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. On 01/19/2011 02:41 PM, Dave McLoughlin wrote:

I found it. Here¹s what I was referring to: >From Mary Laser to the fossology mailing list on 11/12/10: ³Furthermore, 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 1.2.0.² Thanks, --

This is correct. Since we get better and faster results with nomos, and bSAM is difficult to maintain, we no longer want to support it. We don't want to migrate your data because it is potentially very time consuming to rescan all your uploads. This would be especially wasteful if you are no

I¹m not sure I understand what ³upgrade path from bsam results to nomos results² means. If I have some scans from 1.1 and I upgrade to 1.3, does it mean I won¹t be able to view the old results unless I rescan them in 1.2 using nomos. re: suggestions? I don¹t want to have to rescan everything I cu
