This page provides information how to use a Web script to find out whether a particular software package and optionally in a particular version already has been curated. This can be done either by package name or by the name of a binary file that is built by a package. The script can be used to create references into the particular OSSelot repository on Github as exemplified here.
Find out whether a particular version of a software package or a particular binary file is supported and has already been curated
For this purpose a special Web script is provided at the OSSelot Web interface.
Call the Web script from browser
Use the URL https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?packagename to determine whether a particular software package already has been curated and, if so, for which version disclosure information is available. For example https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?angular may return
If a package has not been curated so far, the output of the given URL remains empty. Otherwise, the output can be concatenated to the URL of the OSSelot Github package repository at https://github.com/Open-Source-Compliance/package-analysis/tree/main/analysed-packages/ such as, for example,
Search for packages from which a particular program or library is built
To ensure that the script first searches for packages from which a specific binary file is created, “bin” must be appended to the binary file as the second URL argument and separated by an ampersand, for example to search for the program "chown":
Web interface to immediately run the above described Web script from this page and provide links to the found repositories
Software packages
Look for software packages that may have already been curated at OSSelot and provide links to the related repositories
Programs or libraries
Look for programs or libraries that are created by packages that may have already been curated at OSSelot and provide links to the related repositories
