Do those files need to be left unstripped for some reason? > This is just not bearable.

(This is particularly the case with the 3.0 format, where those changes will end up as a monster patch combined with any other changes made directly in the package.) I'll be more explicit about that now and tag 471263 as wontfix; there are some edge cases for which we may change Lintian's behavior, but the basic point of not having the autotools regeneration diff outside the patch system is a place where I don't think Lintian should change. > and one for every line deemed too long in debian/copyright for every > binary package. Please turn the noise down, at least by default. Why don't you just rewrap the license that you currently have wrapped at 90 columns? I may be missing something, but it really is looking like you're complaining that Lintian is noisy when run on a buggy package, rather than just fixing the (minor) bugs that it's detecting. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
