Package: lintian Version: 2.5.38 Severity: important Hi! While packaging Qt5 I had quite a lot of false positives because lintian considers javascript with long lines as a prebuilt one.
As an example, in qtwebkit-opensource-src's Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ActivateButtonNavigationItem.js::272 WebInspector.ActivateButtonNavigationItem.prototype.__proto__ = WebInspector.ButtonNavigationItem.prototype; It's a pretty valid line. I'm getting two errors, possibly related: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object and source-is-missing. Both of them are false. The complete list in the above mentioned src package would be: P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ActivateButtonNavigationItem.js line length is 272 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ActivateButtonNavigationItem.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ConsoleMessageImpl.js line length is 260 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ConsoleMessageImpl.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/DOMTree.js line length is 283 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/DOMTree.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/DebuggerSidebarPanel.js line length is 266 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/DebuggerSidebarPanel.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/InspectorBackendCommands.js line length is 362 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/InspectorBackendCommands.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/LogContentView.js line length is 325 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/LogContentView.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ProfileView.js line length is 284 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ProfileView.js P: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ResourceSidebarPanel.js line length is 520 characters (>256) E: qtwebkit-opensource-src source: source-is-missing Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/ResourceSidebarPanel.js All of them false positives. So I think this is not a good measurement tool :-/ Kinds regards, Lisandro. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.25.1-6 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii diffstat 1.60-1 ii file 1:5.25-2 ii gettext 0.19.6-1 ii hardening-includes 2.7 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b3 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.53-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.3 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.196-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.413-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-8 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.69-1 ii man-db 2.7.4-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.20.2-6 ii t1utils 1.38-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii dpkg 1.18.3 pn libperlio-gzip-perl <none> ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.20.2-6 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.18.3 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.13-1 -- no debconf information
