Package: lintian Version: 2.140.1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, The DFSG Team have agreed that all packages entering Debian MUST have a debian/copyright file which is in the "DEP-5" format. I.e. the first line should contain: Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ And the rest of the file should conform fully to that format. While lintian will run checks *if* the file format appears to be DEP-5, it does not warn when the file is clearly not in that format, which is what we would like to see added as a check. Along with making this mandatory for packages entering Debian as of now, we do also want to work towards *all* existing packages in Debian having a DEP-5 copyright in order to assist with software BOM initiatives and other automated license analyses. Thanks, Andrew McMillan.
