Public bug reported: Right now, we update copyright headers haphazardly. But it should be easy to automate.
A line like this should get all the files in bzr that updated this year: bzr status --short --versioned -r date:2016-01-01.. | grep -v ^-D | grep -v '^R ' Then we use one of the various copyright update tools in the archive to check/update those files. (Something like copyright-update, licensecheck, license-reconcile, or licensing. I haven't surveyed them for which is best for us.) So we could add a test for this and a convenience script to automatically update the files that are out of date. ** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592395 Title: Add test to notice when copyrights need updating Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Right now, we update copyright headers haphazardly.
