Hi Gunnar, Thanks for the proposed patch and sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately it does not seem to work at first glance. Mind you, I only did a very quick test and I might have gotten the test wrong. Please consider providing a test case for it. On a related note, I think it would make more sense to move the check to checks/source-copyright.pm, since it got all the other DEP-5 related checks (and also because it is a source-package check rather than a binary-package check). Thanks for considering. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
