Bug#898867: lintian: embedded-php-library libmarkdown-php vs. php-markdown confusion
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.86
Severity: normal
I am just updating the packaging of michelf/php-markdown as php-markdown
from 1.6 to 1.8 and got this warning from lintian:
W: php-markdown: embedded-php-library usr/share/php/Michelf/Markdown.php please use libmarkdown-php
Surprised, I discovered that we have *two* versions of the same
michelf/php-markdown source in Debian, libmarkdown-php being the
older 1.0 version.
Now, the 1.0 version allegedly has a feature in that it can be
used as Wordpress plugin or something, so perhaps this situation
is deliberate, but even so, shouldn’t the warning point to the
newer package or even better both?
Considering apt-cache rdepends libmarkdown-php shows zero packages
depending on it, perhaps the older 1.0 version can even be RM’d?
(Yes, php-markdown is also currently scheduled for removal, but
we’re taking it over with maintainer permission and upgrading it
as part of the process to package Movim for Debian so it will have
a user again.)
Cc’ing GCS as libmarkdown-php maintainer.
