Re: [FOSSology] Installing Fossology

[Laser, Mary]

Hi Jeff,
Bob is out of the office today and he’s asked me to reply to your email.

Yes, in general, you need to install all dependencies (everything you listed 
below & more), tune the kernel, configure the applications (Postgres, apache, 
php).

For dependencies, there is a utility packaged with FOSSology called 
fo-installdeps 
(http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/tags/1.2.1/utils/fo-installdeps?revision=3505&view=markup)
 that should install everything you need.

We recognize our install process is much more complicated than it should be.  
We are trying to improve it with each new release.  Please feel free to write 
to the mailing list for additional help.

Mary

Could you verify the steps we would need to take to install a fresh install of 
Fossology. I looked at the fossology site for OEL ( aka Red hat ) and it seems 
to say the following


 1.  Install Libextractor , sleuth kit , ucl ,upx , unrar & cabextract – 
dependencies
 2.  Install postgresql & php ?
 3.  Install the rpm
 4.  Configure the kernel
 5.  Configure postgresql
 6.  Configure php

Is this the sequence you recommend ?

Regards

Jeff

[FOSSology] Removal of bSAM analyzer from FOSSology

[Laser, Mary]

Hello FOSSologists,
As you may recall, we have been making noises about removing the bSAM license 
analyzer from FOSSOlogy for several months.  In preparation for that, a new 
license analyzer (nomos) was introduced in release 1.2.0.  The bSAM menus and 
functionality have remained in FOSSology, but we stopped support and 
enhancement of bSAM to encourage users to start using the new nomos analyzer.  
The bSAM functionality is scheduled to be removed in the first half of 2011.

If you have bSAM generated license analysis results in your database, you will 
no longer have access to the results once bSAM is removed.  Furthermore, there 
is NO upgrade path from bSAM results to nomos results.  Therefore, you MUST 
rerun license analysis on your uploads using the nomos analyzer introduced in 
1.2.0.

You can run nomos analysis on uploads using these steps:
1. Select “Jobs” → “Agents” from the top menu bar.
2. Select the folder containing the upload you wish to analyze.
3. Select the upload to analyze.
4. A list of analyses available for the upload are listed in step 3 of the 
window.
5. Select the one you wish to run and Click on the “Analyze” button.
6. The job is automatically queued up & run.


If you have any questions, please email us at 
fossology@fossology.org.

Thanks,
The FOSSology Project
