So in some other words: Rules-Requires-Root can be set to "no" unless you ship some files with non-standard owner or group, or perhaps do something very strange with permissions. A package that doesn't require elevated privileges can be built fine without root. "Insecure URI" is about using http:// not https://. In this case, the https:// URL does not work -- so it's a deficiency of the webpage, not fixable without upstream's help. In your case, though, you may have a quite easy time contacting upstream. Note that this is not even a warning, merely a wishlist item. Likewise, autopkgtests are nice but I don't really see a way to make one for this package. > > > On Oct 7, 2019, at 01:25, Thomas Dettbarn <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Despite my best effords, there are still a handful of lintian warnings > > > left.
