Package: lintian Version: 2.2.17 Severity: minor Hi, I've just been warned about lib-recommends-documentation on two packages called:
libcore-ocaml-dev libcore-extended-ocaml-dev According to the tag description the warning should not be triggered, as the two packages are in fact development libraries which should recommend the documentation needed to program against them. Runtime libraries (libcore-ocaml and libcore-extended-ocaml) on the contrary should of course have no such recommends. Looking very briefly at the code of the test, it seems to me that it explicitly consider a trailing -dev as something that should trigger the warning, while AFAICT -dev is exactly a suffix that should inhibit the warning to be triggered. Many thanks for maintaining lintian!
