Looking forward to it. You can use it today, just git clone and put a symlink to it in $PATH. > I'm missing license-reconcile here which checks licensecheck's output > against debian/copyright (and seems to can do some more stuff). There is licensecheck2dep5 in cdbs but I doubt that is a viable path to fully automatic comparison between source files and debian/copyright. Indeed I'm not sure such a thing is feasible since the source can be incorrect and debian/copyright could contain licensing emails. > Maybe "isutf8" from the package moreutils could also provide some > useful checks. I've though just filed a bug against lintian (#780180) > to do some more UTF-8 checks, so this may be superfluous soonish. I had a check for that in the predecessor to check-all-the-things (a very ugly shell script) that ran isutf8 with a list of extensions to ignore but that was a bit unmaintainable. It is on the TODO to replace it. It would be nice if isutf8 had a recursive mode that could ignore binary files but I haven't filed a bug about it yet. https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian#Check_points_for_any_package -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
