Program to convert existing licenses and copyrights into SPDX format. http://git.kilabit.info/spdxconv/atom?h=main 2026-01-15T16:25:43Z 2026-01-15T16:25:43Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-15T16:23:48Z urn:sha1:89af20afc873e44a744af7be8e83730c2f24606d spdxconv is a program to insert or convert existing licenses and copyrights into SPDX formats. This program works in tandem with [REUSE software](https://reuse.software). Features: - *REUSE Integration:* Detects annotations from `REUSE.toml`. - *Customizable Defaults:* Set default license identifiers and copyright holders. - *Smart Comments:* Customizable patterns to set comment syntax based on file names. - *Regex Extraction:* Capture existing licenses, years, authors, and contact info using regex. - *Git Integration:* Automatically derives the copyright year from the first commit in git history. 2026-01-15T12:26:39Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-15T12:26:39Z urn:sha1:6b4b38ada45cd5b108ec6ecda680cb32d33542ea The Apply command does not require SCM, so no need to initialize it in New. 2026-01-15T07:39:39Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-15T07:39:39Z urn:sha1:9be132113a261309f73aaddbb83af898a88db385 Use case: on the first scan, the file result in group unknown. User then modify the spdxconv.cfg to add or update the match-file-pattern. The next scan should check again the files in unknown group, in case its match with updated config. 2026-01-14T19:05:21Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-14T19:05:21Z urn:sha1:9a34a0e949a04c4b885314222e46c918a6f9f2dc The done group contain list of file that has been processed. File from group regular and binary that has been modified or added with SPDX format will be moved to here. 2026-01-14T18:44:47Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-14T18:44:47Z urn:sha1:d0cb81287185db0c0fb088da5c35004af315cd42 In the second or next scan, load the existing spdxconv.report and check if the file is already scanned before. If the file is in group regular or binary, skip the scan; otherwise re-scan it again. 2026-01-14T10:00:11Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-14T08:41:31Z urn:sha1:a6f72c549c43ae9d2d74946769221cb3431e9458 During scan, the program will read the REUSE.toml configuration. File that is already annotated inside REUSE.toml will be ignored during scan. 2026-01-13T21:10:44Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-13T14:08:26Z urn:sha1:a2bfa5ec9539f9063e33519e245ae00193783750 If the line that match with pattern on match-copyright does not contains year, or there is no match, try to get the year from the first commit of the file using "git log --follow ..." command. If no commit history or its not using git, use default copyright year from configuration. 2026-01-12T18:51:26Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-12T18:49:26Z urn:sha1:e1a3b3b44a9daeee1aeac6fdea869a4e8458ec4a This method has been replaced when we implement the new Apply function. 2026-01-12T14:22:24Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-12T13:22:20Z urn:sha1:1d6f8cfc60be1ada414ac1a9ce8eb6f61a527a0f The first thing that the program do is to detect which comment string to be used when inserting SPDX identifiers in the file. For each pattern in the "match-file-comment" section, the program will match it with file name to get the comment prefix and suffix to be used later. User can add their own "match-file-comment" section as they like or modify the existing one. The "match-file-comment" can have empty prefix and suffix. That means, if the file name match, it will create new file with ".license" suffix that contains SPDX identifiers only, instead of inserting to the file. 2026-01-11T14:36:20Z Shulhan ms@kilabit.info 2026-01-11T13:36:38Z urn:sha1:e5daeb13cbd446a4fe882fb722d8d3359dd9bef9 For symlink, we ignore for now. COPYING, LICENSE, and LICENSES are common files part of SPDX/reuse specifications. While at it, fix checking if path is ignored by git by passing the relative path instead of base name.
