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
