The copyright notice still displayed: 2006 - 2014. I changed the version method to 2006 - 2015
This needs to be part of a larger patch that changes all our copyright years to the correct range.
We go through this seemingly silly exercise every year. Is it truly necessary?
AFAIK, it does have meaning (extends the lifetime of the copyright, which expires N years after that date) but nothing stops you from treating the entire project as one work and only having a top-level license + copyright headers.
Yeah, sorry I wasn't clear here - I meant the "update every file" exercise, not the "we should extend the copyright dates somewhere" bit.
At a minimum, alpm.h and alpm_list.h need a full copyright. I'd prefer that we added a make rule that does it automatically - many of the GNU toolchain software have done this. Allan
