** is there a downstream interest in having such an action?* Could create a survey and see if ASF can share it with the other projects? Might help with getting an understanding if they would find it beneficial.
** would this be a good way to leave the ASF-centric eco-system (dominated by Maven & Ant-based consumers)?* I don't know the percentage of projects that are, or not, Maven/Ant-based, but Apache Cordova is not Maven/Ant-based. The majority of our code is JavaScript. We use the Rat CLI tool (JAR) and run it against all files to ensure license compliance. This proves that Rat is, and can be, used outside of Maven/Ant. ** are there other general issues that need to be concerned?* I don't think it's a concern, but will a PMC vote be required when releasing a new tag for the action? The only change between tags is the default version of the Rat binary to download and use. The Rat CLI tool would have already gone through the voting process. I suspect there is no need for an additional vote. On Wed, Dec 13, 2023 at 1:20 AM P.
