Package: lintian Version: 2.5.25 Severity: wishlist Hi,
some licenses are rather long and thus it could be easily detected whether their "License" paragraph in debian/copyright is too short to possibly contain them. Here some examples of licenses which are probably long enough such that this heuristic would have a low amount of false positives but are not shipped in /usr/share/common-licenses: - AGPL3 - LaTeX Project Public License - Python Software Foundation License - Mozilla Public License - Creative Commons licenses the user would then get a message like: "your License stanza for AGPL3+ is only 20 lines long and thus probably not the full text of the AGPL" Thanks! cheers, josch -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140617-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.19-1 ii gettext 0.18.3.2-3 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 0.37-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.10 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.194-1 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 0.09-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.62-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.2-6 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.2-6 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.10 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 0.95-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
