Project Ideas Add Additional Package Parsers

Add additional package metadata + lockfile parsers

[NOTE: this has MOSTLY already been implemented]

The goal of this project is to add additional package metadata and lockfile parsers to scancode-toolkit. We currently handle various package metadata formats, like npm (package.json), but we need to add more parsers to handle more types of packages.

At a minimum, the project would include the handling of:

• Python packages (setup.py, .whl, requirements.txt)
• package-lock.json/npm-shrinkwrap.json
• Ruby Gems (Gemfile, Gemfile.lock)
• Java Jars
• PHP Composer Packages
• Debian .deb files/Yum .rpm files
