Package: lintian Version: 1.23.17 Severity: wishlist When dh_make'ing a "single binary" package, the lintian does not seem to notice if the package's Makefile does not install the binaries to /usr/bin hierarchy. An exmaple, after checking the contant of generated *.deb:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:38 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:33 ./usr/bin/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:33 ./usr/sbin/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2006-04-23 20:23:37 ./usr/share/doc/miwm/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 2640 2003-06-23 17:47:23 ./usr/share/doc/miwm/notes.txt -rw-r--r-- root/root 1058 2006-04-23 20:20:56 ./usr/share/doc/miwm/copyright -rw-r--r-- root/root 187 2006-04-23 20:18:16 ./usr/share/doc/miwm/changelog.Debia - FEATURE REQUEST If package is labelled binary and not library and it contains a /usr/bin hierarhy, lintian could issue a warning that "/usr/bin is empty" -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) 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".
