Hi Nicodemo,
Hi, I've been looking into using grep as a tool to scan projects that
might not meet the hosting requirements of Savannah.
One other thing I tried was to grep for the word Copyright (in
essentially the same way you write), since nearly every text file should
have it. That was ok, but I never packaged it into anything worth
mentioning.
I was wondering if there has been any advance in using tools to make
the process a little easier.
Not that I am aware of, unfortunately. The people who said they were
going to work on it have not.
I suggest checking in your grep command and the supporting files into
the chkpkglic project on savannah (and make yourself a member). Leo
(the owner) is one of the no-shows for this work, but at least it gives
us a place to put stuff :).
Maybe, for the Blender project which has
7000+ files, I am distracting myself.
Checking 7000 files by hand does not seem reasonable to me, so I don't
think it's just a distraction.
