Thanks. It is always nice to work with someone who wants to improve their package.
And its rewarding to create something that others find useful.
If you go back through the emails on Mentors for the past several months you will see there are several times where lrc indicated a problem that was claimed to be a false positive (probably around 25% of the time lrc detected an issue). I didn’t verify those myself, but my guess that in at least some cases lrc was indeed incorrect.
I have noticed some comments, and fixed three issues back in July. Best of course if folks raise bug reports, so issues are missed.
In terms of using it as part of an automated CI pipeline, it would be valuable if there were some way to override false positives, similar to lintian overrides. That way, the check could still be run (detecting new issues) against packages that have known false positives.
Excellent idea, and could be used for your svg files. Maybe an optional file like debian/licenserecon-excluded-files, that just lists the files to be excluded from the check. Regards. Peter P.S. Timing isn't great here, as I shall be busy the next few weeks. I hope to have new release(s) out in September.
