365576 - Update SeaMonkey's copyright strings to 2007

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

We obviously need to do this - we've got xpfe and suiterunner to check on this year :-(

I'd like to follow Firefox's lead with the help files - they have put a copyright.years string into platformString.dtd and all the help files reference that (see bug 365553). I'd like to do the same, but I think brand.dtd would be the better location in our case (we don't have platformString.dtd). Any comments?

We should probably block the 1.1 release with this as well... ;-)

Attachment: Bump main copyright strings (checked in to trunk)

This updates just the main version strings for xpfe and toolkit builds of SeaMonkey (I've not done help yet). This will fix --version, about & license (note that suiterunner about & license were done in bug 365553).

Will we want to update about.xhtml & license.xhtml on the branch for 1.1 considering that the changes affect l10n? Bug 322172 has some comments on this.

Attachment: Bump help strings and make it easier for next time

This follows what FF did in bug 365553 and should make it easier next year to bump the copyright strings in help (also hopefully reduces l10n effort).

Looks good to me.

And yes, please also do that for branch, though please don't use the "new entity approach" there for help files etc. Just change existing strings and write a note to m.d.l10n when checking in.

looks good to me for trunk (see my last comment for branch). a=me

(doing too much approvals, I guess. this was r=me, not a=me, as I flagged correctly)

As it's the same string each time, is it worth putting the whole copyright statement in the dtd, or are we planning on reusing the years elsewhere?

Revised help patch with the full copyright string in brand.dtd as per Neil's suggestion. I'll check this in tomorrow morning.

Attachment: Branch version

Reduced patch for 1.1 branch - strings in help just replace the numbers. When this is checked in, I'll put a note on m.d.l10n saying that they've been updated, although it not necessary for all locales to be updated.

Branch version

r+a=me (I'm countung Neil's sr for a branch-only patch as implicit first approval here)

I've just checked the branch patch in -> all fixed.
