Let's instead repurpose this bugreport to track making _ideal_ DEP5 output with licensecheck. What we have now is this: licensecheck -r --merge-licenses --deb-machine --lines 0 . The plan is to integrate these scripts: cdbs:/usr/lib/cdbs/license-miner cdbs:/usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 When that's done, we will likely have different opinions on what is ideal - how aggressively (and thus slow) licensecheck should scan, and how the DEP-5 output should be laid out (e.g. if same-licensed files by different authors should be grouped or not). Hopefully we can identify some broad patterns that groups of us can agree on being ideal, and licensecheck can offer such "profiles" under a --usage option. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
