Package: lintian Version: 2.5.22.1 Severity: normal
The tag no-symbols-control-file should be skipped entirely for ObjC libraries, because instance/class methods do not appear in the symbol table at all. Even better, it would be nice if lintian reported an error (objc-lib-with-symbols-control-file or something similar) if that happens, as the effects could be disastrous (API additions and ABI breaks may go unnoticed in most cases). You can recognize such libraries with a reasonable degree of certainty by looking at symbols beginning with __objc_(class|category)_name_. Sorry that I cannot help with the implementation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
