Hi,
I would like to announce the initial release of "spdx2dep".
<https://codeberg.org/buhtz/spdx2dep/releases>
That CLI tool reads SPDX metadata from a project repository and converts
it into DEP-5 format (e.g. debian/copyright). Existing DEP-5 headers
(from debian/copyright or .reuse/dep5) are preserved.
Metadata is collected using the REUSE tool (reuse lint --json).
The tool is intended to simplify the generation and maintenance of
DEP-5 copyright files for projects following the REUSE specification.
Feedback, comments, and patches are welcome.
I am not a DM/DD myself, but I often hear that handling copyright and
licensing information can require significant effort. I hope this tool
can reduce that burden in cases where upstream projects follow the
REUSE/SPDX standards.
Best regards,
Christian Buhtz
