Package: src:freeipa
version; 4.0.5-5
user: lintian-maint at debian.org
usertags: source-is-missing
severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: ftpmaster at debian.org
Hi,
Your package seems to include some files that lack sources
in prefered forms of modification:
O install/ui/util/build/build.js
O install/ui/src/libs/qrcode.js
O install/ui/src/libs/jquery.js
O install/ui/src/libs/bootstrap.js
O install/ui/build/dojo/dojo.js
Note that according to ftpmaster mininified javascript is not source.
According to Debian Free Software Guidelines [1] (DFSG) #2:
"The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
in source code as well as compiled form.".
This could also constitute a license violation for some copyleft licenses such
as the GNU GPL.
In order to solve this problem, you could:
1. repack the origin tarball adding the missing source to it.
2 add the source files to "debian/missing-sources" directory
Both way satisfies the requirement that we ship the source. Second option
might be preferable due to the following reasons [2]:
- Upstream can do it too and you could even supply a patch to them, thus full
filling our social contract [3], see particularly §2.
- If source and non-source are in different locations, ftpmasters may
miss the source and (needlessly) reject the package.
- The source isn't duplicated in every .diff.gz/.debian.tar.* (though
this only really matters for larger sources).
You could also ask debian-qa at lists.debian.org or #debian-qa for more
guidance.
