Bug#664520: [lintian] 04/06: Emit a warning about documentation packages that end with -docs. (Closes: #664520)
Hi Mattia, > I was thinking of that case just as an hypothetical, not as a real case. Getcha. Again, just checking in case I was missing something or there was a typo! I'll leave it for now; there's probably a good reason for the foo-docs-bar examples and it makes the regex ugly. Thanks! -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-

Right, I didn't check when writing that, but this is what my match would catch: % grep -E '^Package: .*-docs-.+$' /var/lib/apt/Packages Package: fp-docs-3.0.4 Package: xorg-docs-core % Which are probably fine enough. I was thinking of that case just as an hypothetical, not as a real case. I'll let you choose if it's something to add to the check or not (probably not indeed). -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: PGP signature
