From 33f45255ee45479a39c9e913223ddbb17d602aa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillem Jover Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:58:03 +0100 Subject: Move copyright information from --version output to file comment headers Having to keep this information twice is error-prone as it easily gets out of sync. Having to translate it is bothersome. It's not consistent across dpkg tools, some do print it some don't. It's currently not accurate, as the output would need to include the holders for all files that end up being part of the binary. And listing it in the --versions output is visually annoying and the wrong place. Just keep this where it belongs, at the file comment headers, above the license information. --- scripts/dpkg-source.pl | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'scripts/dpkg-source.pl') diff --git a/scripts/dpkg-source.pl b/scripts/dpkg-source.pl index 1b90491dd..881d5219d 100755 --- a/scripts/dpkg-source.pl +++ b/scripts/dpkg-source.pl @@ -454,11 +454,6 @@ sub setopmode { sub version { printf _g("Debian %s version %s.\n"), $progname, $version; - print _g(" -Copyright (C) 1996 Ian Jackson -Copyright (C) 1997 Klee Dienes -Copyright (C) 2008 Raphael Hertzog"); - print _g(" This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or later for copying conditions.
