Tag: ambiguous-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright
Severity: warning
Check: debian/copyright/dep5
Explanation: The paragraph has both License
and
Copyright
fields, but no Files
field. The paragraph
is technically valid according to the DEP 5 specification, but it is probably
a mistake.
.
If the paragraph is a "stand-alone" license paragraph, the Copyright
field is not needed. If it is, on the other hand, "files" paragraph, the
Files
field is missing.
.
The Files
field was at some point optional in some circumstances
but is now mandatory in all "files" paragraphs.
