Hi, yesterday morning Helio and me had an interesting discussion about
metadata for license check tooling. There are a few different use cases:
- Helio needs those for his FOSS license tooling
- I would really like to improve the generation of Yocto license metadata,
which we currently have to keep in sync manually
- maybe this is something that distros would also like to use in their QA
processes...
Bottom line, we ended in scheduling a BoF for this evening (Tuesday), 6 PM
(UTC) i.e. 8 PM in Berlin time.
Key question is: Do we see a convenient way to generate package metadata for
the binary artifacts and/or dependencies to other libraries without creating a
horrible maintenance burden?
Cheers,
Andreas
