I can probably help out with some of the actual PKGBUILD updates, if
you want. Once we get all those updated, we can then bump the pkgver
and go.
Fair enough - the todo's on the dashboard, go nuts. I'm just trying
to decide whether things should be marked 'complete' once the license
is in the PKGBUILD, or once the package, with the new license, is
built and uploaded.
I would say once the package, with the new license, is built and uploaded.
Some of these packages are for stuff that rarely has upstream updates. If
we just fix the PKGBUILD and wait for an upstream update to rebuild, it
might take several months (years?) before the
actual package gets updated with the license. Plus, for some license
(BSD?), not including the licence goes against the license.
