Well, it's taking me longer than expected to come up with this list. I have the list of jars, and which pkgs have them(along with the directories). However, I am finding all upstream locations, and listing the licenses as well, so it's taking me a bit longer. Additionally, my script doesn't differentiate between symlinks and real files(it parses Contents), so I need to investigate packages manually to remove false positives. I'll probably have it done tomorrow evening. ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s: a-- c+++ UL++++ P+ L++++ !E W+ M o+ K- W--- !O M- !V PS-- PE++ Y+ PGP++ t* 5++ X+ tv b+ D++ G e h*! !r z? -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK----- ----BEGIN PGP INFO---- Adam Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Finger Print | KeyID 67 01 42 93 CA 37 FB 1E 63 C9 80 1D 08 CF 84 0A | DE656B05 PGP AD46 C888 F587 F8A3 A6DA 3261 8A2C 7DC2 8BD4 A489 | 8BD4A489 GPG -----END PGP INFO-----
