[08:51:13] <pombreda> martinus__: ping?

[12:18:13] <pombreda> martinus__: there is also always that other chat channel https://gitter.im/aboutcode-org/discuss

[13:09:17] <martinus__> pombreda: hi ! Yes but I'm an IRC survivor ;) Just wanted to ask, how do you exclude a complete directory with scancode ?

[13:53:09] <pombreda> martinus__: same here :)

[13:53:36] <pombreda> martinus__: scancode --ignore "path/to/directory"

[13:54:33] <martinus__> uhg. I thought I tested that already with no success. will test again

[13:55:01] <pombreda> FWIW, irc.gitter.im means you can also access the gitter channel with an IRC client

[13:55:15] <pombreda> martinus__: let me double check and give you an example

[13:57:39] <pombreda> martinus__: ./scancode --info samples --ignore "samples/JGroups/*" --ignore "samples/arch/*" --ignore "samples/zlib/*" --json-pp -

[13:58:07] <pombreda> you need to provide a glob that applies to the whole path

[13:58:24] <pombreda> (and its need o be quoted to avoid shell expansion

[14:00:04] <pombreda> martinus__: btw, just curious (but you do not have to reply)... what do you use scancode for? and I am also using for some (happy?) user quotes to publish on a revamped doc and website

[14:01:06] <martinus__> pombreda: I'm the sysadmin at OW2.org and we use the tool in replacement for Fossology to find out licenses data within our projects codebase

[14:01:40] <martinus__> Fossology was way too overkill for what we need

[14:02:08] <martinus__> I'm using scancode in a CI pipeline

[14:05:49] <pombreda> martinus__: Foossology license detection is rather inaccurate BTW

[14:08:08] <pombreda> martinus__: if you use in a CI pipeline think of may contributing some settings or scripts? I am looking for something like tat :P

[14:08:08] <pombreda> *may --> may be

[14:14:15] <pombreda> martinus__: anyway, your call... glad you find it useful!

[14:14:47] <martinus__> pombreda: I'm just using a stage in GitLab CI

[14:15:03] <martinus__> that run the cli command

[14:41:01] <pombreda> martinus__: is this public code? how do you deal with license/copyright changes between two commits? do you scan the patches or the whole code tree?
