* Package name : php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer Version : 3.7.2 Upstream Author : Greg Sherwood <sq...@squiz.net> * URL : https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: PHP Section : php Description: PHP coding standard enforcement tool This package provides PHP_CodeSniffer, a set of two PHP scripts that tokenize PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of defined coding standards. The main `phpcs` script detects violations, while `phpcbf` automatically corrects coding standard violations. PHP_CodeSniffer is an essential development tool that ensures code remains clean and consistent by enforcing coding standards like PSR-12, PEAR, and custom standards. It helps maintain code quality and consistency across development teams. Rationale: This package is required as a dependency for FOSSology, an open source license compliance system. FOSSology uses PHP-based tools for source code analysis and license detection, which need comprehensive code quality tools to ensure maintainable and consistent codebase. The php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer package is essential for: - Enforcing coding standards in FOSSology's PHP components - Maintaining code quality and consistency across the codebase - Automated code style checking and fixing - Supporting development workflow with coding standard compliance - Ensuring readable and maintainable code for license detection algorithms - Integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated code quality checks Technical Details: - Requires PHP >= 5.4.0 - Provides two command-line tools: phpcs and phpcbf - Supports multiple coding standards (PSR-12, PEAR, custom) - Tokenizes PHP, JavaScript, and CSS files - Includes extensive rule sets for various coding standards - BSD-3-Clause licensed for maximum compatibility - Provides both library and executable components Dependencies: - php (>= 5.4.0) - php-ext-tokenizer - php-ext-xmlwriter - php-ext-simplexml - Build dependencies: phpunit The package will be maintained by Ahmed Gamal <ahmed.gamal9...@gmail.com> as part of the FOSSology packaging effort. -- Ahmed Gamal FOSSology Debian Packaging Team
