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. What it does is extract
metadata from images, doc files, etc. This agent has caused many of
you to have install problems. It also writes a great many records to
the attrib table. Since (I believe) many of you run this agent
because you don't know what it does and we don't really make use of
the data, I'd like to remove the agent, at least until we make
pgkmetagetta a separate installable module.
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.
Are you saying you would rather move it to a separate package than
remove it from the main package?
Are you saying that we should keep it because someone somewhere might
use the data even though fossology doesn't?
