unfortunately, this means that although we can add a 'Copyright' keyword (DONE,) it won't obey keyword expansion rules. therefore, this ticket is stalled until necessary subversion features are implemented. i'll keep it on my watch list, and pick it up again when svn is ready. for future reference in this ticket, here's a link to the subversion ticket related to this issue: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=890 DONE, but disabled, as there's no point now: > > ~ tests will be designed to detect differences between the official > > copyright text (README) and text files in the repository, with an > > exception list for files that do not contain the copyright message > > ~ these tests will be run before every release tests can be found in t/distro/file_metadata.t still TODO: > > ~ a script will be made available to add or otherwise maintain the > > copyright info in all files > > ~jerry
