Re: [Gramps-devel] meta information in source files: __author__ and __revision__ and $Id ... $

[Raphael A. <rap...@gm...>]

I've updated all the files in src/ with the exception of src/images
and src/data to use svn properties. For the keyword property, only Id
is necessary, as it includes Autor, Date and Revision. I've updated
the wiki accordingly.

Next steps needed will be
to check that all the *.py files have an $Id:$
update the files in src/images and src/data according to their filetype
remove __author__ and __revision__ variables.  (if agreement is reached on =
that)

Please speak up if you know what __author__ and __revision__ are used
for and if you think that we should keep them and add them to all of
the python files.
