Hi,
I'm trying to get the next release of this into Debian:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/makepp/files/2.1/snapshots/makepp-2.0.98.2.deb/download
and as a good citizen lintianed it. This gives (after having fixed various
others in older releases):
...
W: makepp: extended-description-line-too-long
W: makepp: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/bin/mpp
...
The 1st is true, but intended and in accordance with
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Description
"Successive lines of this form will be word-wrapped when displayed." Synaptic
indeed does just that, and it looks much better than the hard line breaks in
many descriptions. Besides, synaptic gives more interline gap for a hard line
break than for one it wrapped itself. Please remove a warning that's in
contradiction to debian-policy!
The second one appeared recently, and it's nonsense. mpp* are hard links to
makepp* and it rightly doesn't complain about those, because they have a perl
magic number. Since these are hard links, they are the identical file, so how
can they be wrong?
