Debian lenny has 8.3 and backports.org has 8.3 for etch, so this should be OK for Debian. I suspect RHEL/CentOS might be a problem since I think EPEL only provides software that's not already in RHEL/CentOS in some version. There might be some other source for it, maybe JeffS knows? > 2) remove the Metadata analysis > If you are only interested in licenses, this analysis does nothing for > you except cost you time and disk space.

A) Yes it caused install problems, but a lot of that is behind us now that libextractor is in EPEL and the yum repos make things easier. B) For the Debian packaging I can make this happen pretty easily, I designed things to allow for just this sort of thing if we needed it. So I'd rather not remove the agent. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@fossology.org _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list fossology@fossology.org http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
