Bug#974175: Exempt dh_elpa-related packages from executable-in-usr-lib
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Control: submitter -1 David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>
X-Debbugs-CC: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>
04:21 < bremner> hmm. so I think executable-in-usr-lib is a false
positive for everything in usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages
04:22 < bremner> at least, it's not going to change any time soon.
03:20 < bremner> lechner: re the discussion of the other day, the
latest upload of tpp contains "* Add lintian override for
executable-in-usr-lib due to dh_elpa scripts."
03:52 < lechner> bremner: how many packages are affected? we would
like to provide group overrides in the future
04:10 < bremner> lechner: about 400, I think
04:10 < bremner> (all rdepends of emacsen-common, afaict)
04:44 < lechner> bremner: please do not bother adding them. i will
provide another way. is there a pattern to the tag context
(previously also called the 'extra')?
05:10 < bremner> lechner: if I understand you correctly, I guess you
mean usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages in " elpa-notmuch:
executable-in-usr-lib
usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/elpa-notmuch" ?
05:38 < lechner> bremner: yes, that was it. let me give that some
thought. i'll use this as a template together with Depends:
emacsen-common
https://lintian.debian.org/sources/tpp/1.3.1-7.html
05:39 < bremner> lechner: makes sense. FWIW, the depends might not be
explicit in the source package, but in the binary package
05:49 < lechner> bremner: you will probably tell me if its wrong :)
this will be implemented as a filter before tags are printed
so all the exemptions are in one place (and people
can think of ways to maybe get rid of them). i was only going
to look at the installation packages. intra-group
tags are not reproducible unless all pieces are present
