Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: minor
Hi, I've just been warned about lib-recommends-documentation on two packages
called:
libcore-ocaml-dev
libcore-extended-ocaml-dev
According to the tag description the warning should not be triggered, as the
two packages are in fact development libraries which should recommend the
documentation needed to program against them. Runtime libraries (libcore-ocaml
and libcore-extended-ocaml) on the contrary should of course have no such
recommends.
Looking very briefly at the code of the test, it seems to me that it explicitly
consider a trailing -dev as something that should trigger the warning, while
AFAICT -dev is exactly a suffix that should inhibit the warning to be
triggered.
Many thanks for maintaining lintian!
Cheers.

Lintian 2.2.18 (uploaded earlier today) exempts packages with names
ending -dev or -doc from this check, so I'm marking the bug as fixed in
that version.

Thanks :)
