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. It can be used to create references into the particular O repository on Github as exemplified here.
Find out whether a particular version of a software package is supported and has already been curated
For this purpose a special Web script is provided at the O 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
angular/version-15.1.0 angular/version-15.2.2 angular/version-16.0.1 angular/version-16.1.2
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 O Github package repository at https://github.com/Open-Source-Compliance/package-analysis/tree/main/analysed-packages/ such as, for example,
Call the Web script from command line
Checkout any versions
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
Search for a particular version
wget -qO - https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?angular | grep 15.2.2 angular/version-15.2.2
Web interface to immediately run the above Web script from this page and provide links to the found repositories
Look for other software packages that may have already been curated at O 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 O resources such as disclosure documents or list of licenses in use.
