[FOSSology] Announcing FOSSology 1.3.0 Release

2011-01-19 Thread Laser, Mary
The FOSSology Project is pleased to announce the release of FOSSology 1.3.0.

New in version 1.3.0:
1.   Groups.  Implemented user groups inside of fossology as an indirect but 
critical requirement for 1.3 because tagging (the real 1.3 requirement) is 
dependent on having groups to administer tag permissions.
2.   File Tagging.  The ability to attach a tag (short (max 32 character) tag, 
plus a long text) to a file or container.
3.   Copyright agent replaced. A quick experiment showed that we get better 
results with simple heuristics rather than the old agent based on naive Bayes.
4.   Fixed a cp2foss authentication bug that prevented bucket agent from 
getting scheduled.
5.   Improvements to unpack agent.
6.   Many bug fixes!

Foundation at http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/ OR, write to the fossology 
mailing list.


  -- About FOSSology --

  FOSSology is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS) project built around an open
  architecture for analyzing software. Existing modules include license 
analysis,
  Copyright/Email/URL scanner, analysis of deb and rpm packages.  This open
  source software tool analyzes a given set of software packages, and reports 
items
  such as the software licenses used by these packages.

  More than simply reporting, Package X uses license Y, the FOSSology tool
  attempts to analyze every file within the package to determine its license. 
The
  license report is thus an aggregate of all of the different licenses found to 
be
  in use by a package. A single package may be labeled as GPL but contain 
files
  that use other licenses (BSD, OSL, or any of the hundreds of other licenses). 
Even
  if an exact license is unknown, the license may be identifiable by common 
license
  phrases.

  The FOSSology Project started as an internal software development effort 
within
  Hewlett Packard's Open Source and Linux Organization. The tool evolved over
  several years at HP from a few simple shell scripts to the much more 
comprehensive
  tool you see today.

  Enjoy!
  The FOSSology team

Dave,

The team would like to know where that came from.  As far as I know, 
there are no issues like that when upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0. The 
upgrade from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0 has been tested and there were no 
compatibility issues that were found.

2011-01-19 Thread Matt Taggart
 I believe I saw something in the mailing list about losing backwards
 compatibility with 1.2 when 1.3 is released.  Is that true?

Do you mean

A) forwards-compatibility, moving a 1.2 db and repo to a 1.3 install

or

B) backwards-compatibility, moving a 1.3 db and repo to a 1.2 install


I'd expect A to work but B to fail. If A does fail it's either a bug or the 
bits don't meet the criteria to be named 1.3 (ABI breakage requires a major 
version change).
