Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl Version: 2.069 Severity: normal I've been using scan-copyrights a lot recently for packaging. It's great - thank you! However it doesn't always notice things. Here is an example.
I ran scan-copyrights on ros-roslisp (this is a new package so won't be in the archive for some days after this bugrep, but can be found at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/ros-roslisp ). It should go in the NEW queue today. This correctly catalogued the copyrights in the python file, but none of the list files e.g in rosbuild/scripts/genmg_listp.py it found: # Copyright (c) 2009, Willow Garage, Inc. but in s-xml-rpc/src/base64.lisp ;;;; Copyright (C) 2002, 2004 Sven Van Caekenberghe, Beta Nine BVBA. and ;;;; You are granted the rights to distribute and use this software ;;;; as governed by the terms of the Lisp Lesser General Public License ;;;; (http://opensource.franz.com/preamble.html), also known as the LLGPL. are not spotted. Now if I use licensecheck manually with a changed -c regex: licensecheck -r -c=* --copyright * It notices the copyrights in the list files: s-xml-rpc/test/test-base64.lisp: UNKNOWN [Copyright: 2002, 2004 Sven Van Caekenberghe, Beta Nine BVBA] But it still fails to grok the licence. Can scan-copyrights call licencecheck in such a way that it looks look in more (all?) files by default? Or perhaps this bugreport should be directed to licensecheck to make the default more comprehensive. Really I want a tool like this to look in everything it can (not just code and docs: graphics and test files too). Missing things entirely is much worse than false positives I can check and weed out. If it can't reliably find nearly all the licence and copyright notices in the tree then it doesn't really help much as I still have to look in every damn file myself, by hand. Thanks for anything you can do to make this more useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armhf Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages libconfig-model-dpkg-perl depends on: ii devscripts 2.15.8 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b3 ii libarray-intspan-perl 2.003-1 ii libconfig-model-perl 2.074-1 ii libexporter-lite-perl 0.06-1 ii liblog-log4perl-perl 1.44-1 ii libmouse-perl 2.4.5-1 ii libparse-recdescent-perl 1.967013+dfsg-1 ii libsoftware-license-perl 0.103010-4 ii libtext-autoformat-perl 1.730000-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-damerau-perl 0.41-1 ii liburi-perl 1.69-1 ii libwww-perl 6.13-1 ii lintian 2.5.38 ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii perl-modules [libmodule-corelist-perl] 5.20.2-6 Versions of packages libconfig-model-dpkg-perl recommends: ii libconfig-model-tkui-perl 1.350-1 libconfig-model-dpkg-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
