Bug 835333 – dev-util/pkgdev-0.1.9: wrong copyright year when comitting

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Viorel Munteanu 2022-03-15 11:20:20 UTC]

Hi.

I have an ebuild with this line:

# Copyright 2021 Gentoo Authors

`pkgdev commit` changes it to:

# Copyright 2022 Gentoo Authors

while `repoman commit` changes it to:

# Copyright 2021-2022 Gentoo Authors

I think repoman is right.

Thank you!

I don't think it matters much, either way.

I tested this, and think at least we can call it "confirmed". It's another matter of it being considered "wrong", I think :-)

Anyhow, I opened a PR to add this behaviour: https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgdev/pull/49

It turned out that the copyright year mangling was actually changed between versions 0.1.8 and 0.1.9 (so it was never released). See [0] and [1].
