Bug#896010: lintian: FP for source-contains-empty-directory if directory isn't listed with trailing slash
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.82
Severity: normal
While prepping the 1.10.0-1 subversion upload, I noticed that lintian
flagged every single directory in the upstream tarball with
"source-contains-empty-directory".
Comparing this to other tarballs I have available, it appears this is
due to the fact that tar doesn't show a trailing slash for the
directories.
$ tar -tavf subversion_1.10.0.orig.tar.gz | grep '^d.*1.10.0/build'
