Package: lintian Version: 1.23.19 Severity: wishlist I just got a FTBFS report for one or my packages, which uses brace expansion in debian/rules:
> install -m0644 exscalibar-1.0.4/src/{geddei,qtextra,remote/rgeddei}/*.a \ > /build/buildd/exscalibar-1.0.4/debian/tmp/usr/lib > install: cannot stat > `exscalibar-1.0.4/src/{geddei,qtextra,remote/rgeddei}/*.a': No such file or > directory > make: *** [install-arch] Error 1 It would be nice if lintian could check for those. I'm not sure if the problem is that makefiles like debian/rules are not checked for bashisms, or that {}-expansion is not detected as a bashism yet (or possibly both). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.9 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.41-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.13.18 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.34.2+20060415 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchang 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5- 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
