@ -5,6 +5,12 @@ rolls around, add that year to every FSF (and AIST) copyright notice.
Do this by running the 'admin/update-copyright' script on a fresh repo
checkout. Inspect the results for plausibility, then commit them.
You should also run the etags test suite in test/manual/etags/. It
will most probably fail because the contents of the test files changes
due to copyright years update, so you need to move each ETAGS and
CTAGS file produced by the test runs into the corresponding
ETAGS.good* and CTAGS.good files, and then commit the new test files.
There's no need to worry about whether an individual file has changed
in a given year - it's sufficient that Emacs as a whole has changed.
