1. 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.
2. Upload the files from the spdx/license-list-data github repository website folder from the correct tag to a the folder created in step 1
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Copy the files from ~/backup to the subdirectory created in step 4
6. Edit the file ~/www/spdx/content/licenses/archive/archived_ll_vx.xx/index.html. Add the line
"
THIS IS NOT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE SPDX LICENSE LIST.
PLEASE USE THE CURRENT VERSION, LOCATED AT: http://spdx.org/licenses/"
immediately prior to the line "SPDX License List
"
