Package: lintian Version: 2.2.10 While implementing a dh_installupstart command that installs upstart jobs for packages and provides compatibility symlinks in /etc/init.d for a wrapper, lintian spit out the following messages on my test package:
W: cups: init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/init.d/cups N: N: /etc/init.d scripts should be marked as conffiles. N: N: This is usually an error, but the Policy allows for managing these files N: manually in maintainer scripts and Lintian cannot reliably detect that. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.3.2 (Writing the scripts) for N: details. N: N: Severity: important, Certainty: wild-guess N: E: cups: init.d-script-not-included-in-package /etc/init.d/cups N: N: The /etc/init.d script is registered in the postinst script, but is not N: included in the package. N: N: Severity: important, Certainty: certain N: The first lintian check should know to exclude symlinks. The second one should probably do the same, or at least check the validity of the target against some sort of relevant whitelist (in this case: packages depending on virtual package 'upstart-job' and linking to '/lib/init/upstart-job' are correct). The combination of the two lintian messages on a single package is amusing. ;) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
