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
Follow-up to bbf8cae44d
We removed support for the watcom builds files back in September
2020. This removes all remaining watcom references and ifdefs.
Closes#8287
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
This function makes a platform-specific absolute path which uses
backslashes on Windows. This form works when passing it on the
command-line, as well as if the source is on another drive.
Make testcurl.pl ignore messages pertaining to third party m4 files we don't
care nor use on a file basis policy while retaining all other warnings.
This closes temporary commit e71e226f
Autobuild submitters can use this to add some text to their
setup files to describe issues they've found with the build
or tests. This could include laying blame on test failures on
network issues or dependent libraries, explaining away compiler
warnings or providing any additional information that could be
useful to people reviewing and investigating problems with the
publicly available autobuild logs. Note that persistent test
failures that are not issues with curl itself should normally be
fixed by excluding them from the test run instead.
This is an entirely optional field that is not entered by the
user the first time a new build is created.
It seems that its time to look at some better ideas for the win32
non-configure builds; probably a prebuild target which copies
config-win32.h to curl_config.h and appends also then feature
defines like USE_ARES.
My first instinct was to run the test script within the checked out
repository. This small change to the script allows that to work as
expected.

The backtick command which extracts 'git log' lines come with a
newline, so chomp the newline before calling logit(), as the logit
function adds a newline by itself.
'git log --oneline' is a relatively recent Git function. It is
documented to be the same as 'git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit',
so use that instead. It works all the way back to Git 1.5.0.
