Package: lintian Version: 2.2.5 Severity: minor Playing around with the new pedantic diagnostics, I noticed this one:
P: source-contains-prebuilt-binary tests/diff_a_binary_file/binary This file is in the upstream testsuite; it's not a complete executable, although it does have a valid ELF header (it appears to be the first 1024 bytes of some random program one of the developers had lying around). May I suggest that this diagnostic be suppressed for files which are *both* not installed *and* whose pathname relative to the top level of the source contains the word "tests" or "testsuite"? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-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/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.46-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.25 Debian package development tools ii file 4.26-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.2-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
