Bug#870069: orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature error breaks rebuilding existing packages and more
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.52
Hi,
I think "error" is a rather unfortunate choice for the severity level of
"orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature".
* I have some (existing) packages uploaded on build.opensuse.org, and
they now fail to build for "Debian_Next" (buster). I'd rather avoid
modifying the upstream debian package just for this.
* I also generate snapshot builds automatically. These are (on purpose)
not signed with the "upstream key" - because they are automatically
generated.
I want to stay as close as possible to the debian package, and this
error makes this a lot harder.
I like the check, but would prefer to see it downgraded to a warning.
I already had to enable lintian manually for my build.opensuse.org
projects (I was told they disabled it because it broke too many builds
[1]); I'd prefer to keep it enabled at least for my projects.
cheers,
Stefan
