Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The machine-readable copyright format includes a Format-Specification
header line that, for the present, usually points at the Wiki page for
the proposal. However, most people (including me) reference a specific
version of the Wiki proposal page by using a URL like:
http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat?recall=184
This, combined with the "Format-Specification: " in front, is virtually
guaranteed to make lintian warn about a "copyright line too long" :)
Attached is a patch that matches the lines read from the copyright file
against the "Format-Specification: proposal-url" pattern and excludes
any lines that start like this.

Description:
lintian - Debian package checker
Closes: 491302 491365 491685
Changes:
lintian (1.24.2.1) testing; urgency=high
.
The "for the sake of lenny users" release.
.
* checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Drop the "copyright line too long" check. Most of the issues
it flags aren't easily fixable, particularly where the copyright file
is (semi)automatically generated. (Closes: #491302, #491365, #491685)
.
* debian/postrm:
+ [FL] Do not try to remove /var/spool/lintian if it doesn't exist
(dpkg might already removed it at this point).
