Copyright dates updated

Copyright dates updated

[Alan Modra]

Since we are soon to be making a release, I dug through cvs logs to
update copyright dates.  Previous attempts to get the dates right have
rummaged through ChangeLog files, which fails on incorrectly spelled
files or entries such as
	* Many files: Changes to avoid gcc warnings
So there were rather more updates than I expected.  I used this script
to pull the info out of cvs:

for z in `find . -name CVS -prune -o -type f \! -name \*~ \! -name .\#\* \! -name ChangeLog\* -print`
do
  echo $z; cvs log $z | sed -n -e '/^revision [^\.]*\.[^\.]*$/ {
n
s,date: \([^/]*\).*,\1,
h
n
/^branches:/ n
/copyright/ b
/Initial revision/ b
/^[Mm]erge / b
g
p
}' | uniq > /tmp/z

Then I ran the following (or variations thereof to cope with generated
files, BSD copyright etc.) to find me the files that needed editing.

while read x; do if test ${x%%/*} = .; then f=$x; else grep -q $x $f || echo $f; fi; done < /tmp/z | uniq | xargs grep -l Copyright

The actual updates were done by hand, since I didn't trust a fully
automated edit.

As someone pointer out to me privately, I somehow managed to trim the
last "done" from the script when posting.  Since the idea of posting was
was to make it easy for other people to do similar tricks, here it is
again.

for z in `find . -name CVS -prune -o -type f \! -name \*~ \! -name .\#\* \! -name ChangeLog\* -print`
do
  echo $z; cvs log $z | sed -n -e '/^revision [^\.]*\.[^\.]*$/ {
n
s,date: \([^/]*\).*,\1,

/^branches:/ n
/copyright/ b

/^[Mm]erge / b

p
}' | uniq
