Control: reassign -1 lintian
Control: retitle -1 lintian: Do not recommend MAINT_OPTIONS for nocheck
Hi,
Revisiting this, I think the bug is that lintian blindly recommended
DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS for when you set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck in
debian/rules.
As it is, DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS is only for dpkg-buildflags despite
its similarity with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (which is *also* used by other
tools). When lintian detects DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS being set in
debian/rules, it should recommend to use DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS only
for things that dpkg-buildflags cares about and other means for other
flags (e.g., nocheck => override_dh_auto_test for dh packages).
Thanks,
~Niels
