[jira] Created: (FOR-857) append license files to the top-level
LICENSE.txt
append license files to the top-level LICENSE.txt
-------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-857
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-857
Project: Forrest
Type: Bug
Components: Project administration
Reporter: David Crossley
Evidently the license files for accompanying external products needs to be appended after the Apache License in the top-level $FORREST_HOME/LICENSE.txt rather than the current situation with scattered individual license files.
Perhaps the current discussion on the legal-discuss mailing list will clarify

# Description:
# * Scan the tree to find artefacts (*.jar and *.zip).
# * Scan the tree to find license files. The practice at Forrest is to add
# a license file beside each artefact using a similarly named text file.
# * Scan the top-level LICENSE.txt file which has a "license:" entry for
# each license file.
# * Match artefacts, license files, and license entries.
# * Report anomalies.
#
# FIXME: This is a quick prototype to get past the Forrest-0.9 release.

# Procedure:
# ./licer.pl $FORREST_HOME $FORREST_HOME/etc/licer-avoid.txt > licer-out.txt

Done as much as i can.
The main one needing investigation is lib/core/concurrent-1.3.4.jar.license.txt
Does upgrading help?

David Crossley commented on FOR-857:
------------------------------------
I have decided to only list the license files in the top-level LICENSE.txt file. This is still a vast improvement on what we did for the 0.8 release.
Appending each license file is just too huge a job. Better to eventually use Ivy for our supporting products, as suggested in FOR-1123.

Tim Williams commented on FOR-857:
----------------------------------
If you know of a good, reasonably reliable find command, pls share it. Otherwise, I'll try to write something in ruby to do this.
On the other hand, this got me wondering, is RAT not verifying this for us?

David Crossley commented on FOR-857:
------------------------------------
For the 0.8 release we added a listing of pathnames for all licenses for supporting products, into the top-level LICENSE.txt file.
That was reasonably easy with 'find' because we tried to maintain a file naming convention following the {packageName}.license.txt pattern.
That was double-checked by searching for all jar etc packages and ensure that they had a matching license file.
That process needs to be repeated each at release until we get a better way.

------------------------------------
No, RAT does other things (basically helping with part B of FOR-855).
Yes i do have a Perl script that i am using to assist me with this FOR-857 and with some of part A of FOR-855.
I will keep doing this task, while other people get on with the other release-related issues. As i tidy up the program, i will add a version here.
