Bug#718862: composer-package-without-pkg-php-tools-builddep should not be a warning
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.15
Severity: normal
Hi,
Lintian 2.5.15 added a number of tests related to pkg-php-tools.
The test "composer-package-without-pkg-php-tools-builddep" displays
a warning on every package containing a composer.json file.
This seems over the top to me. My PHP application has functional
packaging developed over the years and I see no urgent need to
throw it away and rebuild it in pkh-php-tools just because upstream
also ships a composer.json.
I would recommend to flag this as "info" at best. In general,
I would also advise to add new tests as "experimental" initially.
Cheers,
Thijs
