Updates¶
- A replacement library for GoLang was contributed by Steve
- A new repository was created: https://github.com/spdx/tools-golang
- The old go library was renamed to ATTIC-go but is still available: https://github.com/spdx/ATTIC-tools-go
- Added DCO sign-off to the tools git repo and golang repos
- We should go through the other repos and see if the contributing needs to be updated for a DCO signoff
SPDX Spec Contribution Process¶
- Contributing document was updated with a pull request from Thomas: https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/pull/110
- Discussion on rebase vs merge
- Rebase is easier to follow changes
- Maintaining various development branches
- Latest deployed version is master
- Any changes to the latest, a new branch will be made for a hotpatch to the master
- For later branches, we can do rebases to incorporate the appropriate changes
- Need to handle merge conflicts which are likely due to breaking changes in the major version
- Suggest waiting until a release candidate then do a big merge
- Would like to generate the specification for the in-development branches
