My test suite has mostly been coreutils and bison (plus a few handwritten tests for quicker testing). I'll be glad to put something more formal together. I'm a little busy at the moment, and I have to study how gnulib does testing, but I'll try to post soon. Also, I posted some major changes to update-copyright here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-07/msg00135.html I'll wait for a response to that so I know what to test. > For example I note that > $ build-aux/update-copyright < lib/gc-gnulib.c > gives a warning. That doesn't contain an FSF copyright, so an update-copyright makefile target should probably just exclude it. However, it shouldn't be tough to parameterize update-copyright to support other copyright holders if that's what we want.
