Minutes 1/31/2012

Attendees:

  •         Gary O’Neall
  •         Bill Schineller
  •         Kirsten Newcomer
  •         Ed Warnicke
  •         Steve Crawford
  •         Rana Rahal
  •         Jack Manbeck
  •         Peter Williams

Agenda:

  • ·         Discussion on SPDX package definitions
  • ·         Discuss proposal for hierarchical supply chain (bug 818)

Package definitions:

-          Start with Wiki’s definitions

-          Kate proposed any collection of files

-          Jack’s proposal – unit of delivery of software files

  •   What is a “unit” of delivery, over time one unit of delivery may not be a unit of delivery later in the supply chain
  •  Discussion on package/subpackage supply chain model [manufacturing analogy]
  •   Different between unit of consumption vs. unit of delivery

-          The current RDF Package definition could be used

  •   Discussion on if a single file could be both a package and not a package

-          “whatever” represent a collection of files made available for use

-          Agreed on the usefulness of a definition “’whatever’ represent a collection of files made available for use

  •   The “whatever” term will be replaced with an agreed upon term (TBD)
  •   Follow-up on possibly further defining “made available for use”
