maintainer-script-empty
The named maintainer script does not appear to contain code
other than comments or boilerplate such as set -e
,
exit
statements, or a case
statement
to parse options.
While harmless in most cases, it is not needed. The package may also leave
files behind until purged, and can contribute to rare problems when
dpkg
fails because no maintainer scripts are present.
Please do not ship the maintainer script unless it does something useful.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163
.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.112.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit 25e9483. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check maintainer-scripts/empty.
