Package: src:llvm-toolchain-snapshot
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

Paul recommended that I report this bug, and I've CCed him so he can confirm that I'm not misrepresenting him.

This affects version src:llvm-toolchain-snapshot-1:6.0~svn311834-1 and at least all versions of src:llvm-toolchain since 2014.

I think d/copyright:
Files: *
Copyright: 2003-2007 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
License: U-OF-I-BSD-LIKE

misrepresents (missing/wrong) clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/*

I discovered this issue while searching for the origin of run-clang-tidy.py bundled with src:irony-mode.  The earliest copy I could find is 2014-09-04, from here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D5188 , and the most recent is 2017.

clang-tidy-diff.py is also misrepresented by the */glob 2003-2007.  On the upside, they are NCSA/University of Illinois licensed, which appears to be covered by License: U-OF-I-BSD-LIKE

Section License: U-OF-I-BSD-LIKE should also be updated from "2003-2013" to something more recent :-)

I would submit a patch, but I'm sure what conventions the LLVM/Clang team follow.

Kind regards,
Nicholas
