Script to run multiple ORT steps in one call

[NicolasToussaint]

We (with @woznik) wrote a script to run multiple ORT steps in one call, to make producing ORT reports super easy from CI/CD.

There are 5 hard coded profiles, that will run different steps and exit, automatically reusing previous report file to feed the next step. For example, profile LICENSING will run analysis, scan and report steps.

The script embeds other features that we needed.

I guess the "hard coded" part is not ideal, but it wouldn't be hard to read a Json configuration to that anyone could create their own profiles.

Before I go into this, I would love to get feedback to know if that feature would be of any interest as a contribution to the ORT project ?

Current script is here: https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/ort/blob/main-with-profiles/scripts/run-profiles.sh (with adapted docker run script)

Hi @NicolasToussaint, thanks for sharing what you've done!

To give you an overview, we currently have

• the ORT helper-clihttps://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort/tree/main/helper-cli (orth)
• the orthw wrapper for orth
  • in the original shell script version
  • in the new Python version
• scripts that come with CI integrations like for GitLab

My simple fear is that adding yet more scripts creates too much confusion for our users what to use. Do you see a chance for consolidating your work with any of the above?
