Bug#736360: lintian: do not warn about doxygen embedding jquery
* Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>, 2014-02-03, 13:33:
Security is not the only issue here. jquery.js created by Doxygen is
minified, so there's a risk that we ship it without source.
Thanks for highlighting the issue. Fortunately we already have a tool
to work around this issue. It is called Built-Using. Last time I
checked whether (dh_)doxygen should be simplifying the process of
adding the Built-Using headers, I achieved no consensus on the value of
such a change and discussion on what Built-Using is supposed to mean
was still ongoing. If there is consensus now, we can use that tool to
address this particular issue.
Do you think that this would adequately address the availability of
source?
Yes.
Do you happen to have an alternative proposal in mind?
Well, the simpler alternative is to make doxygen use unminified JS.
