Package: licenserecon Version: 11.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
According to the comment in /usr/share/lrc/lrc.config: > # Directories identified by trailing slash / > # Entire contents will be (recursively) excluded. > debian/patches/ directories listed in debian/lrc.config should be excluded recursively. In practice, only files directly in the listed directory are excluded, files in subdirectories are not. Here is a minimal example to reproduce the issue: ────────────────────────────────────────────────── File: ./debian/copyright ────────────────────────────────────────────────── Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Files: examples/* License: Expat ────────────────────────────────────────────────── ────────────────────────────────────────────────── File: ./debian/lrc.config ────────────────────────────────────────────────── examples/ ────────────────────────────────────────────────── ────────────────────────────────────────────────── File: ./examples/subdir/foo ────────────────────────────────────────────────── // SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── ────────────────────────────────────────────────── File: ./examples/foo ────────────────────────────────────────────────── // SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── Running lrc in this directory produces: en: Versions: licenserecon '11.0' licensecheck '3.3.9-1ubuntu2' Parsing Source Tree .... Reading d/copyright .... Missing Files: Paragraph for debian/ Running licensecheck .... d/copyright | licensecheck Expat | Apache-2.0 examples/subdir/foo The file 'examples/foo' is ignored as expected, but the file in the subdirectory is not. It would be very helpful if lrc could actually ignore directories recursively. Cheers, Adrian
