Trying to overrides some source-is-missing false-positives in package
rkward, I note that wildcard matching no longer appears to work at
start or mid of string. I'm trying to override source is missing for
E: rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/plots/box_plot.js
line length is 257 characters (>256)
E: rkward source: source-is-missing
rkward/plugins/analysis/power/Poweranalysis.js line length is 538
characters (>512)
(Note: The heuristics underlying source-is-missing have seen a number
of changes, apparently. Other versions have been flagging more .js
files in rkward).
I would expect the following three override variants to all do the
trick, but only variant 3 overrides, successfully:
1)
rkward source: source-is-missing *.js
2)
rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/*.js
3)
rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/*
Variant 2 used to work with some earlier version of lintian, current
around December 2015. I never used Variant 1 except for testing.
The tag info doesn't end with ".js", but with "line length is $X
characters (>$Y)"; so it's not surprising that the first two variants
don't work.
That said, I don't think this "line length ..." part is helpful to
users, so I'd be in favor of removing it.
