SPDX 2.0 next steps and discussion¶
- Discussion on model changes to support the instance diagrams
- Proposal to add a "ChangeLog" to relationship
- Issue with changelog only being applicable to one type of relationship
- Should we have subclasses of SpdxElementRelationship instead of or in addition to the relationship type
- Do we need to describe the file additions/subtractions?
- Could be computed from 2 complete SPDX documents?
- Supporting a changelog is more compact
- The SPDX file represents a deliverable, which should be the exploded view
- Both the changed file SPDX and exploded SPDX point to the same GIT commit
- Need further discussion on the patch use cases and modeling
- Discussion on packages and relationships
- Anything that is licenenseable will be an SpdxElement
- Distros and Packages are different
- Packages are currently defined (subclass of SpdxElement)
- Distros are not currently defined - perhaps we could add them as a new subclass of SpdxElement
- Moving usage from SpdxElement to SpdxElementRelationship
- Usage is important to license obligations
- Should be modeled "one level above"
- Reviewed current usage enumerations
- Tentatively agreed to move the property to SpdxElementRelationship -will confirm after the tech team has had a chance to think through the proposal more carefully
