I should have been more specific about how I plan to fix the mentioned
issues. Actually I do want to fix _all_ wiki-copyright-format-uri
issues, but only those missing-license-text-in-dep5-copyright which
resulted from the change from "|" to "or" in the specification.
Files: bla
License: Artistic | GPL-1+
^
License: Artistic
foo
License: GPL-1+
bar
triggers missing-license-text-in-dep5-copyright and
unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright (IIRC, at least something
similar) after wiki-copyright-format-uri has been fixed, because the
correct form afterwards is:
Files: bla
License: Artistic or GPL-1+
^^
License: Artistic
foo
License: GPL-1+
bar
That's the only way I plan to fix
missing-license-text-in-dep5-copyright and
unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright lintian warnings.
Actually "cme fix dpkg-copyright" already does that perfectly.
If those lintian warnings are caused by other means (i.e. may be real
mistakes), I don't plan to fix that with mass-commits. That'd be
insane. :-)
Regards, Axel
