This was done by the other person in the thread Sascha Steinbiss, who had a different package flagged by lintian because of this long line. I believe Sascha also plans to remove the embedded copy of the build artefact from the other package where lintian flagged the long line. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/sascha-guest/datatables.js.git/ The long line itself is also present in the source of the jQuery dataTables plugin. I would guess that it is automatically generated by an IDE or something else (maybe jshint) parsing the other JS files and inserting the names of global variables from those files. It would be interesting to find out exactly how it works though. In any case, the long line turned out to be completely unrelated to the actual problems found; an embedded copy of a build artefact from a separate project without the separate project being packaged separately and built from upstream source using the upstream build system. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
