Need to update copyright year in sources & docs

Need to update copyright year in sources & docs

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi Daniel,

I think last year you took care of updating the copyright year
for all the GDB files. Would you mind doing it again for us this year?

Also, the documentation (18. Start of New Year Procedure) is missing
this step. I can send a patch to complete the procedure, if you'd like.

Thanks!

Done.  It's just a matter of running gdb/copyright.sh, examining the
changes, and occasionally handholding emacs if it prompts.  I examined
them somewhat cursorily, since the diff was 991K.

Thanks, Daniel.

Eli,

I propose the following addition to gdbint.texi:

2008-01-02  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * gdbint.texinfo (Start of New Year Procedure): Add item
        describing how to update the source and documentation copyright
        notices.

Tested on x86-linux, by rebuilding the HTML documentation.
OK to apply?

Thanks,

Yes, but first, please take care of these minor gotchas:

> +Add the new year in the copyright notice of all source and documentation

I think "notices" (plural) is more correct here.

> +files. This is done semi-automatically by running the @code{copyright.sh}
        ^^
Two spaces after the period that ends a sentence, please.  Also, "This
can be done" is probably better, since we don't want to _force_ use of
the script, do we?

> +script.  This script requires emacs 22 or later to be installed.

Emacs should be capitalized here.
