Yes. I believe the copyright year is supposed to be the year of first publication. Which is why books updated frequently usually have multiple copyright years, one for each year new stuff got added. You get a notice like "copyright 1968, 1979, 1997, 2014". -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There will rarely be a complete year without any changes... But if there is such a year to happen, the changing of the entity definition could be omitted. The setting of the entity content (= changing it) will still be a manual process, no automatism. Holger -- Sent from my Jolla http://jolla.com/, powered by Sailfish OS

Patch attached, works for both xml and po based translations. Correct me if I'm wrong here but shouldn't the copyright year only be updated when there is an actual change? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
