deb-check 0.1 uploaded to master.debian.org
hy.
i have rewritten my script to check debian packages in tcl and uploaded
it to master (deb-check_0.1_all.deb, will be placed into experimental).
- output goes to standart out, will be mailed to an email adress, or
(untested) to the Maintainer
- will check either directories or .deb files
reports warnings:
- usr/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.Debian.gz this file should exist
- usr/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.gz this file should exist
- usr/doc files > 10k, not .gz large files in usr/doc should be gzipped
- files/dirs not owned by root
- files/dirs not owned by group root
- dirs not mode 755
- files (non binaries, non shared lib) not mode 644 or 444
- files (binaries, shared lib) not mode 755
- non file/dir/symlinks (take care what you're doing !)
reports bugs:
- usr/doc/copyright (new policy: /usr/doc/PACKAGE/copyright)
- usr/doc/exapmles (new policy: /usr/doc/PACKAGE/exaples)
- usr/doc/PACKAGE this directory must exist
- usr/doc/PACKAGE/copyright this file must exist
- man pages, not .gz man pages must be gzipped
- info files, not .gz info files must be gzipped
- binary files w/out manpage each file must have a manpage (or link
to undocumented)
what shall be done now ? i have a lot of bug reports, but most are yust old
standard (usr/doc/copyright|examples), uncompressed man pages and
binary without manpage. should i forward all bugs to submit@bugs ?
what about sending "info mails" to all developers ? what about new
packages / updates ? everyone can check his own package, but a little
daemon can also send info messages whenever new packages are uploaded...
regards andreas
