Namespace requests aren't marked as such in generated issue

Open seabass-labrax opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

As seen in https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/1414, license namespace requests produce GitHub issues which are indistinguishable from those made by normal license requests.

The generated GitHub issues should specify that the request is for a license namespace; for instance, the issue title:

New license request: ae [SPDX-Online-Tools]

could become:

New license namespace request: ae [SPDX-Online-Tools]

@rtgdk @jlovejoy Can you give me a quick guide on how to submit a license namespace request? That will help me to contribute to this.

@BanulaKumarage - given we aren't using this tool b/c we never implemented this option in the SPDX spec, I'm not sure this is worth your time to work on at this point.

@zvr @goneall - thoughts? maybe we should close this for now?

Agree

We could leave this open as the namespace request may (inevitably will IMO) come back.

Got it @jlovejoy. Currently is there a way to make a namespace request?

@BanulaKumarage currently there are no "namespaces" in SPDX, so no point in having requests fir something that does not exist.
