+Tag: source-contains-waf-binary
+Severity: error
+Check: build-systems/waf
+Explanation: The source tarball contains a waf binary. This file is a Python
+ script with an embedded bzip2 archive, which is uncompressed and unpacked
+ at runtime.
+ .
+ Although corresponding sources can be easily extracted, FTP Team does not
+ consider waf binary as the preferred form of modification; it should be
+ provided unpacked instead, or completely removed, if possible.
+ .
+ You might want to follow these guidelines to obtain an unpacked waf:
