Copyright date incorrect

[boseiju]

Hey,

The following string is currently displayed in the footer on every page:

© Copyright 2016-1980, NixOS Foundation.

The source looks like it should provide an accurate date:

nix.dev/source/conf.py

Line 18 in ea8357b

 from datetime import date 

nix.dev/source/conf.py

Line 82 in ea8357b

 copyright = "2016-" + str(date.today().year) + ", NixOS Foundation" 

Is this perhaps an infrastructure issue causing the date to be set inaccurately?

@boseiju I believe this is one of the things the Nix build environment does to reduce source of impurities. I think we should just hardcode it and have someone update the copyright year as an annual task.

We should be able to close this now with #800 being merged.
