Package: lintian Version: 2.5.22.1 Severity: normal The checking used to find javascript files is picking up too many false positives to be useful.
Let's say you have someproject/foo.min.js There is only two places lintian finds this under missing sources foo.js and someproject/foo.js This is severly limited and basically means a pile of work for no benefit to anyone. Some examples of files not found: foo-1.2.js someproject-1.2/foo.js someproject/scripts/foo.js Nowhere in any license does it say you must have the same name or directory of the source, in the C world this would be the same as not permitting: bin/myprogram src/foo.c src/bar.h because they're different names! lintian should do the equivalent of find debian/missing-sources -name foo.js only, anything else is wrong and not required by the licenses. - Craig -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140411-2 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.17-1 ii gettext 0.18.3.2-1 ii hardening-includes 2.5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.37-2 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.36-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.6 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.192-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.06~01-2 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.2-2+b1 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-2 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.2-2 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.6 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 pn libtext-template-perl <none> pn libyaml-perl <none> ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
