 Solution 1 is probably better for now.

I think it would be good, assuming that the tests are good (not too many
false positives in particular), to include it in lintian and enable it
by default.  However, it should be completely silent if it encounters a
copyright file which is not in the format.

It would be nice to have checks for people who use the format, but
people who don't shouldn't be bothered with it.  Since people want
lintian to be completely silent when things are good, even an I: tag
should be considered too loud.

Thanks,
Bas

Hi,

This is version 2.
The path are now: /usr/share/lintian/lib/Lintian/Parser/Copyright.pm,
/usr/share/lintian/checks/copyright-specification and
/usr/share/lintian/checks/copyright-specification.desc

Thanks Frank and Russ for your comments.

I don't know how to mark as experimental. What is the best solution ?
- keep in the bts only
- put into lintian, disabled by default (enabled with some environment
variable like LINTIAN_COPYRIGHT_PROPOSAL=1)
- put in lintian, as experimental/debug

Solution 1 is probably better for now.

Mathieu
