Package: lintian

Hi.  Lintian complains about gsasl -- see 
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-xmpp-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#gsasl

E: gsasl source: source-is-missing doc/cyclo/cyclo-gsasl.html line
length is 567 characters (>512)

    The source of the following file is missing. Lintian checked a few
possible paths to find the source, and did not find it.

    Please repack your package to include the source or add it to
"debian/missing-sources" directory.

    If this is a false-positive, please report a bug against Lintian.

    Please note, that insane-line-length-in-source-file tagged files
are likely tagged source-is-missing. It is a feature not a bug.

    Severity: serious, Certainty: possible

    Check: cruft, Type: source

However the file is generated by upstream rules that uses pmccabe (from
Debian) and pmccabe2html (from gnulib), see:

https://salsa.debian.org/xmpp-team/gsasl/blob/master/doc/cyclo/Makefile.am

https://salsa.debian.org/xmpp-team/gsasl/blob/master/lib/build-aux/pmccabe2html

As such, I believe this is a false positive, and I'm reporting it as
such.  I'll tell lintian to ignore this error for gsasl, unless you
tell me I'm mistaken somehow.

Hi Simon,

> length is 567 characters (>512)

Whilst this is a false positive I don't think Lintian could ever
really determine that it is generated by the the package itself.
Therefore, please add an override with a suitably detailed comment to
your package.

Thanks for reporting and caring about Lintian.


Best wishes,
