Tag: repackaged-source-not-advertised
Severity: info
Check: debian/copyright/dep5
Explanation: The <code>debian/copyright</code> file mentions <code>Files-Excluded</code>
but the source version has no repack suffix.
.
Repackaged sources are expected to indicate in their version number
that they are different from the upstream release. It is commonly
done by adding a repack suffix to the upstream version.
.
The choice of repack suffix depends on the reason for repackaging.
When some files were excluded because licensing was a concern, the
suffix <code>+dfsg</code> may be appropriate. In more generic cases, one
could chose <code>+ds</code>.
.
Upstream sources are sometimes repackaged by accident when using old
versions of <code>dh_make</code>. It can also happen when a maintainer
invokes the dh_make option <code>--createorig</code> even though it is
not needed.
.
According to the Debian Developer's Reference 6.7.8.2, the repack
suffix is not required.
.
Please include such a suffix in the changelog version number to avoid
this warning.
