Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.31
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I'm getting the following warnings for one of my packages:
W: phpgedview source: source-contains-CVS-dir
places/IDN/CVS
W: phpgedview-places binary: package-contains-CVS-dir
usr/share/phpgedview/www/places/IDN/CVS/
While I can and will handle the second one inside the
packaging, making sure
that it doesn't get installed, I'm not so sure about the
first one.
I've reported it upstream, but they haven't released a new
version in ages. It
seems to me I have the following options:
1) Repack upstream source;
2) Add an override.
Both are not appropriate in my opinion: I shouldn't repack
the source for
removing one dir, and adding an override for this doesn't
seem right since
it's a real bug(let), but not in the packaging.
To me it seems more logical to make the test of 'info'
level. You cannot
always influence what upstream does and repacking for this
is not
appropriate. It's just something you should send upstream,
but no more.
