  •         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

 

-          Agreed on the usefulness of a definition “{} represent a collection of one or more files that are delivered as a unit" vs "A package represents a collection of software files that are delivered as a single functional component" from <a href="http://spdx.org/system/files/spdx-rdf-terms_27.html#Package">http://spdx.org/system/files/spdx-rdf-terms_27.html#Package</a>

  •   The “{}” term will be replaced with an agreed upon term (TBD)
  •   Follow-up on possibly further defining “delivered as a unit”
