Package: lintian Version: 2.2.17 Severity: normal Greeting, Lintian maintainers!
I just got an informational ’build-depends-without-arch-dep’ tag and wonder what the problem is. If a source package only builds architecture-independant packages, is there a use case for not wanting to install the dependancies necessary to build the binary packages? Said differently, are there tools that take a source package that only produces Arch: all packages, unpacks it, and only plays with the clean, build-arch and binary-arch targets of debian/rules? If not, the Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dichotomy is not necessary in that case, and this tag is pedantic at best. In case we do not agree, I would be interested to know if it is acceptable to override this tag. Have a nice week-end, and thanks a lot for your efforts, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
