Bug#709139: lintian: add debian/copyright check for Debian copyright owwners
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.5
Severity: wishlist
The new Copyright Format 1.0 lists Debian copyrights in stanza:
Files: debian/*
Copyright:
2006-2011 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
1998-2000, 2002-2004 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
License: LGPL-2+
It's easy to miss listing people that have worked with the package and
own the Copyright too:
# Roughly something like this
$ cd ace-of-penguins/debian
$ awk '/ -- .*>/ {printf("%d %s %s %s\n", $(NF - 2), $2, $3,$4)}' changelog |
sort -ru
2013 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2012 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2011 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2010 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2010 Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>
2009 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2006 Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
2005 dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>
2005 Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>
2004 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
2003 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
2002 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
2001 Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de>
2000 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
1999 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
1998 Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org>
Please consider adding a check that would parse the people from "--"
lines of debian/changelog and see that they are listed in
debian/copyright.
