Tag: patch-system-but-no-source-readme
Severity: warning
Check: debian/patches
Explanation: This package build-depends on a patch system such as dpatch or
quilt, but there is no debian/README.source
file. This file is
recommended for any package where dpkg-source -x
does not result
in the preferred form for making modifications to the package.
.
If you are using quilt and the package needs no other special handling
instructions, you may want to add a debian/README.source
referring to /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source
. Similarly, you
can refer to /usr/share/doc/dpatch/README.source.gz
for dpatch.
