Package: lintian Version: 2.5.37 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I noticed today that there were two new Lintian errors on DDPO for my 'aegean' package (https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/sas...@steinbiss.name.html#aegean). These seem to be fairly recent, and I took a look to see what could be wrong. Looks like the JQuery DataTables libraries included are flagged as minified without source on the basis that they have lines longer than 1024 characters: $ lintian -V Lintian v2.5.37 $ lintian --info --display-info --display-experimental --pedantic --show-overrides aegean_0.13.0+dfsg-1.dsc P: aegean source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object data/share/vendor/jquery.dataTables.js line length is 1397 characters (>1024) [...] E: aegean source: source-is-missing data/share/vendor/jquery.dataTables.js [...] But this file is not minified, it's there as full source code -- there is only one line (l.24) which is quite long (>1300 chars). I think this is a false positive (that has been recently introduced?) and looking at the line length alone is probably not sufficient to reliably identify minified JS. Any comments?
