This was a local hack to work around a limitation in update-copyright.
But the limitation is now OBE, because the copyright statements should
now always fit on a single line, thanks to the new policy of using
one single year range in the copyright notice.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (MULTILINE_COMMENT_PREFIXES): Delete.
(update_files): Do not set MULTILINE_COMMENT_PREFIXES
environment variable before calling update-copyright.
... and update our copyright.py script to set environment variable
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS to '2' instead of '1'. This tells
the script to collapse all years into one single interval.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gnulib/extra/update-copyright: Update to the latest from
gnulib's git repository.
* copyright.py: Set UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS environment
variable to 2 instead of 1.
This patch now retires the old copyright.sh script which was using
emacs to perform the copyright update. It also completely rewrite
copyright.py to call update-copyright with the appropriate list
of files.
In addition to calling update-copyright, the new script also performs
a sanity-check on all the files that update-copyright could not update,
and sees whether the file might contain a copyright notice that
the script could not decipher.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.sh: Delete.
* copyright.py: Rewrite.
