This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Previously, we would only compare the current version to resolved latest
version for track. When running `tailscale update --track=stable` from
an unstable build, it would almost always fail because the stable
version is "older". But we should support explicitly switching tracks
like that.

The package info output can list multiple package versions, and not in
descending order. Find the newest version in the output, instead of the
first one.

Use the [`plugin`

to fetch and apply the update.

In case there's a wild symlink in one of the target paths, we don't want
to accidentally delete too much. Limit `cleanupOldDownloads` to deleting
individual files only.

In the sandboxed app from the app store, we cannot check
`/Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce.plist` or run `softwareupdate`.
We can at most print a helpful message and open the app store page.
Also, reenable macsys update function to mark it as supporting c2n
updates. macsys support in `tailscale update` was fixed.

As a fallback to package managers, allow updating tailscale that was
self-installed in some way. There are some tricky bits around updating
the systemd unit (should we stick to local binary paths or to the ones
in tailscaled.service?), so leaving that out for now.

An Arch Linux maintainer asked us to not implement "tailscale update" on
Arch-based distros:
https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/6995#issuecomment-1687080106
Return an error to the user if they try to run "tailscale update".

The hardware version in `/proc/sys/kernel/syno_hw_version` does not map
exactly to versions in
https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/wiki/Synology-and-SynoCommunity-Package-Architectures.
It contains some slightly different version formats.
Instead, `/etc/synoinfo.conf` exists and contains a `unique` line with
the CPU architecture encoded. Parse that out and filter through the list
of architectures that we have SPKs for.
Tested on DS218 and DS413j.

Implement naive update for Synology packages, using latest versions from
pkgs.tailscale.com. This is naive because we completely trust
pkgs.tailscale.com to give us a safe package. We should switch this to
some better signing mechanism later.
I've only tested this on one DS218 box, so all the CPU architecture
munging is purely based on docs.

Extract the self-update logic from cmd/tailscale/cli into a standalone
package that could be used from tailscaled later.
