Bug#462586: lintian: Please don't no-description-in-changes-file for source-only .changes
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
since dpkg-dev is moving quite quickly these days, I postponed its
upgrade, and only hit today the following:
| E: graphviz_2.16.1-1_source.changes: no-description-in-changes-file
Since dpkg/1.14.16, we have:
| * Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation
| of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more
| have Description fields.
I presume it'dbe safe to turn off this check when checking a source-only
upload (if you don't detect source-only uploads yet, I guess that the
/_source.changes$/ pattern should do the job.
Cheers,
