Bug#886343: lintian: missing-notice-file-for-apache-license false positives
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.67
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
My package won the
E: shibboleth-sp2 source: missing-notice-file-for-apache-license doc/NOTICE.txt
Lintian error even though all its binary packages carry NOTICE.txt due to
dh_installdocs -A doc/NOTICE.txt [...]
Looking at the Lintian code, it checks for ^NOTICE(\.gz)?$ only:
https://sources.debian.org/src/lintian/2.5.67/checks/source-copyright.pm/?hl=168#L168
but my NOTICE.txt is too small to be compressed by dh_compress and has
.txt extension anyway. Do you agree that this should be relaxed?
