Issues and vetting process

  • Ongoing: Missing copyright statement addition are continuously added
    • To simplify to trace down code contributors, there is a PERL script (tools/copywrite.pl) in the source code which automatically searches all main.c files which are lacking a Copyright statement. It also automatically extracts the known contributors from the local ChangeLog file (which is created on the fly from CVS) and generates a standard header within such main.c file. Manual review is obviously still needed before submitting the updated file to CVS.
