Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Please consider docbook-defguide and docbook-xml/docbook-simple as examples. In these packages I created a build-system (docbook-defguide) or catalogs (docbook-xml, docbook-simple). Because I use a patch system to change upstream sources, lintian complains about the fact, that I do not create these files by patch. It simply doesn't make sense to create these files by patch. lintian should only warn, if changes are really changes to an existing file, but not if "change" means, that a file has been created. Would you agree to this? Is it possible to exclude created files from this warning? I would further vote for excluding changes.{sub,guess,rpath} and maybe even Makefiles and/or configure scripts from this test. However, this is hust an optional suggestion.
