Bug#1099899: lintian test a feature that has been removed from CDBS (and was deprecated since 2010)
Package: lintian
Version: 2.121.1+nmu1
Severity: serious
Dear Lintian maintainers,
> 239s make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk'.
After carefull inspection of https://trends.debian.net/ and https://codesearch.debian.net/,
this feature from (deprecated) CDBS that had been deprecated since 2010 have
been finaly removed.
simple-patchsys usage is completely gone.
The lintian autopkgtest is now failing.
See it linked from here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cdbs
Please stop testing for /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk
The end goal is to continue to continue to slowly trim CDBS usage
and give remainder of this tool to Haskell team
who are the one main user left unless they have other/better plans.
Greetings
Alexandre Detiste
