Package: lintian
Version: 2.122.0
Severity: normal
Dear maintainers,
While packaging composefs for Debian (Bug #1100914), lintian gave me the
following informational warning:
I: composefs source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright lgpl-2.1+
and gpl-2+ or apache-2 and gpl-2 or apache-2 [debian/copyright:8]
My debian/copyright (see [1]) includes License paragraphs in several Files
stanzas as well as one summarizing the packaging terms of the project as a whole
in the Header stanza. This is according to the DEP-5 spec [2]:
"The Copyright and License fields in the header stanza may complement but do
not replace the fields in the Files stanzas. If present, they summarise the
copyright notices or redistribution terms for the package as a whole."
[1]:
https://salsa.debian.org/rohieb/composefs/-/blob/2f1d3d15411a2459fd/debian/copyright
[2]:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#header-stanza
Apparently the additional License paragraph in the Header stanza is confusing
lintian (or I'm not understanding the spec correctly, please inform me if this
is the case :-))
Thanks,
- Roland
