Package: lintian Version: 1.23.15 Severity: wishlist Hi!
I think it would be nice if Lintian warned when a package that has only one changelog entry (thus --> Initial Release) does not include the closing of a bug (ITP). As per the Debian Developer's reference[1], "you must then submit a bug report (...) against the pseudo-package wnpp describing your plan to create a new package, including, but not limiting yourself to, a description of the package, the license of the prospective package, and the current URL where it can be downloaded from. " [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html The use of the word "must" indicates that it is somewhat compulsory to do the ITP (even if many developers don't do it). So I think it's a good idea to have a lintian check about this. Love, Marga. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
