apologies, i didn't find this thread until i talked on #debian-devel today, so um... i wrote my own :) http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/contrib/copyright_check.py?view=log
pyjamas has 2,000 files, from a wide range of projects and sources: (fckeditor, python, random win32 mailing lists to name a few)) i sure as s**t wasn't going to check them manually. so i wrote copyright_check.py it's designed to match the debian/copyright file with the files that it finds in the "Files: " sections, looking for their copyright notices (as best can be found), then doing fuzzy-matching on the authors listed in the debian/copyright sections and those *actually* found in the files. [licensecheck would be a nice-to-have addition to the mix]. somehow, despite my boolean-logic dyslexia, i think i managed to print out only those copyright holders found _not_ listed in the debian/copyright file. there are limitations (listed at the top of the file) but copyright_check.py even managed to find the copyright holders listed in some .gif files. anyway - i'm happy to use this for pyjamas: it's made available to anyone else who might want to do something with it. l. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/DEP-5%3A-an-example-parser%2C-choice-of-syntax-for-Files%3A-tp25428186p25530132.html Sent from the Debian Devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
