Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I'm working with Java/Maven packages, that use maven-debian-helper to
manage the build process. maven-debian-helper is used also for the clean
target, so needs to be in Build-Depends (and not in
Build-Depends-Indep). But Lintian says:
I: freehep-chartableconverter-plugin source:
build-depends-without-arch-dep maven-debian-helper
N:
N: The control file lists the given package in Build-Depends, but no
N: architecture-dependent packages are built. If all the packages
built are
N: architecture-independent, the only packages that should be listed in
N: Build-Depends are those required to run the clean target (such as
N: debhelper if you use dh_clean). Other build dependencies should be
N: listed in Build-Depends-Indep instead.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 7.7 (Relationships between
source
N: and binary packages - Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep,
N: Build-Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Indep) for details.
N:
N: Severity: minor, Certainty: possible
N:
I think maven-debian-helper should be considered by lintian acceptable
in Build-Depends.
Thanks, Giovanni.
