Just a New Year's reminder to all those who use Emacs...
If you want to have Emacs remind you when a file's copyright (if it
exists) is out of date, you can include:
(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'copyright-update)
(setq copyright-query t)
in your .emacs file. This will cause Emacs to search the top 2000
characters for a copyright notice (including the TeX @copyright{},
octal 251, and I believe the troff copyright char), and if found,
ensure that the current year is listed, and prompt you for permission
to update it if necessary. This occurs on the first save of any file.
This works on at least recent (last 8 months) GNU Emacs 19 releases
and all GNU Emacs 20 releases.
Happy hacking,
joelh
