[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1131310: Debian NEW review note for prjxray 0.1.3356.gc9f02d85+~db20211214.g0a0added-1

[Simon Richter]

Hi,

They are excluded from the first .orig archive *because* they are 
provided from the second. The database repository provides the most 
recently generated files, these aren't merged back into the main repo.

In principle these should be removed from the main repo, so I'm doing the 
next best thing. I'm also excluding the subprojects that are needed only 
for running the fuzzer.

> And the Lintian warnings are overridden

Yes, that is a false positive. Lintian should check .orig.tar.* against 
Files-Excluded, and .orig-database.tar.* against Files-Excluded-database, 
but it appears to check the unpacked tree against Files-Excluded, which 
is wrong.
