Bug#701477: lintian: Should it support XDG?
* Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>, 2013-04-01, 19:57:
(Although I wonder why loading File::BaseDir is guarded by eval.
libfile-basedir-perl is in Depends, so there's no reason for the
import to fail. Or am I missing something?)
Well, it wasn't added to Build-Depends.
Oh, right. Perhaps add a comment explaining it, e.g. something like
this:
# File::BaseDir might not be available at build time
?
Perhaps a graceful solution to this would be to have use
of--root/LINTIAN_ROOT imply --no-user-dirs. Given the primary use for
these options are/will be to test/develop Lintian, user directories (by
default) will probably just be in the way?
Sounds good to me.
