==Search for curated software packages and files==
=About searching=
A more general search function is implemented as Web script that can be used to create references into the particular OSSelot repository on Github as exemplified [[Disclosure_files|here]].  
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 <span style="font-family: OSSelot-Bold; font-weight: 500; color: #1565af;">OSSelot</span> repository on Github as exemplified [[Disclosure_files|here]].
==Search for licenses==
 
In addition, a special [[Licenses|Web script]] is provided that can be given the name and optionally the version of a software package from which a list of used licenses is created.
==Find out whether a particular version of a software package or a particular binary file is supported and has already been curated==
<html>
<input type="button" onclick="showorhide(this);" value="Show technical background of this functionality" />
<div id="showondemand" style="display: none;">
</html>
For this purpose a special Web script is provided at the <span style="font-family: OSSelot-Bold; font-weight: 500; color: #1565af;">OSSelot</span> Web interface.
 
===Call the Web script from browser===
Use the URL '''''<nowiki>https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?packagename</nowiki>''''' 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
angular/version-15.1.0
angular/version-15.2.2
angular/version-16.0.1
angular/version-16.1.2
angular/version-16.2.0
angular/version-17.1.3
angular/version-19.1.6
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 <span style="font-family: OSSelot-Bold; font-weight: 500; color: #1565af;">OSSelot</span> Github package repository at '''''<nowiki>https://github.com/Open-Source-Compliance/package-analysis/tree/main/analysed-packages/</nowiki>''''' such as, for example,
 
https://github.com/Open-Source-Compliance/package-analysis/tree/main/analysed-packages/angular/version-15.2.2
 
===Call the Web script from command line===
====Checkout any versions of a package====
wget -qO - https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?angular | grep -v '<'
angular/version-15.1.0
angular/version-15.2.2
angular/version-16.0.1
angular/version-16.1.2
angular/version-16.2.0
angular/version-17.1.3
angular/version-19.1.6
 
====Search for a particular version of a package====
wget -qO - https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?angular | grep 15.2.2
angular/version-15.2.2
 
====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":
  wget -qO - "https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?chown&bin" | grep -v '<'
  coreutils/version-9.1
  coreutils/version-9.3

About searching

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

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



Web interfaces to extract particular information

The above Web script may be encapsulated in a shell script to extract particular information from the OSSelot resources such as disclosure documents, individually designed disclosure documents or list of licenses in use.
