Coding Period Week-6

Attendees

• Michael C. Jaeger
• Gaurav Mishra
• Avinal Kumar
• Sarita Singh

Week 5 Progress

• Added ScanCodeFindings table in Copyright Browser on UI.
• Working on populating this table with scancode_copyright data.
• Created tables for scancode_copyright_event and scancode_author_event.
• Added copyright and license text in source code.
• Added comments for source code.
• Merged LicenseMatch to Match class
• Instead of using vector of LicenseMatch class, using map of type Match class in scancode_wrapper to save parsed value of result scanned by ScanCode.

Discussions

• Instead of using RuleBits as done by decider, using flags as scancode CLI options conventions would be nice.
• These could be various flags:
  • -l -> license
  • -c -> copyright and holder
  • -e -> email in the file, and
  • -u -> URL in the file
• These flags would be used in ScanCode command.
• Gaurav suggested to look for Maintagent UI. It uses flags ( more verbose ).
• It would be nice to implement ScanCode for CLI, can do this after once done with copyright/author UI.

Conclusion and Further Plans

• Add flags for ScanCode command to keep it verbose and match with scancode CLI flags.
• Try to complete copyright UI by next meet.
• Next task would be to implement ScanCode for CLI options once done with copyright/author UI.
