Lintian ReportsBETA

initial-upload-closes-no-bugs

This package appears to be the first packaging of a new upstream software package (there is only one changelog entry and the Debian revision is 1), but it does not close any bugs. The initial upload of a new package should close the corresponding ITP bug for that package.

This warning can be ignored if the package is not intended for Debian or if it is a split of an existing Debian package.

For more information please consult:

  • New packages (Section 5.1) in the Debian Developer's Reference

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163. That is the most recent version we know about.
