Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

 Vcswatch(*) is nice but it detects failure _after_ uploaded packages to
 repository. I hope if lintian could have same feature like below one.

 "Error: The Vcs URL git://git.debian.org/pkg-nlp-ja/mecab-naist-jdic.git is 
  deprecated/defunct, git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-nlp-ja/mecab-naist-jdic.git
  was tried instead. Please update the Vcs field in debian/control."

 Just checking Vcs-Git field and warn for using "git.debian.org"
 (and maybe svn.debian.org for Vcs-Svn as well).

Hey Hideki,

Great to hear from you :)  I hope this finds you well...

Alas, this is thus outside the scope of Lintian. Even if we wanted
to permit accessing the internet (!) it would be a non-determinstic
test as — of course — the internet can up or down & the idea of
tests that are sometimes there and sometimes not.


Best wishes,
