AboutCode global Roadmap

python-inspector Support all package manifests beyond req and setup.py

SCIO: ScanCode.io, pipelines for SCA

Compositition analysis of Deployed binaries

Build pipelines for key tech stacks. For each of these automate the end-to-end analysis of a package binaries mapping it back to it sources and matching it upstream to its PurlDB origin:

  • for Java
  • for JavaScript, CSS
  • for C/C++ ELFs
  • for C/C++ WinPE
  • for C/C++ Mach-O
  • for .Net, C#
  • for Golang
  • for Android apk
  • for Python
  • for Rust
  • for Ruby

Matching pipeline

Build a dedicated pipeline to matching (client side)

Scan TODO/Review app

  • Build an app in SCIO to automate flagging scan items that needs review or attention.
  • Create a UI and backend to organize the scan review.
  • Consider including and merging the "scantext" license detection review app

Pre-built container image(s)

  • Build and publish container images
  • Consider building a single image for CLI deployments
  • Consider publishe the app image for standalone CLI deployments

Package management

  • Adopt the two levels manifests/package instances
  • Refactor dependencies as deps and requirements

Deploy free analysis public server

  • Consider sponsorship from Amazon/Google/Azure

Create and document standard CI/CD integrations

  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • Azure

SCTK: ScanCode Toolkit

License detection quality improvements

  • Include automatic key phrases in license detection rules Use important key phrases for license detection aboutcode-org#2637

  • Add required phrase automatically + unknown detection in licenses plus testing

  • More license detection bugs reported recently

  • Detect summary for all packages, and populate more package fields correctly like copyright/holders

    • We can report the declared license and other licenses in the license summary of a full scan. The primary license is based; next is to do the same across each package found nested in a scanned codebase. And also compute an individual license clarity score for each these.
  • license expression simplify and license expression category

Improve package detection

  • Create synthethic, private packages from non-packaged files based on license and copyright
  • Create simplified purl-only lightweight package detection
  • Evolve model for dependencies towards requirements and true dependencies
  • Track private non-published packages

Primary copyright detection for packages

  • This is closely tied to the primary license detection and should focus on package manifests and key files.
  • Support copyright parsing from all package ecosystems.

Published improved release packagings/bundles/installers

  • Publish smaller wheels with a single focus for easier integration as a library
  • Release self-contained app(s) for ease of use, bundled with a Python and everything on it:
    • extractcode
    • scancode proper
    • packagedcode only
    • licensedcode only
    • cluecode only
  • Adopt Python 3.12
  • Adopt macOS and Linux on ARM

ABCTK: AboutCode Toolkit

  • add support for patterns for docoumented resources
  • add support for exclude for docoumented resources
  • document deployed resource for a development resource

PURLDB: PurlDB

  • purl2all: On demand indexing for all supported package ecosystems
  • purl2sym: Collect source and binary symbols
  • index-time matching to find the true origin
  • implement multi-tier indexing: purl/metadata/archive/files
  • MatchCode matching engine
    • embed a SCIO with a matching pipeline for match a whole codebase at once - expore new endpoint for matching whole codebase
    • support multiple SCIO workers for indexing
    • implement proper ranking of matched code results
    • refactor directory matching to be a pre-matching step to file matching

VCIO: VulnerableCode.io

  • Adopt VulnTotal model throughout
  • Log advisory history
  • Add vulnerable code reachability
  • Add vulnerable code required context/config
  • Add more upstream resources
  • Deploy purlsync public pilot

PURL: purl and vers specs

  • Merge and advertize vers spec.
  • Standardize purl with ECMA
