Arch Linux User Repository

The dependencies here are incomplete. If you run into import errors, please send a patch adding the correct dependency.

Also need perl-class-xsaccessor as the runtime dependency.

perl-text-xslate is all that is left in AUR. That I can see.

I want you to understand a very important package to arch linux fixes errors.

Runtime dependency perl-text-xslate no longer exists.

Also some dependencies are broken (e.g. perl-moox-aliases fails in check() due to a missing checkdepend).

Please kindly verify all dependencies for workability, and address the missing dependency here.

Thank you in advance!

There's no upstream website for the moment. According to #debian-qa, it's a work-in-progress.

Additional runtime dependencies:

perl-term-readkey
perl-regexp-wildcards
perl-berkeleydb
perl-mldbm
perl-www-mechanize
perl-html-tokeparser-simple

Since lintian.debian.org is shutdown, I now need to use lintian-explain-tags for explanations. Here are some missing runtime dependencies I have found:

perl-text-markdown-discount
perl-text-xslate (in turn needs `perl-module-install` first)
perl-time-duration

Don't you need to build packages in a containerized environment of some kind (sbuild, pbuilder, etc)? Otherwise, how do you install dependencies? That environment will be based off a particular distro, so you shouldn't have to specify --profile.

We can of course force --profile ubuntu everywhere, but then the Debian user will need special treatment...I think you see my point.

Well, there are lintian differences between Ubuntu and Debian. You suggestion above essentially uses Debian's settings by default. Why should one get special treatment over the other?

I think the requirement to add this argument reduces scripts portability.

For example I use debuild to create package, and it will call lintian by default. While I can override debuild to have extra arguments for lintian, doing so requires maintain 1 build script for development environment and 1 for CI/production environment (we use GitHub workflow to create the final deliverable, and GH runner uses Ubuntu).

We can of course force --profile ubuntu everywhere, but then the Debian user will need special treatment...I think you see my point.

I think it is better to have a working default so this situation can be avoided.

lintian also report missing profile archlinux/main. So I just copied the Debian profile: sudo cp -r /usr/share/lintian/profiles/debian/. /usr/share/lintian/profiles/archlinux/.

Hm, I think you should do lintian --profile debian instead, unless you are packaging for Arch natively.
