GUI: Script to update copyright year #2368

Open mattclarke opened 7 years ago

mattclarke commented 7 years ago

The licence has a end year in it. It would be great if we could update this automatically.

Wasn’t there a script written to update them all from 2015 to 2016? Or did you have an idea for something fancier?

ISISBuildServer commented 7 years ago

Well in that case someone needs to run it – it is nearly June after all.

Do you mean source code copyright? We only really need to update a copyright date when we edit a file

ISISBuildServer commented 7 years ago

Which currently nobody does. So perhaps we need something to flag that instead?

If we signify it with say @copyright then we can use a git pre-commit hook maybe?

kjwoodsISIS commented 7 years ago

Someone must have done this before ... look it up on Google.

KathrynBaker commented 6 years ago

As we are now in an even more recent year should we be thinking about this one again?

FreddieAkeroyd commented 6 years ago

So long as the script updates the copyright to the year that the file was edited (as per git history) rather than the current year, I'm against just changing the year for no real reason.
