Existing modules include license analysis, meta data extraction, and MIME type identification. This open source software tool analyzes a given set of software packages, and reports items such as the software licenses used by these packages. text/html 2008-10-10T09:45:25-06:00 http://fossology.org/0.9.0:glossary_of_terms?rev=1223653525&do=diff This section provides defintions of Fossology terms used in the Fossology software and documentation.

Tip: Look at the Engine-Shell code in the SVN tree as an example. Purpose Agents are used to perform analysis, statistics, or management tasks related to anything in the database.

A: Use 'ps' to see what jobs are currently running: ps -u fossy -f . Also use top: top -u fossy . If none of the processes are consuming CPU cycles and jobs are scheduled then the scheduler might be hung. However, if any jobs are running and consuming CPU cycles, then there is probably nothing hung -- some jobs just take a while. (Processing large files, like ISO images, can take hours.) text/html 2008-10-10T09:45:25-06:00 http://fossology.org/0.9.0:ui.6?rev=1223653525&do=diff Proposal for new web UI (to be implemented sometime after version 0.6.0): The following mailing list items discuss the UI requirements: * <http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology/2007-November/000000.html> * <http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology/2008-January/000055.html> text/html 2008-10-10T09:45:25-06:00 http://fossology.org/0.9.0:upload_from_a_file?rev=1223653525&do=diff To upload to the Fossology data-base you must be logged in.
