Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] checklicenses.py

Let me also stress that only doc/*.pod and some airpcap files have the hacky soon-to-be-removed exception. These were grandfathered in. Everything else will still cause hard builbot failures.

So is the "checklicense tool" now the same between the Petri-Dish and

"pass" (otherwise all Petri-Dish runs will fail)?

Yes, that's the reason.

If so, I prefer the way it used  to be - master buildbot (legitimately)
failing, but Petri-Dish being more lenient (even if it was
unintentional).

OK, but PD was never lenient. The difference is that the PD
licensecheck.pl used to match fewer files.

The intent of the original email and my efforts was to
only remove errors for files that had a legitimate reason not to have
license template.  I think "all files without an extension" is a little
too generous an exception (although I do appreciate all the work Jo�o
did) .  Guy nicely outlined the remaining issues and I don't want those
to get lost in the shuffle because the buildbot appears as if its
"passing".

The overly generous situation was the extant situation before the recent
buildbot upgrades to Ubuntu 16.04. But to eliminate is a one line change
-- see the diff I mailed.

the few scripts that don't have an extension an extension, such as .sh
for shell scripts, so that we check them for a license? Most of our
shell scripts have a .sh extension, although that's not necessarily the
right answer for shell scripts to be run as commands. It means we aren't
checking files without an extension. I removed that match from the
Debian script as unworkable for our purposes, made worse by the fact
that the check licenses step is being run on an unclean build directory
by PD. I think your suggestion to add an .sh extension for files we wish
to include would be best. But otherwise we should feel free to tailor
checklicenses.py + licensecheck.pl in the tools dir to suit our needs.
