Hello,
A simple "and" or "or" conjunction as described on [1] is not accepted by lrc, although I would guess that an "or" conjunction would be correct. I will check if other packages have that file too and how they solved the situation.1. lrc has a lot of problems with AND/OR license combinations. I often have to use debian/lrc.config to tell it not to worry about these files once I have verified they are correct. For example:
Thanks for that hint! I've added a similar file for me now.
2. debian/copyright does not accept “and/or” as a valid conjoiner for licenses. It is either “and” or “or”. Some things outside of Debian use the “and/or” syntax, by which they mean that you can pick either license. That is the same meaning as “or”, do Debian just uses “or”.
Weird: the tool is made to check the "DEP-5 debian/copyright" file just to use a syntax, which are not common in Debian?
Many thanks for the hint again. Hilmar -- sigfault
