Using UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_YEAR didn't work for you? Oh, that changes which year is added, but still insists on adding a year. You have a point that it might be nice to have a mode that reformats all existing years without adding any new year. > > 2.

With maint.mk, you run 'make update-copyright', and it will honor $VC_LIST_EXCEPT (which uses either the file .x-update-copyright or the macro exclude_file_name_regexp--update-copyright in cfg.mk) as a way of exempting particular files. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
