Package: lintian Version: 1.23.7 Severity: normal
Hi, lintian outputs the following error: E: obexftp: changelog-file-not-compressed ChangeLog.html N: N: Changelog files must be compressed using `gzip -9'. Even if they start N: out small, they will become large with time. N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.7 for details. N: However, debian-policy 3.6.1 section 12.7 says: If the upstream changelog is distributed in HTML, it should be made available in that form as /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html.gz and a plain text changelog.gz should be generated from it using, for example, lynx -dump -nolist. There is no 'must' in there. Additionally, changelog.html is not quite a common name, even the cvs2cl tool creates a "ChangeLog" file.
