Philosophy

Development of OSS Discovery will be guided by both the needs of enterprises, requirements of The Open Source Census, and the desires of the community.


Making Suggestions for the Roadmap

Please add any new enhancements, feature requests or Fingerprints Wanted in the Issue Tracker.


Fingerprint Rules Wanted

This is a list of some of the packages for which we need fingerprint rules written. Our highest priority is open source packages that are used within the library. Please feel free to contribute rules for these packages or add other packages to the list. To learn how to contribute rules, see the Developers Guide. As we add rules for these packages we will notate the completed package name with strike through text.

TODO List

The TODO list contains high priority issues (features and defects) which need to be addressed, but are not yet in progress. If you are looking to contribute to the project - this is a great place to start.

  • Issue Number

    Name

    Description

    DIS-9

    User can optionally choose to show or hide bundled projects in results report

    As a user, I may only be interested in seeing the "primary" projects found on my system. For instance, if Spring and Struts are both bundled with commons-logging and junit, I may only want to see that Struts & Spring are installed, and not that I have Struts, Spring, and 2 instances each of commons-logging and junit.

    DIS-22

    User is able to see a list of directories or files which could not be scanned

    In addition to the directories/files scanned I would also like to see a count for what it couldn't scan as a link( or expander ) so people could see where it got cut off. An Example of where this would come in handy if the user was trying to verify all open source software they were currently using on a web server they might want to run the scan as the web server user, but if someone left a directory as root:other 750 they wouldn't see any information about it.

    DIS-89

    Store all error messages in a resource file

    Will ease standardization and translation issues.

    DIS-291

    OSS Discovery finds OSS contained in war file

    It is not uncommon for open source packages to be included in war files for use in production environments. Discovery should "look inside" these archives, treating the archive as if it were a directory to scan.

    DIS-292

    OSS Discovery finds OSS contained in ear file

    It is not uncommon for open source packages to be included in ear files for use in production environments. Discovery should "look inside" these archives, treating the archive as if it were a directory to scan.

    DIS-293

    OSS Discovery finds OSS contained in zip file

    It is not uncommon for open source packages to be included in zip files. OSS Discovery should "look inside" these archives, treating the archive as if it were a directory to scan.

    DIS-294

    OSS Discovery finds OSS contained in tar file

    It is not uncommon for open source packages to be included in tar files. OSS Discovery should "look inside" these archives, treating the archive as if it were a directory to scan.

    DIS-249

    Throttle scanner

    When a user runs a scan on a production machine, she does not want the scanner to take all system resources. We should provide her with a parameter that will throttle the max amount of system resources that the scanner will consume. Every x number of files, pause for y number of seconds. This should be configurable, but have reasonable defaults. Functionality must be documented in users guide.

    DIS-296

    User wants to find only GPL licensed software

    User may want to locate only open source software with a given license type. We should allow her to specify which license types she is interested in, and only report those found packages which are licensed under the given licenses.

    DIS-471

    Package OSS Discovery with Ruby

    Package with Ruby as a convenience to users.


Validating a specific environment.

To achieve a status of 'Validated', as seen in the matrix below, follow these steps:

  • Check out the source code
  • If validating a linux or *nix platform, find the "run-me.sh" scripts in the directories hidden-tests, symlink-tests, permission-tests (all located in app/test/resources/content-cg) and execute them. This sets up specific test conditions that can't be setup with a simple svn checkout.

  • Run the same test suite that the Continuous Integration server runs: ruby ./path/to/ts_test_ci.rb

  • If all tests pass (if there are no failures or errors) then the platform may be considered 'Validated'


Platforms

Below is a list of platforms that we'd like to support with their current status. A status of validated indicates that OSS Discovery unit tests (ts_test_ci.rb) have been successfully run on this platform (no errors or failures). If you have access to one of the platforms which are not yet validated please contribute by validating OSS Discovery on that platform and posting the unit test results to the Developer Mailing List.
