Hi
Since 2026 is still rather new, you may want to update the "debian/*" entry of
the debian/copyright file of the package you maintain.
You can update this entry and commit the result in one command with "cme run
update-my-copyright-year".
This command uses $DEBFULLNAME to find the right copyright entry
For instance (slightly redacted to avoid email harvesting):
$ cme run update-my-copyright-year
Changes applied to dpkg-copyright configuration:
- Files:"debian/*" Copyright: 'Norbert Tretkowski <nobse.debian.org> 2012-2024,
Dominique D[...]' -> 'Norbert Tretkowski <nobse.debian.org> 2012-2024, 2026,
Domin[...]'
[debian/sid 6adc50f9] updated copyright year of Dominique Dumont
