Package: lintian Version: 1.24.2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Lintian should emit a warning when a package installs an embedded copy of Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser.
(Debian's copy--available in the python-feedparser package--contains a growing number of patches to fix various issues and packages that embed a copy from elsewhere are not picking these up.) Patch (with testcases) attached. Regards, -- Chris Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0x634F9A20
