Tag: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc
Severity: info
Check: documentation
Explanation: This package ships a documentation file outside /usr/share/doc
Documentation files are normally installed inside /usr/share/doc
.
.
If this file doesn't describe the contents or purpose of the directory
it is in, please consider moving this file to /usr/share/doc/
or maybe even removing it. If this file does describe the contents
or purpose of the directory it is in, please add a lintian override.
Screen: python/egg/metadata
Advocates: Scott Kitterman
Reason: The folders XXX.dist-info/
and XXX.egg-info/
hold metadata for Python modules. Those files are not documentation even though
some of their names carry the .txt
file extension.
.
Python modules can be both public and private.
