Package: lintian-brush Version: 0.60 Severity: wishlist Some packages live in a repository with the control files at the root. Examples are libreoffice and bash.
lintian-brush currently doesn't handle these packages but should. One possible way of supporting these packages is to construct a temporary directory with a symlink in it for debian/ back to the original repository. This is sufficient to run the various fixers; actual commits would still work on the original repository, assuming the temporary directory is otherwise untouched. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian-brush depends on: ii devscripts 2.20.2 ii python3 3.8.2-3 ii python3-breezy 3.0.2-5+b1 ii python3-debian 0.1.36 ii python3-distro-info 0.23 ii python3-dulwich 0.19.15-1 ii python3-iniparse 0.4-3 ii python3-levenshtein 0.12.0-5 ii python3-pkginfo 1.4.2-3 ii python3-ruamel.yaml 0.15.89-3+b1 Versions of packages lintian-brush recommends: ii dos2unix 7.4.0-2 ii gpg 2.2.20-1 ii libdebhelper-perl 12.10 ii lintian 2.65.0 ii python3-asyncpg 0.20.1-1+b1 ii python3-pyinotify 0.9.6-1.3 Versions of packages lintian-brush suggests: pn gnome-pkg-tools <none> ii postgresql-common 214 -- no debconf information
