FOSSology

This is the FOSSology backlog, or list of all desired but unimplemented features that need to be prioritized and developed over time. It is dynamic and will be updated frequently.

Ongoing Team Activities

Keep build running successfully
Community support - Users (emails, help installations, etc) - Community presentations (Bruno, Martin, etc) - Fossology.org (process, ownership for interfacing with OSU/OSL) - Community development (incorporating contributors, bringing people in, opportunities on website, etc.
Performance improvements (repository, delagent, …)

Completed Iterations¶

Completed Tasks (May 8-21, 2012)
Task	Owner	Estimate	Notes
Ubuntu Developer Summit: - Manage the HP table, make introductions, make connections with Ubuntu community & Canonical	Mary	5	Done - good conference
Add more disk space -- it is a pressing concern. - There is enough disk left to last about 2-3 weeks, so it needs to be addressed ASAP. - Done means each of the agents has a 1TB (or larger) disk, preserving all of its existing data. - This is a straightforward task of creating new virtual disks on the EVA and transferring the old contents to the new disks. Dan should be able to do this with all systems remaining on-line.	Dan	1	- Dan has added 2 TB disks to all agents and re-synched - Will finish once fo.usa is updated so the system is only down once
Transition Mark's tasks to Dan to ensure Dan understands process - This is difficult to measure; the outcome is "fuzzy". For the first iteration, Dan would like to get a solid understanding of the existing test harnesses, test cases, test coverage, build systems, continuous integration systems, configuration management, package configuration, packaging automation, and existing documentation for each of these. - Dan would also like to make sure that he has all the necessary login permissions and memberships needed to participate in the project. - Done means have a drawing (literally) of the existing pieces of the continuous integration systems and how they fit together and can explain each piece (this can then be used in the next iteration to identify gaps and misunderstandings); be added or re-added to all mailing lists and other project resources needed (svn, wiki, mailing lists, system logins, etc).	Dan	5	- Dan having daily discussions with Mark; understanding better the Jenkins/build/test infrastructure - Dan and Paul synched re: long-term vision and are fully aligned: automation is key to team - Dan has several drawings helping to organize thoughts
Fix 2.0 defects - #1887 - #1893 - #1899 - #1857 - #1875 - #1965 - #1905 - #1911 - #1917	Alex, Vincent	Alex: 3, Vincent: 2, Larry: 1	- All defects are resolved; owners to close them and Bob/Larry to verify them
Validate defect fixes	Bob, Larry	2	Done -- all iteration defects verified and closed
Create packages and tag RC - Done means: Have an updated set of packages and set of notes (possibly not yet complete) on how to create packages.	Vincent with Dan	2	Done RC2 packages created. Vincent will create the packages but Dan will help so he understands how packages are built using ProjectBuilder.
Test validation - Develop final test plan, execute test plan - Done means: all tests run and pass on RC2	Mary: 2, Vincent, Larry, Alex: 3	5	Done http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/20-specific_Test_Suite#Testing-for-RC2
Perform Release Checklist - Done means: all tasks on this page are UPDATED & completed	Mary	1	Updated as we go
Update instructions for installation (single systems, clusters, fossology.usa.hp.com) - Done means: Instructions are accurate, complete and results in a properly tuned/configured working system	Mary	2	Input from Bob & others will be important as they were instrumental in getting fo.usa properly tuned and running. 5/21 update: Started updates to INSTALL doc (postgres & kernel sections). Started capturing FO.usa changes (bucketpools & apache config) .
Increase the number of automated unit and functional tests - Package Agent (Vincent) - Upload from server, url (Larry)	Team	Vincent: 3, Larry: 3	larry: done, found a bug #2025, after #2025 is fixed, revise the tests are needed. Vincent: Done, added more unit test case for pkgagent.
Total Points		35/53

Completed Tasks (May 22-June 4, 2012)
Task	Owner	Estimate	Notes
Fix ununpack failure on fossology.usa	Bob	1	Done. The Ubuntu distro analysis finished.
Fix unit test failures	Vincent, Larry	1.5	Done. larry: 1 day, fixed unit test failures; 0.5 day, fixed bug #2043(wait for close) vincent: verified bug#2043 closed
Tag RC3 and create packages	Vincent/Dan	1	Done. Re-tag RC3 and new packages created.
Test RC1+ to RC3 upgrade path	Mary	2	Done (5/25 on pigwidgeon)
Test RC3 -- see the RC3 test plan(including regression testing the agents)	Mary/Vincent/Larry	13	Overestimated, Done in 2 (5/26-27 on pigwidgeon & fo.usa)
Update fossology.usa with new RC and update disks - Done means: fossology.usa is upgraded and running with RC3.	Mary	1	Done 5/27
Move 2.0 branch to trunk - There is no per file merging. The 2.0 branch completely supersedes the trunk	Dan	1	Waiting for official 2.0 release - First create a tag of the trunk prior to doing anything else, i.e. 1.4.something.post.whatever - then move the branches/fossology2.0 contents over to trunk - finally create a 2.0 branch (?) to track any future changes to 2.0
Complete analysis of available tools for FOSS Discovery (OLEX, Sonatype, Antelink, Daniel German’s tool) - Deliverable will be a side-by-side comparision of o JOA as it stands today o OLEX as it stands today o Sonatype as it stands today	Bob	9	Done for this iteration. - Daniel German using tool (JOA) on HP data; fixing math errors as they are found - Looking beyond Java to other languages but hit JOA memory limit. Need to refactor JOA. - bat tool from Armijn also looks good but has the same limitation as DG's JOA - corpus currently limited to debian. - Antelink public API announced 5/21/2012. Have not had a chance to look at it yet. - NextB Dejacode investigation - no OSS discovery, just license admin. - OpenLogic OSS discovery crashed on sample data. - We still have an OLEX server but I've not submitted code to it yet due to learning curve. - Still following up with Sonatype
Check in a set of usable test agents for the Scheduler - test agents will be checked in - scheduler will be working against test agents in sandbox (until we can check scheduler changes in)	Alex	13	Done. The test agents are checked in and working. The sandbox version of the scheduler is working correctly this the new test agents.
Add more automated tests	Larry	5	Done for this iteration. 1. added/modified tests for cp2foss and fossjobs, checked in; 2. added tests for wget_agent(checked in)
Create plan for lab equipment move - create a high-level plan for when/how/what - does not include detailed plans yet	Dan	5
Move Alex to FO pod and switch with PaulW	PaulH	2	Done: PaulW moved May 23, Alex into pod on May 24
