checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Move checksrc.pl, firefox-db2pem.sh and mk-ca-bundle.pl since they don't
particularly belong in lib/
Also created an EXTRA_DIST= in scripts/Makefile.am instead of specifying
those files in the root Makefile.am
Closes#8625
If the script was ran from the main curl directory rather then the
projects directory then the script would simply exit without error:
C:\url> projects\checksrc.bat
The user would either need to change to the projects directory,
explicitly specify the current working directory, or perform a
oneline hacky workaround:
C:\url> cd projects
C:\url\projects> checksrc.bat
C:\url> checksrc.bat %cd%
C:\url> pushd projects & checksrc.bat & popd
Closes#4894
- Determine if perl is in the user's PATH by running perl.exe.
Prior to this change detection was done by checking the PATH for perl/
but that did not work in all cases (eg git install includes perl but
not in perl/ path).
