Bug#552576: live-installer: no-standards-version-field
Package: live-installer
Version: 13
Severity: serious
User: lintian-maint@debian.org
Usertags: no-standards-version-field
The source package does not have a Standards-Version control
field. Please update your package to latest Policy and set this
control field appropriately.
Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.11 (Standards-Version) for
details.
,----[ 4.1. Standards conformance ]
| Source packages should specify the most recent version number of this
| policy document with which your package complied when it was last
| updated.
|
| This information may be used to file bug reports automatically if your
| package becomes too much out of date.
|
| The version is specified in the `Standards-Version' control field.
| The format of the `Standards-Version' field is described in Section
| 5.6.11, ``Standards-Version''.
|
| You should regularly, and especially if your package has become out of
| date, check for the newest Policy Manual available and update your
| package, if necessary. When your package complies with the new
| standards you should update the `Standards-Version' source package
| field and release it.
`----
,----[ 5.6.11. `Standards-Version' ]
| The most recent version of the standards (the policy manual and
| associated texts) with which the package complies.
`----
A missing standards version is a violation of a Should directive in
policy, and normally would be filed as important.
Filed as serious, since a package with these files will currently get
this package rejected. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html
for details. This means the package has been deemed too buggy to be in
Debian.
