Description : Reconcile debian/copyright licenses against licensecheck output
Uses licensecheck to determine file licences and,
if not 'UNKNOWN', checks them against Dep5 debian/copyright.
Is intended as a partial replacement for license-reconcile (removed in 2019).
I use this package for checking debian/copyright in other packages I maintain.
Will need a sponsor.
From the man page;
===================================================================================
lrc
DESCRIPTION
Lrc parses a valid DEP-5 copyright file and notes the licenses of files in the source tree. Licensecheck is then
run, and
the results compared. Differences between licenses in debian/copyright and the output of licensecheck are reported.
It should be run in the top level of a cleaned Debian source tree, with a valid DEP-5 copyright file. The
source tree
should be clean, otherwise results will be contaminated by spurious reports on the build's generated
files. It is
advisable to run lintian first to ensure correct syntax of debian/copyright.
The results are indicative only, and not a substitute for manual checking. It is intended to report obvious
errors. The
design intends to minimise false positives as much as is practical. However, false positives will occur if the
spelling
of the license short-string is not identical between the file and debian/copyright. This is quite likely
with complex
licensing such as 'and'/'or' constructs and specific exceptions.
Only files with a copyright header are checked. False negatives may occur if licensecheck cannot determine
a file's
license. Files named copyright, copying, readme etc. are not checked as they often specify the licenses of
other files
rather than their own.
EXIT CODES
0: No differences found
1: Failure to run (no debian/copyright etc)
3: License differences found
