=head1 NAME

 Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner - Scan files to provide copyright data

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner qw/print_copyright scan_files/;

 # print copyright data on STDOUT
 print_copyright;

 # return a data structure containing copyright information
 my @copyright_data = scan_files();


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This modules scans current package directory to extract copyright and
license information. Information are packed in a way to ease review and
maintenance. Files information is grouped with wildcards ('*') to reduce
the list of files.

=head1 Selecting or ignoring files to scan

By default, the decision whether to scan a file or not is left to L<licensecheck>.

You can change this behavior in file
C<debian/copyright-scan-patterns.yml>. This YAML file can
contain a list of suffixes or patterns to scan or to ignore that are added to licensecheck's list. Any file
that is not scanned or ignored will be shown as "skipped".

The file must have the following structure (all fields are optional
and order does not matter):

 ---
 check :
   suffixes :
     - PL       # check .PL$
     - asm
   pattern:
     - /README$
 ignore :
   suffixes :
     - yml
   pattern :
     - /t/
     - /models/
     - /debian/
     - /Changes

Do not specify the dot with the suffixes. This will be added by the scanner.

=head1 Filling the blanks

Sometimes, upstream coders are not perfect: some source files cannot
be parsed correctly or some legal information is missing.

All scanned files, even without copyright or license will be used. A
warning will be shown for each file with missing information.

Instead of patching upstream source files to fill the blank, you can
specify the missing information in a special file. This file is
C<debian/fill.copyright.blanks.yml>. It should contain a "mapping"
YAML structure (i.e. a hash), where the key is a Perl pattern used to
match a path. 

If the source of the package contains a lot of files without legal
information, you may need to specify there information for a whole
directory (See the C</src> dir in the example below).

For instance:

 ---
 debian:
   copyright: 2015, Marcel
   license: Expat
 src/:
   copyright: 2016. Joe
   license: Expat
 share/pkgs/openSUSE/systemd/onedsetup:
   copyright: 2015, Marcel
 share/vendor/ruby/gems/rbvmomi/lib/rbvmomi.*\.rb:
   license: Expat
 .*/NOTICE:
   skip: 1
 share/websockify/:
   license: LGPL-2
 src/sunstone/:
   license: Apache-2.0
 src/garbled/:
   'override-copyright': 2016 Marcel Mézigue

Patterns are matched from the beginning a
path. I.e. C<share/websockify/> pattern will match
C<share/websockify/foo.rb> but will not match
C<web/share/websockify/foo.rb>.

Patterns are tried in reversed sorted order. I.e. the data attached to
more specific path (e.g. C<3rdparty/foo/blah.c>) are applied before
more generic patterns (e.g. C<3rdparty/foo/>

The C<license> key must contain a license short name as returned by
C<license_check>.

When C<skip> is true, the file is skipped like a file without any
information.

The C<override-copyright> and C<override-license> keys can be used to
ignore the copyright information coming from the source and provide
the correct information. Use this as last resort for instance when the
encoding of the owner is not ascii or utf-8 or when the license data
is corrupted. Note that a warning will be shown each time an override
key is used.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 print_copyright

Print copyright information on STDOUT like L<scan-copyrights>.

=head2 scan_files ( %args )

Return a data structure with copyright and license information.

The structure is a list of list:

 [
   [
     [ path1 ,path2, ...],
     copyright,
     license_short_name
   ],
   ...
 ]

Example:

 [
  [
    [ '*' ],
    '1994-2001, by Frank Pilhofer.',
    'GPL-2+'
  ],
  [
    [ 'pan/*' ],
    '2002-2006, Charles Kerr <charles@rebelbase.com>',
    'GPL-2'
  ],
  [
    [
      'pan/data/parts.cc',
      'pan/data/parts.h'
    ],
    '2002-2007, Charles Kerr <charles@rebelbase.com>',
    'GPL-2'
  ],
 ]

Parameters in C<%args>:

=over

=item quiet

set to 1 to suppress progress messages. Should be used only in tests.

=back


=head1 Encoding

The output of L<licensecheck> is expected to be utf-8. Which means
that the source files scanned by L<licensecheck> should also be
encoded in utf-8. In practice, this will impact only copyright owner
name which may be garbled if comments are not encoded in utf-8.

=head1 BUGS

Extracting license and copyright data from unstructured comments is not reliable.
User must check manually the files when no copyright info is found or when the
license is unknown.

Source files are assumed to be utf8 (or ascii). Using files with other encoding
will lead to garbled names of copyright owner. In this case, you can:

=over

=item *

Path source files to use utf-8 encoding.

=item *

Use the "fill copyright blank" mechanism described above with
C<copyright-override> to provide an owner name with the correct
encoding.

=item *

File a bug against licensecheck of devscript package to find a better solution.
