Package: lintian Version: 2.5.0 Severity: normal
Hello, my description will sound like a question (and is also one) but I think it should be better explained in the documentation file:///usr/share/doc/lintian/lintian.html/section-2.4.html The question is how to make the difference between a binary and a source issue. For example, I get always the same result with the 3 following calls (knowing that source and binary have the same package name): $ lintian freeplane_1.1.3-1_i386.changes W: freeplane: missing-classpath libcommons-lang-java, libjgoodies-forms-java, libbatik-java, libxerces2-java, libxml-commons-external-java, libjaxp1.3-java, libjlatexmath-java, libknopflerfish-osgi-framework-java, libjortho-freeplane-java $ lintian -b freeplane_1.1.3-1_i386.changes W: freeplane: missing-classpath libcommons-lang-java, libjgoodies-forms-java, libbatik-java, libxerces2-java, libxml-commons-external-java, libjaxp1.3-java, libjlatexmath-java, libknopflerfish-osgi-framework-java, libjortho-freeplane-java $ lintian -s freeplane_1.1.3-1_i386.changes W: freeplane: missing-classpath libcommons-lang-java, libjgoodies-forms-java, libbatik-java, libxerces2-java, libxml-commons-external-java, libjaxp1.3-java, libjlatexmath-java, libknopflerfish-osgi-framework-java, libjortho-freeplane-java So, how do I know what I have for an issue type? and if the issue is considered to impact binary _and_ source, should I override both? OK, I ran lintian in debug mode, so I guess that it's a binary issue, but I think my questions remain valid, AND why does then '-s' give a result? Final question: why not output binary|source information in the same format as for the override file? That would make things a lot easier...
