I would merge this, but CI is failing with:

Ignoring warning 'Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1-or-later'
Ignoring warning 'Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1'
make: *** [Makefile:30: validate-canonical-match] Error 64

Just FYI - I improved the error messages in the publisher to point out exactly which warnings are not being ignored and @swinslow has improved the input to the expected warnings. Once I publish the next release and update the CI - these will be easier to diagnose.

@goneall would you mind releasing the new version of LicenseListPublisher? I wanted to build it locally, but I got errors that are beyond my knowledge. And I would like to unblock this PR.

This is on my radar as well.

I'd like to merge in spdx/LicenseListPublisher#216 before the next release - @xsuchy can you confirm it is OK to switch to the JSON warnings format? Once confirmed, I'll merge that in, update the dependencies and roll out a new release.

I do not have any automation attached to this. And I, as a human, can read JSON too :) So fine with me.

+1 from my side as well to merge spdx/LicenseListPublisher#216, I just replied there also.

[swinslow]

I forgot I need to update #2772 first to align with the changes in spdx/LicenseListPublisher#216. Ugh, sorry. Will try to do so tomorrow on my way back from the conference...

Still errors with:

 The following warning(s) were identified:
	Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1+
	Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1-or-later
	Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1
Completed processing licenses
Ignoring warning 'Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1-or-later'
Ignoring warning 'Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1'

The problematic part is Duplicates licenses: LGPL-2.1-only, LGPL-2.1+.

These are issues introduced with the latest release of the licenselistpublisher.

If the only warning is a duplicate ID of a single license being modified, you can safely merge. It will not cause any subsequent errors after merging.

We could go back to a previous version of the publisher, but we would need to update the warnings file back to the text format.

I'll work on a new publisher release once I'm back from travels in about a week
