Tag: custom-compression-in-debian-source-options
Severity: warning
Check: debian/source-dir
Renamed-From: debian-source-options-has-custom-compression-settings
Explanation: This package selects a custom compression level or algorithm
in <code>debian/source/options</code>. Please remove the call and let
dpkg-deb(1) select suitable defaults.
.
Custom compression settings are usually chosen for one of two
reasons:
.
Higher compression levels or more advanced algorithms shrink the
sizes of large files, but they can cause problems in the resource
constrained environments used in Debian's buildd infrastructure.
For example, higher than expected memory consumption may trigger
an FTBFS or a failure to install.
.
Lower compression levels or less advanced algorithms are sometimes
needed to support older Debian version. Unfortunately, they also
make it harder to change the defaults on an archive-wide basis.
.
Some legitimate use cases trigger this tag. Please override it.
