Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.47 Severity: wishlist licensecheck is a useful tool for packaging - however, it does not seem to deal gracefully (read: at all) with reasonably common multi-line copyright statements in the following format:
* Copyright © 2000 Keith Packard, member of The XFree86 Project, Inc. * 2005 Lars Knoll & Zack Rusin, Trolltech * 2008 Aaron Plattner, NVIDIA Corporation Despite obviously being part of a copyright "block" to the human eye, only the line specifically starting with "Copyright" is parsed, leading to people being skipped over when not manually verifying all licensecheck output (at which point its usefulness is zero) -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers intrepid-updates APT policy: (500, 'intrepid-updates'), (500, 'intrepid-security'), (500, 'intrepid-backports'), (500, 'intrepid') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.14.20ubuntu6.1 Debian package development tools ii libc6 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2.2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.10.1ubuntu3 Delayed job execution and batch pr ii bsd-mail 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii bzr 1.6.1-1 easy to use distributed version co ii curl 7.18.2-1ubuntu4.3 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii cvs 1:1.12.13-11 Concurrent Versions System ii dctrl-to 2.12ubuntu1 Command-line tools to process Debi ii dput 0.9.2.34ubuntu1 Debian package upload tool ii epiphany 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck ii fakeroot 1.9.5ubuntu1 Gives a fake root environment ii firefox- 3.0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 safe and easy web browser from Moz ii git-core 1:1.5.6.3-1.1ubuntu2.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gnupg 1.4.9-3ubuntu1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libauthe 2.12-1 Authen::SASL - SASL Authentication pn libparse <none> (no description available) pn libterm- <none> (no description available) ii libtimed 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-p 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii libwww-p 5.812-1 WWW client/server library for Perl pn libyaml- <none> (no description available) ii links2 [ 2.1pre37-1.1 Web browser running in both graphi ii lintian 2.2.4~intrepid1 Debian package checker ii lsb-rele 3.2-14ubuntu2 Linux Standard Base version report ii lynx [ww 2.8.6-2.1ubuntu3 Text-mode WWW Browser ii mailx 1:20071201-3 Transitional package for mailx ren ii man-db 2.5.2-2 on-line manual pager ii openssh- 1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii opera [w 9.51.2061.gcc4.qt3 The Opera Web Browser ii patch 2.5.9-5 Apply a diff file to an original ii patchuti 0.2.31-4 Utilities to work with patches ii strace 4.5.15-1.2ubuntu1 A system call tracer ii subversi 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 Advanced version control system ii unzip 5.52-11ubuntu1 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m [www 0.5.2-2build1 WWW browsable pager with excellent pn wdiff <none> (no description available) ii wget 1.11.4-1ubuntu1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
