Package: lintian Version: 2.111.0 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: npm2...@packages.debian.org
npm2deb converts node/npm packages to Debian source packages, in the process it leaves FIX_ME items and template info in various places in the Debian source package for the maintainer to clean up before upload. Sometimes these FIX_ME items even get past the NEW queue (for example node-winston). I looked at the npm2deb source code and found several strings that need to be checked for. There may be some more strings that I missed though. Note that the description_template string could contain an upstream_description string, so you will need to check for the prefix and suffix instead of the whole string. PS: I wonder if there should be a standard prefix for all template strings that all packaging tools could use in their templates or template strings and then lintian could just check for that prefix. https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticPackagingTools npm2deb/__init__.py: self.debian_license = "FIX_ME debian license" self.debian_author = 'FIX_ME debian author' args['Description'] = 'FIX_ME write the Debian package description' self.upstream_license = "FIX_ME upstream license" self.upstream_version = 'FIX_ME version' self.upstream_description = 'FIX_ME no upstream package description' result = 'FIX_ME upstream author' result = 'FIX_ME repo url' npm2deb/templates.py: description_template = """ Write the short and long descriptions for the Debian package as explained in the Developer's Reference, §6.2.1 – §6.2.3. . You can start with the short upstream package description, “%(upstream_description)s”. . Be aware that most upstream package descriptions are not written to conform with Debian package guidelines. You need to explain the role of this package for a Debian audience. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine. """ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
