Package: lintian Version: 2.99.0 Severity: wishlist Go library packages bundle their own test suites, which may include arbitrary data files; these files are always in a nested subdirectory of /usr/share/gocode named “testdata”. Lintian should ignore such files. I tripped over this as a false positive for package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc, but it could easily cause false positives in many other tags.
AIUI, these files can’t be moved somewhere else or it won’t be possible to run the test suite against the installed library. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.35.1-2 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii diffstat 1.63-1 ii dpkg 1.20.5 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.5 ii file 1:5.38-5 ii gettext 0.21-0.1 ii gpg 2.2.20-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b3 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b5 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.24-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.24-1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.5 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b2 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004002-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b5 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.004000-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.114-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b6 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.59-2 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b7 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.12-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b2 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.010006-1 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b1 ii liburi-perl 5.05-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.82+repack-1 ii lzip 1.21-8 ii lzop 1.04-1 ii man-db 2.9.3-2 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.30.3-4 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-25 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 lintian recommends no packages.
