Bug#372578: also check debian/rules for bashisms
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.19
Severity: wishlist
I just got a FTBFS report for one or my packages, which uses brace
expansion in debian/rules:
> install -m0644 exscalibar-1.0.4/src/{geddei,qtextra,remote/rgeddei}/*.a \
> /build/buildd/exscalibar-1.0.4/debian/tmp/usr/lib
> install: cannot stat `exscalibar-1.0.4/src/{geddei,qtextra,remote/rgeddei}/*.a': No such file or directory
> make: *** [install-arch] Error 1
It would be nice if lintian could check for those. I'm not sure if
the problem is that makefiles like debian/rules are not checked for
bashisms, or that {}-expansion is not detected as a bashism yet (or
possibly both).
