warp: Yes. Someone on #git has suggested a pre-commit hook.

Not a bad idea I guess

though, I also like beerocracy

alastairp: Yes, that's what I want to achieve. However I almost always forget.

adhawkins: the year in itself isn't terribly important, so it would be fine to only use the new year in new files.
2012-04-26 11701, 2012
adhawkins
Right
2012-04-26 11721, 2012
adhawkins
That's how I've noticed.
2012-04-26 11731, 2012
adhawkins
Added a few files tonight, and remembered to add the new year rather than 2011
2012-04-26 11748, 2012
adhawkins
However I've changed a number of files this week too, and almost certainly haven't made those files say 2011-2012
2012-04-26 11758, 2012
warp
adhawkins: what is important is that every file has appropriate copyright / license notices and that you have a toplevel LICENSE file or something like that.
2012-04-26 11708, 2012
adhawkins
Well, that's all covered.
2012-04-26 11709, 2012
warp
adhawkins: that makes it a lot easier for everyone else to use your project.
2012-04-26 11728, 2012

where everyone is defined as that group of people that care about copyright law.
2012-04-26 11748, 2012
adhawkins
:)
2012-04-26 11721, 2012
adhawkins
Oh well, I guess I'll just try to remember to do it.
2012-04-26 11740, 2012
adhawkins
And maybe write a pre-commit hook to look for 'Copyright xxx' and reject it if it doesn't see the current year.

Hertog: I've just had the same thing happen
2012-04-26 11752, 2012
Hertog
hmm
2012-04-26 11753, 2012
ruaok
a carton install DBD::Pg fixed it
2012-04-26 11757, 2012
ocharles
except your files are automatically under copyright law from point of creation
2012-04-26 11734, 2012
ruaok
ocharles: is that the case in the UK too?
2012-04-26 11737, 2012
Hertog
hmm thanks for the tip ruaok ! Im gonna try it if it doesnt work (I just run rm -rf local/ and rerun carbon install --deployment)
2012-04-26 11742, 2012
ruaok
it is here.
2012-04-26 11725, 2012
ocharles
ruaok: afaiu, yes
2012-04-26 11742, 2012
ruaok
that sucks. :(
2012-04-26 11710, 2012
ocharles
ruaok: huh?
2012-04-26 11727, 2012
ruaok
it sucks that the law is like that. I hate it.
2012-04-26 11740, 2012
ocharles
why?
2012-04-26 11745, 2012
alastairp
ruaok: any country who signed the mumble agreement
2012-04-26 11745, 2012
warp
ocharles: yes, which means no-one has any right to use them unless you give them a license.
2012-04-26 11751, 2012
Hertog
again the errors, so after carbon install --deployment is finishied running, im gonna try carton install DBD::Pg
2012-04-26 11754, 2012
ruaok
it destroys the public domain.
2012-04-26 11705, 2012
ruaok
alastairp: ah. that royally sucks.

si
2012-04-26 11722, 2012
ruaok grumbles
2012-04-26 11726, 2012
alastairp
which is basically everyone
2012-04-26 11728, 2012
warp
ruaok: due to berne copyright law is very similar in most countries.
2012-04-26 11732, 2012
ocharles
but license is not copyright. we already copyright all our files and then relicense them
2012-04-26 11737, 2012
Hertog
ruaok, thanks! carton install DBD::Pg did the job! =D
2012-04-26 11747, 2012
alastairp
yeah, what ocharles said
2012-04-26 11751, 2012
ocharles
the copyright year is irrelevent to this, and sticking a license in the file is pointless when you could just say "# See LICENSE"
2012-04-26 11711, 2012
ocharles
but i've argued this before, and it's hairy and scarily close to politics :P
2012-04-26 11719, 2012
ocharles
so... i'm going to carry on writing haskell
2012-04-26 11728, 2012
Hertog
carbon install Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher worked also! :D
2012-04-26 11735, 2012
ruaok
ocharles: smart man.

warp: what's wrong with git?
2012-04-26 11721, 2012
ruaok regrets asking that question
2012-04-26 11728, 2012
alastairp
heh
2012-04-26 11731, 2012
ocharles will be curious to hear the answer
2012-04-26 11731, 2012
Hertog
thanks for the tip ruaok ! :)
2012-04-26 11742, 2012
ruaok
np, Hertog
2012-04-26 11742, 2012
alastairp
lots wrong with git, for some things
2012-04-26 11748, 2012
warp
ruaok: it doesn't seem suitable to use a store for a website. but I haven't seriously _tried_ to use it as such.
2012-04-26 11704, 2012
ocharles
all the people using jekyll would disagree :)

argh! after manually installing Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher and DBD::PG, carbon install --deployment is still whining about not finding those modules
ruaok: I'll have more time for coding when I'm back in .nl. So I'm considering working on my db for videogames again (musicbrainz/bookbrainz for videogames).
2012-04-26 11746, 2012
ruaok
nice.
2012-04-26 11751, 2012
ocharles
on a similar note, i'd like to spend more time after the schema change doing more edit system research
2012-04-26 11705, 2012
ruaok
ocharles: yes please.
2012-04-26 11714, 2012
warp wants editable webservice.
2012-04-26 11717, 2012
ocharles
ruaok: would I be able to us MB time?
2012-04-26 11729, 2012
ruaok
after that I was going to ask: "What else do we have to do in order to be able to focus on the edit system rewrite?"
