Bug#905617: documentation or logic bug with "source-is-missing" check (+long lines)
Package: lintian
Severity: normal
Dear all,
Package crispy-doom triggers the source-is-missing check
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#crispy-doom
Specifically in relation to long lines, which is relevant I think
README.Crispy.htm line length is 1308 characters (>512)
README.Crispy.htm line length is 289 characters (>256)
This test did correctly catch the missing source issue, but I fixed it, at
least I tried to, using a mixture of the lintian documentation and reading the
source of the checks. I added the source at debian/missing-sources:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/crispy-doom/blob/master/debian/missing-sources/README.Crispy.htm.mediawiki
(for the file in question which is
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/crispy-doom/blob/master/README.Crispy.htm)
As far as I am able to tell, this should have addressed the issue, but the
check still fires. I've tried variations on the source filename (dropping the
.htm bit, dropping the .mediawiki bit, dropping both…) to no avail. Can someone
more expert than I with lintian's source please take a look: is either the test
wrong, or the docs? I tried and failed to trace the interaction between the
main source-is-missing check and the long-lines checks.
Thanks!
