Description Beth Flanagan 2011-11-21 09:51:48 UTC
Stage Three - Manifest:

    * As we do_rootfs we should:
          o Check to see if the package has an SPDX meta-data file.
                + If it does, use it.
                + If it doesn't, generate one but mark it as automatically generated and not an official spdx file. 
          o Gather up spdx files into a work dir 
    * Once the image is finished gather up all the spdx licenses and create an spdx manifest for the image
    * Once the image is finished gather up all the spdx licenses and create a raw text manifest for the image

As defined in Test Plan, QA won't test license related feature.
Comment 2 Beth Flanagan 2012-03-22 01:33:22 UTC
There is a bit of work that needs to occur around this to automatically generate an SPDX manfiest for an image. Work continues on this. This won't make M4
