Hi Trafodion Developers, I'm looking into integrating the updateCopyright.py script with the Trafodion build. Here's the idea: In the core Makefile, I'll add a check copyrights step. In developer builds, this step will do a "git status" command to find any files you've changed or added, and check the copyrights on those. (In Jenkins builds, it will do a different command to find changed files and check those.)
I have a design choice: In developer builds, I could have the script update copyrights automatically. Or I could just have it check, and if it finds any that need updating, it fails the build. (Listing the set of files that need updating, of course.) You could then run the script manually with the "update" option on. (In Jenkins builds, though, it would always run with the update option off. If you get a failure there you probably want to look at it to see what's up.) I thought I would ask you which choice you prefer. Please vote "Yes" if you'd like developer builds to update copyrights automatically. Please vote "No" if you'd prefer the build to fail instead, and let you update the copyrights yourself (for example, by running the script yourself with the update option on). Please vote "Maybe" if you have another idea. And of course tell me what the idea is. Some arguments to think about. In favor of "Yes": This setting potentially frees you from a task that some find annoying today. (Though if you forget to add your new files before running a build, the check would not find those. Or if you are in the (bad) habit of committing your files before you do a build, again, the script would not find your changed files.) In favor of "No": You might want to see what files need updating. You might have accidentally touched a file that you didn't intend to, for example. Please reply by close of business on Monday, March 23. Thanks! Dave
