That is true James. Technically, if I recall correctly, packages should be lintian clean before being uploaded to the repositories. For warnings/errors that do not matter, you can override them. However, there are many packages that have been uploaded that are not lintian clean. The question is, should we allow this bad practice to continue, or should we enforce that packages be lintian clean? I have a feeling that new contributors will not care much either way, but that certain developers will have an issue with requiring that all packages be lintian clean (or have an override). -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
