Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.29-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
For https://sources.debian.net/src/sagemath/7.6-2/sage/src/sage/misc/edit_module.py/ $ licensecheck --copyright src/sage/misc/edit_module.py src/sage/misc/edit_module.py: GPL [Copyright: 2007 Nils Bruin <nbr...@sfu.ca> and] This is wrong, but I can work around it with the following sed script: $ cat src/sage/misc/edit_module.py | tr '\n' '\t' | sed -e 's/\(,\|\band\)\s*\t#\?\s*/\1 /g' | tr '\t' '\n' > fixed.py $ licensecheck --copyright fixed.py fixed.py: GPL [Copyright: 2007 Nils Bruin <nbr...@sfu.ca> and William Stein <wst...@math.ucsd.edu>] It would be good if this logic were incorporated into licensecheck itself. I'd help, but my perl is really bad. (Also perhaps the # in the regex should be a (?:#|//|/*) or something like that) X -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (300, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages licensecheck depends on: ii libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl 0.100-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.003002-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-iterator-rule-perl 1.009-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.100-1 ii libpod-constants-perl 0.19-1 ii libscalar-list-utils-perl 1:1.47-1 ii libsort-key-perl 1.33-1+b3 ii libstrictures-perl 2.000003-1 ii libstring-copyright-perl 0.003005-1 ii libstring-escape-perl 2010.002-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.28-1 ii perl 5.24.1-4 ii perl-base [libscalar-list-utils-perl] 5.24.1-4 ii perl-modules-5.24 [libexperimental-perl] 5.24.1-4 Versions of packages licensecheck recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.3 licensecheck suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
