source-contains-cmake-cache-file

This package ships a CMake cache file.

These files embed source paths from when they were built. They will cause build failures when the source is subsequently built under different paths.

They always cause errors on the buildds.

The file was probably included by accident. If it came with the upstream sources, please delete it before building in debian/rules.

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 2.114.0 release tag in our Git repository.

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit d219a5a. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check build-systems/cmake.
