Hey, thanks for working on the reopen packaging.
Lintian is a tool which detects when your package is violating Debian policy (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lintian). In this case, you are including a binary program in your package, but not a corresponding man page. The fix is to author a man page and include it in the package. In the future, you can use lintian -i on your .changes file to get full explanations for the detected errors. Personally, I’m using this ~/.lintianrc: https://github.com/stapelberg/configfiles/blob/master/lintianrc On Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 11:44 PM Aman Verma <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > I was packaging "reopen" ( > https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/tree/master/vendor/github.com/client9/reopen) > which is a dependency of gitlab-workhorse .
