I see that it is enabled by setting an environment variable before running licensecheck2dep5, like this: merge_same_license="yes" export merge_same_license Is there any other way to enable this feature? I haven't spotted any command-line option, for instance...

I have wanted to make that very improvement for some time - thanks for pushing me: CDBS 0.4.119 now released to support this. :-) Since libav does not use short-form dh, it can be made to check copyright is up-to-date at each build. a) Edit debian/rules to add these lines: include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/utils.mk DEB_COPYRIGHT_CHECK_MERGE_SAME_LICENSE = yes, please! b) Change "clean:" target to be "clean::" (i.e. double-colon). c) Build-depend on cdbs and devscripts. d) Touch debian/copyright_hints and follow the instructions in the warning spewed at next build. ...or if you wanna provoke as minimally as possible the copyright check and preserve the temporary files, you can do this: quilt push -a DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 debian/rules pre-build DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 fakeroot debian/rules clean quilt pop -a Regards, - Jonas signature.asc Description: signature

Maybe this could be the opportunity to switch to the new machine-readable debian/copyright file format [2]... I tried to tackle this issue down yesterday by using a combination of "licensecheck -r --copyright" and "/u/l/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5". "Should be mostly LGPL-2+ with some GPL-2+ files..." I thought. Well, I was mostly right, but the resulting copyright template was nearly 4000 lines long. An estimated 90% of these were "License: LGPL-2+" stanzas with partially only slightly varying combinations of Copyright holders. However, I wanted the new file to be in the same style as the copyright file we currently have in libav. That is "Files: *", then a list of *all* copyright holders, then "License: LGPL-2+" and then mention of the exceptions to this rule in separate stanzas. I tried to modify the licensecheck2dep5 script to match this need, but I have to admit that I am completely incapable of reading and writing Perl code and after short time my brain literally hurt. Jonas, could you please help me and reveal how I have to modify the licensecheck2dep5 script to combine all Files and Copyright holders for which the same License applies into one single stanza?

Bug#694657: libav-source: debian/copyright file no longer seems to be accurate
Source: libav Version: 6:0.8.4-1 Severity: important Hello, it seems to me that the debian/copyright file [1] is no longer consistent with the actual content of the upstream source archive (libav_0.8.4.orig.tar.gz). For instance, file libavcodec/dtsdec.c no longer exists (there is a libavformat/dtsdec.c , but it's licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL v2.1 or later, not under the GNU GPL...). File libswscale/swscale.c is now licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL v2.1 or later (and no longer under the GNU GPL...). And so forth... Please perform a new licensing audit and update the debian/copyright file. Maybe this could be the opportunity to switch to the new machine-readable debian/copyright file format [2]... Thanks for your time! Bye.
