Automation for the Spec¶
- Level of Automation for 3.0
- OWL document —> Schema’s work —> Sample code, etc.
- Two sources of errors: tools doing translations, copy paste error
- Can we look at automating the creation from everything from one source of record.
- Having mark down be the source of record.
- Automation Proposals:
- Pick a source of record, everything else is automated from there.
- Diagram - how can this work with markdown.
- Possibly not include generated artifacts in repo.
- Could be added into a github action to generate diagram. Not store in repo itself, since its generated.
- Everytime PR, get new OWL document
- William’s diagrams are already generated by plugin
- Software generate example files, and then they are included in markdown.
- Concern: How fragile are the tools?
- Gary - will handcode in Java, specific to SPDX. Subsection & schemas. Tool dependency.
- Thomas - Companies do this, but we need to make sure.
- Sections will have to be very much tied to the formatting.
- Breaking formatting may break build. PR requested via breaking build. More of burden for submitters.
- Nisha, Kate, William, are a favor in trying this.
- Gary looking for collaboration on the tools. Nisha & Rose willing to work with Python.
- Gary ok to do it in Python, if Rose able to help out here. Separate Sync up in 2 or 3 weeks.
- William ok mentor. Thomas ok to review.
- Revisit in 3 weeks - status of tooling
SPDX 3.0¶
- How do we submit proposals for 3.0?
- Use Github Issues
- Proposal to add Github labels for the profiles
- Add Tech Team review as a label to schedule a call
- Annotations and/or Relationships have YAML samples for review
- Kate will help with the examples
- Suggest we start a mapping spreadsheet
- Kate will start the sheet
- Wait for 2.2.1 template completion from John
- After template, William will create 3.0
- Need a way to specify which profiles are in effect
- Suggest adding a field to the base
- Base is always listed, additional profiles are also listed
- Defer versioning
- Discussed if you can use fields from other profiles
- OK to re-use fields from other profiles
- Profiles define which fields are mandatory
- To be further discussed
Next Week’s Agenda¶
- Thomas to lead discussion on Security profile
