given:

  • Two ScanCode versions
  • database with scan results
  • package configurations / curations

output a table with rows per package showing:

  • diff in offending licenses and
  • diff in the packages clearance state

scope:

  • limited to packages / dependencies

use cases:

  1. Understand the impact of switching between two ScanCode versions on the scan results / rule violations
  2. Identify which preparations to make when migrating between the given ScanCode versions, e.g. fix scan issues beforehand, classify upcoming new / unclassified licenses
  3. Decide whether the old detection capabilities are still good enough to keep on using or not, e.g. if the lack of an important detection capability gets discovered / known that may lead to the requirement of not using that old version anymore.
