| lubot_ | [telegram] <The_LoudSpeaker> Hit me up if you get stuck on anything. I did that during last release. (re @kc2bez: For some of the qt things making sure the symbols are updated is a bit tricky too.) | 06:25 |

| apt-ghetto | RikMills: Do you have a minute? | 14:11 |
| RikMills | hi | 14:11 |
| apt-ghetto | When I package a new upstream release, I see in the debian/copyright file an entry like "Files: *" and "Copyright: 2012-2019 LXQt team" | 14:12 |
| apt-ghetto | Should I update the year to 2021 for the LXQt team? | 14:13 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <kc2bez> I think that is referring to the Debian team. | 14:13 |
| RikMills | if the files in question have had changes made by that team, then yes you could | 14:14 |
| apt-ghetto | In the source files, there is often something like "Copyright: 2013 - LXQt team" but they do not update the copyright info | 14:14 |
| RikMills | is this the lxqt lxqt team or the debian lxqt team? | 14:17 |
| apt-ghetto | In my understanding it is the upstream LXQt team: https://github.com/lxqt/liblxqt/blame/0.17.0/lxqtglobals.h | 14:17 |
| apt-ghetto | And the Debian LXQt team could or should have the copyright only for debian/* Files | 14:17 |
| RikMills | ok, the upstream qxt team have no changed that file recently, so I would leave the year as it is | 14:19 |
| RikMills | use the dates in the file, not the git history | 14:20 |
| RikMills | a packager is not expected to scan the upstream git repo for dates of all source files | 14:21 |
| RikMills | you have to just go with the dats on the file in the source tar to keep things sane and manageable | 14:22 |
| apt-ghetto | Ok, thanks. Do you use a helper script for the copyright things? | 14:23 |
| RikMills | I often use decopy, sometimes licensecheck | 14:24 |
| apt-ghetto | Thanks, I will have a look at it. | 14:24 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <kc2bez> Thanks RikMills | 14:25 |
| RikMills | saying that, last few things I did that had the newer SPDX type copyright headers, just grep'ing the source tree for those worked best | 14:25 |
