Bug#462586: lintian: Please don't no-description-in-changes-file for source-only .changes
Package: lintian Version: 1.23.42 Severity: wishlist Hi, since dpkg-dev is moving quite quickly these days, I postponed its upgrade, and only hit today the following: | E: graphviz_2.16.1-1_source.changes: no-description-in-changes-file Since dpkg/1.14.16, we have: | * Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation | of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more | have Description fields. I presume it'dbe safe to turn off this check when checking a source-only upload (if you don't detect source-only uploads yet, I guess that the /_source.changes$/ pattern should do the job.

Policy 5.5 says that Description is mandatory for all *.changes files, which is why the lintian tag. However, I agree that Description doesn't make much sense for source-only uploads, since there are no individual package descriptions in that case to lift into it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
