Bug#897082: lintian: Please do not warn about debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri for ftp:// URIs
Package: lintian
Severity: normal
Hi,
lintian is warning (rather "informing") about insecure URIs when ftp is
used. For instance the package seaview gets:
I: seaview source: debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri ftp://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/mol_phylogeny/seaview/archive/seaview_(.*)\.tar\.gz
Since there is no anonymous secure ftp this info is not very helpful IMHO.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lintian
Andreas.
