Description Ralph Seichter 2018-11-11 14:11:52 UTC

https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html states that the two-line-header "must be an exact copy of the contents of header.txt in the top directory of the Gentoo repository". However, the quoted text shows "Copyright 1999-2018 Gentoo Foundation" while https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/header.txt has been changed to "Copyright 1999-2018 Gentoo Authors".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compare developer manual article with Git repository content (see URLs in description field).
2. Observe content discrepancy.
Actual Results:  
Contents don't match.

Expected Results:  
Contents should match.
