#790: Make cabal check warn if copyright field doesn't have current year ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Quite a few packages being uploaded on Hackage have 2010 as the copyright year, probably because developers forgot to update the year. As an example, see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/turni-2011.1.15 which was uploaded in 2011, but puts the copyright as 2010 (that's just the first I encountered, but there are loads). I suggest cabal check should warn if copyright doesn't have the current year in the field. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/790 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
