I just took a look and we are nearly there!!! The last beast is debian/copyright IMHO. What you do at the top of debian/copyright is this: ``` Files: * Copyright: 2003-2015, Jay Sorg License: Apache-2.0 ```This actually white-lists all files as Apache-2.0 with the given copyright holder except the files explicitly mentioned further down.
Such a placeholder block covering for all files is ok, if it is correct.But, well, it is not: e.g. common/fifo.c. That file is not mentioned further below in debian/copyright, and it has another copyright holder as given in the top placeholder statement.
(Personally, I think that file lines with placeholders are a very bad idea over all, because you cannot use lintian to track additions and removals of files in later upstream releases).
...So, I presume, there are more such issues in debian/copyright. (I did not bother looking any further.)
...
What I did instead ist this:
o generate a debian/copyright.in file with this [1] one-liner
(requires pkgs licensecheck and cdbs installed)
o fix the current debian/copyright layout (see my commit on that)
Both commits have been pushed to Git.
As a training task, please do this:
o remove the above quoted placeholder white-list block
o run debuild -uc -us -S -Zxz and let lintian provide you
with files not mentioned anymore in debian/copyright
o go over the debian/copyright.in and merge information from
there into debian/copyright
o run debuild -uc -us -S -Zxz and let lintian provide you
with files _still_ not mentioned in debian/copyright
o add those remaining files manually
This is hard work and unfortunately daily business of a DD (which you
will probably gonna be some day).
Thanks for all your work on this!!! Mike[1] licensecheck --copyright -r `find * -type f` | /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 > debian/copyright.in
