[Bug 4330] New: Copyright statements out of date
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4330 Summary: Copyright statements out of date Product: Koha Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: gmcharlt@gmail.com ReportedBy: lars@catalyst.net.nz Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: --- Many files in the Koha source tree have copyright statements that have years from, say, 2000-2002, but which have definitely been modified since. This makes it harder to keep track of who own the copyright for Koha. It would be good to get the copyright statements updated, and to inflict procedures that keep them updated in the future. The first part will require a lot of manual work, I am sure. For the second, it would be feasible to write a little helper script that aids the release manager by checking that a patch updates the Copyright statement, both owner and year. (I had to pick a component, and there was no suitable one, so I picked one essentially by random. Sorry.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4330 --- Comment #1 from Lars Wirzenius <lars@catalyst.net.nz> 2010-04-27 22:09:00 --- A reasonable first step would be to write a script that data mines git for useful information, and makes a list that lists for each month the names and authors of each commit, and the files they have touched. That list can then be manually processed to add information of who should be the copyright holder for each author for each month: the author themselves, or their employer or customer? Then another script can take the adjusted list and check that each file has the right copyright statements. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
