Generating the debian/copyright is really time-consuming. I wrote a
Python script that (sort of) automates the process. It is attached
below. As an example, also attached below is the stdout output when
running it from the top-level directory of the octave-optim package.
Note that files and years/authors are grouped in a sensible way. The
output is not 100% perfect and will need further edition. The script
appears to correctly detect the (L)GPL terms and the license version, but
only if the standard text recommended by the FSF is present.
Tell me what you think, please. Should we include this script in
octave-pkg-dev?
