What I don't like is the fact that it is removed randomly based on a bug in a script that is made for a different purpose. Right. I'd consider that behaviour not a bug, but actually point out that all the examples in documentations that I have found considered the copyright to be stand-alone on a single line with the next line following to carry the All rights reserved remark. Although the tool screws up, the output of the tool really is intended to be reviewed by the person who does the checkin. I think a change like that should be based on an official policy change, including new coding style guidelines: http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/codingstyle/python-style.html#license-statement-module-docstring I'd move this off from the topic of the tool being broken: if either of you would like to follow up on removing the all rights reserved from the header, then please acknowledge that and I'll pick it up (probably that needs to go to the foundation?!? I bet some lawyer wanted that phrase to be in there originally and I guess we have to ask the ZF board whether that part of the policy can be changed.)

Hi there, Hanno Schlichting wrote: I've seen lots of checkins recently stating Comply with repository policy. I haven't seen any announcement of a new official repository policy. Have I missed it? Tres explained that very well, I think. I also did some comply-with-repos-policy checkins based on zope.repositorypolicy complaints and stumbled about one point: z.repositorypolicy requires to set the `author` field in setup.py to read ``Zope Foundation and Contributors``. While this is possibly a valid value for that field, I wonder why you cannot also set individual authors or groups of them. The problem: - Is the Zope Foundation really the author of the works checked in (in the juridical sense) or shouldn't we make a difference between an author (like Mark Twain) and a copyright holder (like the Mark Twain Foundation) stated in COPYRIGHT.txt? - Sometimes it is simply handy to know whom to ask directly when some problem occurs with a package. Yes, one can lookup the SVN history, but it's often much quicker to simply look in setup.py or on PyPI.

[Zope-dev] Comply with repository policy ?
Hi. I've seen lots of checkins recently stating Comply with repository policy. I haven't seen any announcement of a new official repository policy. Have I missed it? I'd be especially interested who exactly is responsible for changing code so that it complies with the new policy. How much of the initial work is automated and taken care of by some small group of people and what is left to the individual package maintainers? How are packages without maintainers handled? What about trunk vs. old branches?

How much of the initial work is automated and taken care of by some small group of people and what is left to the individual package maintainers? How are packages without maintainers handled? What about trunk vs. old branches? The testing for compliance and the automated part of the fixups are maintained in the 'zope.repositorypolicy' project: http://svn.zope.org/zope.repositorypolicy/trunk There is a nightly test run which checks out all top-level projects and verifies conformance (using the checker) against each projects trunk and release branches. Projects which flunk that check show up on the shame list mailed to the zope-tests test aggregator, e.g.: https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-tests/2010-April/013877.html That script ignores tags (we aren't rewriting history), as well as branches whose names don't look release-like. I have been using the checker / fixer to get projects I feel responsibility for into complieance with the policy. The process normally involves: - Check out the project (easiest to do the whole tree). $ svn co $ZSVN/myproject - In the trunk and each release branch: o Run the checker script, e.g.:: $ cd myproject/trunk $ /path/to/zrp/bin/zope-org-check-project . ... list of errors ... o Run the automated fixups:: $ /path/to/zrp/bin/zope-org-fix-project . ... list of automated fixups ... o Find and fix anything the automated fixer couldn't handle. I nearly always have to fix up the 'author' in setup.py, for instance.: # Repeat until the checker runs clean $ /path/to/zrp/bin/zope-org-check-project . ... errors which couldn't be fixed automatically ... $ gvim setup.py # fix 'author', etc. o Add any files created by the fixer:: $ svn add LICENSE.txt COPYRIGHT.txt Repeat in each of the release branches, then check it all in: $ cd .. $ svn commit -m Comply with repository policy. My theory is that I will clean up the stuff I care about, and others will clean up the stuff they care about. The stuff which stays on the shame list can be identified cleanly as unmaintained. We can figure out what to do about them after some time period has elapsed. Note that I pulled one project (Zelenium) out of the repository altogether, because it contained third-party code I couldn't relicense to the ZPL: I moved its trunk over to Launchpad, and left only a stub behind in the zope.org SVN.
