Package: licenserecon
Version: 11.0
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
According to the comment in /usr/share/lrc/lrc.config:
> # Directories identified by trailing slash /
> # Entire contents will be (recursively) excluded.
> debian/patches/
directories listed in debian/lrc.config should be excluded recursively.
In practice, only files directly in the listed directory are excluded,
files in subdirectories are not.
Here is a minimal example to reproduce the issue:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
File: ./debian/copyright
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Files: examples/*
License: Expat
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
File: ./debian/lrc.config
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
examples/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
File: ./examples/subdir/foo
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
File: ./examples/foo
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Running lrc in this directory produces:
en: Versions: licenserecon '11.0' licensecheck '3.3.9-1ubuntu2'
Parsing Source Tree ....
Reading d/copyright ....
Missing Files: Paragraph for debian/
Running licensecheck ....
d/copyright | licensecheck
Expat | Apache-2.0 examples/subdir/foo
The file 'examples/foo' is ignored as expected, but the file in the
subdirectory is not.
It would be very helpful if lrc could actually ignore directories
recursively.
Cheers,
Adrian
