Because automake used to delete depdirs at once (.deps) and there was an issue
with portability, curl's XC_AMEND_DISTCLEAN greps the Makefiles in an attempt
to build a list of all depfiles and delete them individually instead.
Since commit 08849db866b44510f6b8fd49e313c91a43a3dfd3, automake switched from
deleting directories to individual files. curl's custom logic now finds a lot
more results with the grep (the filtering of these results isn't great), which
causes a massive bloating of the Makefile in the order of O(n^2).
Also remove now-unused XC_AMEND_DISTCLEAN macro group

Fixes#9843Closes#10661
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
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
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
- replace tabs with spaces where possible
- remove line ending spaces
- remove double/triple newlines at EOF
- fix a non-UTF-8 character
- cleanup a few indentations/line continuations
in manual examples
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3037
