Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.79
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Last week I started to prepare a new package for inclusion in Buster.
Unfortunately, lintian reports 18 warnings on the following valid udev
rules file:
https://github.com/knxd/knxd/blob/master/debian/knxd.udev
Line 22 sends everything except subsystem "usb" to "knxd_end", so in
lines
23-62 the subsystem is clearly defined. Nevertheless, lintian warns
about
every other line in the range 26-60:
W: knxd: udev-rule-missing-subsystem
lib/udev/rules.d/60-knxd.rules:26
vendor/product matching missing SUBSYSTEM specifier
[...]
W: knxd: udev-rule-missing-subsystem
lib/udev/rules.d/60-knxd.rules:60
vendor/product matching missing SUBSYSTEM specifier
Currently lintian remembers the last goto rule it encounters and checks
whether that was a subsystem goto rule on every device rule it
processes.
Unfortunately, this approach requires the subsystem goto rule to be the
last one right before the device rules. However, there is another goto
rule between these in the affected udev file, therefore lintian does not
recognize this situation.
Please pull the patch including updated test case to catch this from my
fork:
https://salsa.debian.org/dallmair-guest/lintian.git, branch
udev-rules-subsystem-goto
Thanks.
-Thomas
