No, The Skara PR in question isn't proposing to do this. Rather it is checking that _if_ the Copyright header is updated, it is syntactically correct.

It would be an item for further discussion to have Skara actually get into the business of whether the copyright header should be updated and what the copyright year(s) should be. I personally think Skara shouldn't do that, but it is a topic that might be worth discussing for a future Enhancement.

Bleh, ignore my comment. I didn't realize the PR#1702 you referenced is already proposing doing this!

    Thanks for working on this... something of a thankless task :)

    I'm sure you've considered this but I'll ask anyway. Would it make
    (more or less) sense to try and enforce the policy on the front-end?

    By that I mean adding another checkbox requirement to skara's
    handling of PR's: "🔲 Change must update copyright dates where
    applicable"

    The check could start out being conservative:

      * Only applies to files with certain extensions and/or matching
        some filter list
      * Only applies to files containing a recognizable copyright text
        line

        I felt responsibility for the .github files, and wanted to

        So I ran a more comprehensive script, and discovered a *lot*
        more files that needed updating. Like a thousand or so...

        I have opened a series of issues starting at
        https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345793 and going up to
        https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345805 to update these
        headers.

        I agree, this should be automated. We're starting to slowly
        get there, see https://github.com/openjdk/skara/pull/1702 for
        a first step.

        Dumb question...

        It seems like the thing with updating copyright years in
        source files could be better automated. At least, couldn't
        there be a test that fails if you forget?

        FWIW my little updater script says that these files still
        need to be updated to 2024:
