Can I generate Scancode Toolkit 31 compatible output from version 32 builds?

Open waynebeaton opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

I've been having trouble finding time/resources to update our system to accommodate the changes in the JSON output introduced with version 32. I'm working to solve that problem, but I've been using version 31 builds in the meantime.

@pombredanne when we chatted late last year, you made a comment in passing that I can configure Scancode Toolkit 32 to generate 31 compatible output. I can't sort out how to make it do that. It's entirely possible that I just misunderstood your comment.

Here's how I'm invoking Scancode Toolkit

./scancode --quiet -n 0 --copyright --license  --license-text --summary --classify \
 --license-score 70 --strip-root --json-pp scancode.json --html scancode.html {target}

Does an option to generate version 31 compatible output exist? If yes, can you provide a pointer?

To be clear, I'm asking about existing behaviour and I will regard you closing this issue with a response of "No" (optionally with some suggestion that I must have been jet-lagged when we spoke) to be a completely reasonable outcome.
