For -devel, context is that Anthony Fok just uploaded a new upstream version of pydoctor (a tool for extracting API docs for python modules) in order to fix a couple of upstream bugs. Anthony, thank you very much for your work to help fix one of our (mutual) indirect dependencies.
Unfortunately the new pydoctor has some DFSG issues (#952546, CC'd). I am hoping that -devel can advise what the conventional approach is to the package containing a sourceless copy of bootstrap.min.js. I'm guessing that the answer is to strip the sourceless file from the package, and have the binary package contain a symlink into the file tree of some other package which contains an appropriate bootstrap file ? But is this right, and if so which package ? I vaguely remembered this having been discussed before but I couldn't find the conclusions written down anywhere. I looked in quite a few places for answers to this: I searched the lintian tags for missing source, but they all seemed quite generic. I tried to search -devel archives for "bootstrap" (too many hits) and "bootstrap.min.js" (nothing relevant). I tried various wiki searches too. (The d/copyright problem with epydoc should be easy if tedious to fix; I don't understand why it wants epydoc which I thought was obsolete but this is far from my field of expertise.) Regards, Ian.
