Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.30-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
licensecheck comes with an '--ignore' option that allows to specify a filename exclusion pattern. unfortunately, using that option will *override* the built-in ignore patterns, which are (not very) accurately defined in the help with "some backup and VCS files". in most cases, i would like to specify additional ignore patterns, without having to worry about what "some backup and VCS files" really means and without having to maintain these files seprately, thus duplicating the work of the licensecheck upstream. fwiw, usually i'd like to ignore some binary files. i therefore would like to suggest to add an(other ?) option that would allow me to specify an *additional* filename pattern to be ignored. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages licensecheck depends on: ii libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl 0.100-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.003002-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-iterator-rule-perl 1.009-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.100-1 ii libpod-constants-perl 0.19-1 ii libscalar-list-utils-perl 1:1.48-1+b2 ii libsort-key-perl 1.33-1+b5 ii libstrictures-perl 2.000003-1 ii libstring-copyright-perl 0.003005-1 ii libstring-escape-perl 2010.002-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.28-1 ii perl 5.26.0-5 ii perl-base [libscalar-list-utils-perl] 5.26.0-5 licensecheck recommends no packages.
