* Helmut Grohne , 2011-12-08, 11:13: This is the current message for unversioned-copyright-format-uri: N: N:Format URI of the machine-readable copyright file is not versioned. N: N:Please use N:http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?revision= as the format URI instead. N: N:Refer to http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ for details. N: N:Severity: pedantic, Certainty: possible N: N:Check: source-copyright, Type: source N: However dep5.mdwn no longer exists. It apparently got replaced with a directory. So the information given here is wrong. Yes, this is unfortunate. I therefore suggest removing the faulty sentence. (No information is better than wrong information.) I tend to agree that until there's a sane scheme for format versioning, lintian should not suggest any URI. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: minor This is the current message for unversioned-copyright-format-uri: N: N:Format URI of the machine-readable copyright file is not versioned. N: N:Please use N:http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?revision= as the format URI instead. N: N:Refer to http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ for details. N: N:Severity: pedantic, Certainty: possible N: N:Check: source-copyright, Type: source N: However dep5.mdwn no longer exists. It apparently got replaced with a directory. So the information given here is wrong. According to an irc discussion on #debian-devel there currently is no universally correct way of specifying a Format header. Also see a message from Lars Wirzenius on this issue: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/09/msg00084.html. I therefore suggest removing the faulty sentence.
