Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: minor Hi,
while preparing an upload of bb, lintian emitted (beyond others) these tags: I: bb source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/README.patch I: bb source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/bb.1.patch I: bb source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/disable_music_by_default.patch I: bb source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/fix-implicit-declaration.patch I: bb source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/fix-typos-in-messages.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description bb.c.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description julia.c.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description main.c.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description tex.c.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description timers.c.patch I: bb source: quilt-patch-missing-description zoom.c.patch Please note that for patch-not-forwarded-upstream it emits the full path the to patch while for quilt-patch-missing-description it just emits the patch file name. IMHO lintian should consistently emit paths to patches only the one or the other way. I slightly prefer to just emit the file name: It makes the output much shorter and hence also better readable on not so wide terminals (reducing the chance of spawning over more than one terminal line). The path also should be obvious to every package maintainer anyways. Then again, the full path might make life easier for packaging beginners who work on an existing package. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.35.1-7 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii clzip 1.11-9 ii diffstat 1.64-1 ii dpkg 1.20.7.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.7.1 ii file 1:5.39-3 ii gettext 0.21-3 ii gpg 2.2.20-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b4 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b6 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1+b1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.24-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.25-1+b1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b2 ii libdigest-sha-perl 6.02-1+b3 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.7.1 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b3 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1.1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1.1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004003-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.430-2 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.004004-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1.1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.114-2 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b7 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.59-2+b1 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b8 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.12-1+b1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1+b1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b3 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.012000-1 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b2 ii liburi-perl 5.05-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.82+repack-1+b1 ii lzip 1.21-8 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.9.3-2 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.32.0-6 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-26 ii xz-utils 5.2.5-1.0 lintian recommends no packages.
