The purpose of these scripts is to help facilitate open source compliance
-------------------------------------

Brief description of the tools:

* getsrc.sh
	Takes the name of a debian package, creates a Packages
	subdir, and creates a "runit.sh" script within the Packages
	subdir which when run will fetch all of the debian source
	and patchset archives

* getallsrc.sh
	This tool is like getsrc.sh, except it operates on all
	of the installed packages as found with dpkg -l, instead
	of on a package and it's dependencies.

* Packages/runit.sh	(autogenerated)
* Packages/fetchit.sh	(autogenerated)
	Autogenerated from getsrc.sh, downloads all of the debian
	package sources

* extract.sh
	Runs dpkg-source -x on each package in the Packages subdir,
	creating the debian patched source tree.

* mkarchive.sh
	For each patched package source tree in the Packages subdir,
	this tool creates a .tgz in the Archive subdir.

Example Usage:
	mkdir /some/place
	cd /some/place
	getallsrc.sh 
	(cd Packages && ./runit.sh)
	extract.sh
	mkarchive.sh

	NOTE: After running these tools, the Archive subdir is ready
	to be uploaded into Fossology for license identification.

-------------------------------------

* mknotices.sh:
	Given the path to the "Archive" directory created by
	"mkarchive.sh", and a destination folder, this tool takes
	each package in the archive and runs the license extractor
	(see below) on it, and generates a static site which includes:

		* Overview notice about open source compliance
		* A List of Packages, and for each package
			- ability to download the package
			- ability to browse and download the software licenses
			- Ability to browse and download the copyright notices

	Finally, it creates a compressed archive that contains
	everything described above, suitable for making the available
	open source available on a website or by delivering the
	archive to anyone that requests it.

	Example usage:
		mknotices.sh $(pwd)/Archive $(pwd)/Notices

* license-extract-VERSION-HOST:
	Usage: license-extract-VERSION-osx [options] [path] ...

	Version VERSION. © 2014-2015 Exablox Corporation.  All Rights Reserved.

	Options:

	-0=false: Pathnames read from the input file (-i) are \0 delimited (default is \n delimited)
	-continue=false: Continue processing, ignoring errors (default is abort on error)
	-i="": File to read list of files and directories from (use '-' for stdin)
	-ldir="": Directory to save licenses to (default = don't save)
	-o="": File to write HTML formatted licensedb to (default = stdout)
	-quiet=false: Don't output errors (use in conjunction with '-continue')
	-showlic=false: show licenses found during processing
	-style="": Use this css stylesheet (default = embed)
	-verbose=false: Turn on verbose debug output (default is off)
	-version=false: show version and exit


	Description:

	The purpose of this tool is to generate find and emit the licenses
	and copyright notices in a sourcetree for compliance purposes.
	For example, it can be used to help comply with the various open
	source licenses that require attribution in documentation.

	It recursively searches through the given set of files and
	directories, extracts copyright notices (de-duplicating against
	notices it has already seen), and extracts the licenses.

	At the end of the search, it outputs (-o) an HTML document which
	contains per file copyright notices and licenses.  If the -ldir
	option is given in combination with -o, it copies the licenses
	it finds into the specified directory, and makes the licenses
	viewable / downloadable via a link in the HTML document it emits.

	For directories provided on the command line, all contents will
	be recursively scanned.  For more complex searches (such as
	excluding certin file types), a list of files may also be provided
	via a file or stdin.  This makes it easy to build complex query
	pipelines with tools such as find(1).  See the '-i' and '-0'
	command line options for details.
