Hi Richard, Thank you for considering GPL -> GFDL compatibility.
In the meantime you write: On Sat 30 Apr 2011 23:04, Richard Stallman <[email protected]> writes: > Is there a program that can look at the version history diffs and see > which revisions affected the code that occupies a certain range of > lines in the current version? It is an interesting question. One could use gtk-doc itself to identify the lines that contain docstrings, and then vc-annotate to identify the revisions that introduced those lines. However I do not know how to reliably trace authors back in history. One can use heuristics from vc-annotate-revision-previous-to-line; but probably the most accurate way would be to do a set union on the authors of all lines within docstring extents of all revisions in the repository. I do not know of any existing software to do this, but something could be hacked together with either gtk-doc or the regexps that it uses, and git. I do not think I will have time to do this, however. Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
