting the entire import when an agent’s data is incompatible, log a warning and continue processing remaining data.

Other Topics Discussed

• PR review feedback for the ScanCode agent reiterated:
  1. Implement proper logging.
  2. Move global variables from common-sysconfig into the agent-specific config file.

Plan for Next Week
