- Steps to update the SPDX License List on the spdx.org website:
-
- 1. Download the current version of the SPDX licenses into a local directory (if you already have a git clone on your local machine,
- that directory may be referenced).
- 2. Create an output directory for the output files from the tool. Note: do NOT create this output directory as a subdirectory of your
- local git repository - we don't want output files stored in the Git repo.
- 3. Run the SPDX workgroup tool generateRdfaLicenses using the command:
- java -jar spdx-tools.jar LicenseRDFAGenerator spreadsheet.xls outputDirectory [version] [releasedate]
- where spreadsheet.xls is the excel version of the SPDX license list downloaded in step 1 and outputDirectory is the path the the directory you
- created in step 2. If [version] and/or [releasedate] are specified, they will override the values in the spreadsheet (not reccomended).
- 4. Review the console output for any errors - any slight variation in the spreadsheet columns will cause an error.
- 5. Review the output in the created in the build output directory
- 6. Create an archive file from the build folder named htmlfiles-vx.xx where x.xx is the version number of the license list.
- 7. SFTP the archive file up to the Linux foundation server php1.linuxfoundation.org
- 8. Log into the Linux Foundation server
- 9. Create a new subdirectory in the ~/licenseArchive directory with the format mm-dd-yyyy where mm is the month, dd is the day, and yyyy
- is the year the files were uploaded.
- 10. Unarchive the uploaded file in the subdirectory created in step 9.
- 11. Backup the current files by replacing the files in the ~/backup folder with the files in ~/www/spdx/content/licenses.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT do a recursive copy, only copy the files and do NOT copy any subdirectories.
- 12. Create a new subdirectory ~/www/spdx/content/licenses/archive/archived_ll_vx.xx where x.xx is the version of the PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED
- license list being replaced.
- 13. Copy the files from ~/backup to the subdirectory created in step 11
- 14. Edit the file ~/www/spdx/content/licenses/archive/archived_ll_vx.xx/index.html. Add the line
- "<p style="color: #FA0207;"><strong>THIS IS NOT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE SPDX LICENSE LIST. PLEASE USE THE CURRENT VERSION, LOCATED AT: <a href="http://spdx.org/licenses/">http://spdx.org/licenses/</a></p>"
- immediately prior to the line "<h1>SPDX License List</h1>"
- 15. Copy the files from the subdirectory created in steps 9 and 10 to ~/www/spdx/content/licenses
- 16. In the web browser, clear the browser cache and test the licenses at http://spdx.org/licenses
- 17. If there are any problems, copy the files from the backup back to ~/www/spdx/content/licenses
