No not quite.  The tool is smart and checks CVS to see when the file was
last modified.  If this time is > the last date in the copyright notice,
the notice is updated.  If the date is fine then it changes nothing.

The tool is picky though and will only update notices from the company you
specify (default is IBM).  So we'll have to do one pass for each company
that has submitted files to CDT.  E.g. I will have to go back and reinvoke
the tool on "Texas Instruments" to cover the stuff that I did while at TI.

Does everyone want to do their own company's files?  I can make a best stab
at the whole thing but it is possible that I'll miss something.  Having
everyone do their own will probably be more foolproof.

Is that the way it is supposed to work?  That is, all files get their
copyright changed regardless of whether they have been modified in 2006?
I know that I have been modifying the copyrights of files that I have
changed since the beginning of the year, but it's probably a good bet
that I missed some...

Subject: [cdt-dev] Copyright updates

Something that came to mind that we should be doing prior to final
release
is running the releng tool on everything to update the copyright dates.
After we declare RC3 I would like to do this, but since this potentially
will touch hundreds of files I would like to reach a consensus as to
when
is the best time to do this.

Will this get in anyone's way if I do this right after RC3 is official?
