Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.93
Severity: normal
When activating the licensecheck reporting, licensecheck is invoked with the
following option:
-i '^debian/(changelog|copyright(|_hints|_newhints))'
Setting this option overrides the default value
('(?:^|/).*~$|(?:^|/)\.#.*$|(?:^|/)\..*\.swp$|(?:^|/),,.*(?:$|/.*$)|(?:^|/)(?:DEADJOE|\.cvsignore|\.arch-inventory|\.bzrignore|\.gitignore)$|(?:^|/)(?:CVS|RCS|\.deps|\{arch\}|\.arch-ids|\.svn|\.hg|_darcs|\.git|\.shelf|_MTN|\.bzr(?:\.backup|tags)?)(?:$|/.*$)')
so activating the rule in a git-maintained tree will try to parse the whole
.git repository.
This could be fixed either in the licensecheck2dep5 (by filtering the
changelog/copyright* files here), or by filing a bug report against
licensecheck so that there is another option to append an additional ignore
regexp in addition to the default one.

Good to hear! Bug hereby closed as a non-bug.

Agreed. licensecheck really is a CLI tool, not well designed for use
within other scripts.
I long ago joined the devscript team with the very intend of improving
that, but haven't found (a.k.a. taken) time to do that yet...
Please do poke me from time to time about this - some day it might work
:-)

Well, thanks for your concern!
