Logistics
- Move to 2:00 Eastern to accommodate west coast- considering that we don’t currently have any attendees from Europe. Kate will update Wiki.
Feedback from LinuxCon
- Discussed relationship between SPDX packages and the needed for a hierarchical relationship
- Discussed PDDL
- Discussed compatibility between tags and RDF for future development
Numbering for Spec. version
- Format AA.BB.CC
- AA – Major version - Incremented for changes incompatible with previous versions (current definition)
- BB – Minor version - would be used when changes may impact the consumer, but is compatible with previous versions
- CC – Micro version - would be used when the changes do not impact to the consumer of SPDX
Tools source structure
- Create separate repositories for the different language tools
- Create a separate git-repo named “Python-SPDX-Tools”
- Rename current tools repo to “Java-SPDX-Tools”
- Kate will either send info to Gary or send info to Linux Foundation to make changes
Note: Bugzilla has a target field to indicate which release the resolution is targeted for. There are no targets for detail “CC” versions; we will use the major version targets for those changes.
Verification code algorithm
- Need to specify a better separator character “\n” is ambiguous – Kate will choose a character and update spec
- Update to the verification code algorithm would result in an increment to the micro version (e.g. 1.0.1)
Bug 818 – Composite packages
- Agreed to create a request for proposal
- Will update bug with additional information discussed on the call
- Three approaches were discussed:
- Include all composite information in one document
- Keep package documents separate and have separate new type of file to cross reference.
- Enable multiple documents to cross reference each other
- Link files
- Unique IDs
- Can use the verification code
- Signing documents
- How does adding reviewer information impact the signing?
- Composite packages requirements
- Requirements will be included in the request for proposal
- We will discuss the requirements on next week’s call
“Garbage Files” (e.g. .svn files)
- All files need to be included in the file info, even “garbage files”
- Proposal to create a new file type – “CRUFT” – proposal for the mailing list. Gary will write a proposal in the form of a bug and send to the mailing list. (Bug 944 has been added with the proposal)
