Package: lintian Version: 1.23.42 Severity: normal Hi!
It would be nice to get a warning of some kind if 1) maintainer is a list and 2) uploaders is empty It is quite nice to be able to see which persons is behind a package. A empty uploaders field and a list as maintainer effectively hides this. To check if maintainer is a list, maybe matching on @lists. in maintainer field could do it. Or a bit stricter @lists\.(alioth\.)?debian\.org See for example: #401776 /Sune -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-vserver-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.16.2 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.23-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.0-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
