Hi Chris, Based on main/Contents-amd64, the following packages are affected: corosync-notifyd 1 keepalived3 pacemaker-common 1 pcs-snmp 2 libsnmp-base 13 cyrus-common 1 dnsdist 1 pdns-recursor 1 I'll certainly add overrides to my packages if Lintian doesn't make the exception. -- Regards, Feri

tags 971427 + moreinfo thanks Hi Ferenc, > SNMP MIB files are generally /usr/share/snmp/mibs/*.txt, though > these text files aren't documentation. Please make them exempt > from package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc. Totally ACK that these are false-positives. However, I am not sure that this is a general or widespread issue which would warrant an exception being made in Lintian itself. As in, compared to adding a Lintian override in your specific package. -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org chris-lamb.co.uk `-
Bug#971427: lintian: false positive package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc for SNMP MIB files
Package: lintian Version: 2.96.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, SNMP MIB files are generally /usr/share/snmp/mibs/*.txt, though these text files aren't documentation. Please make them exempt from package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc. See libsnmp-base for example. -- Thanks, Feri.
