Bug#670323: lintian: promote from I to W / vcs-field-uses-not-recommended-uri-format
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: normal
Currently this tag is labelled "I:"
vcs-field-uses-not-recommended-uri-format
I'd like to propose to promote it to "W:", because Vcs-* fields that use
developer specific URLs prevent downloading packages with:
debcheckout <package>
And example:
$ debcheckout weka
declared svn repository at svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/weka
svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/weka weka ...
svn: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from
'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
This effective renders debcheckout(1) unusable in these cases.
