Perl is awesome ! As for SPDX to DEP5 conversion, there are probably several difficulties ahead, one of them being the files: full paths in SPDX vs. patterns in DEP5. Which would create likely bloated DEP5 files. -- Philippe Ombredanne _______________________________________________ Spdx-tech mailing list Spdx-tech@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-tech
