A few known problems with the build-aux/update-copyright script:
. it doesn't update config.bat and etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.he because
the "Copyright" statement begins in these two files after a prefix
that is more than 5 characters long
. it doesn't update config.bat, msdos/depfiles.bat,
nt/configure.bat, etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.cn, and
etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.he because the "Copyright" statement begins
in these files after a prefix that is more than 5 characters long
. it doesn't update etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.nl and
etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.ro for some reason
. it doesn't update the second Copyright notice, the one that gets
output into PDF and PS, in etc/refcards/ru-refcard.tex
. it doesn't update etc/refcards/gnus-refcard.tex because its
Copyright statement has a non-standard format
. it doesn't update etc/refcards/gnus-refcard.tex and
doc/misc/org.org because their Copyright statements have a
non-standard format
. several README and XPM files under etc/images/, and also
etc/refcards/README, msdos/README, and nt/icons/README aren't
updated either
These files need to be updated by hand.
Next, run "M-x set-copyright" from admin.el, which updates several
copyright notices in the Emacs sources.
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
