silent-on-rules-requiring-root
The field Rules-Requires-Root
is missing from the file
debian/control
.
Over time, Debian has successively narrowed the steps for which elevated privileges are required. It speeds up the building of installation packages in the archive. Eventually, Debian will switch the default archive-wide behaviour to expedite the build process further.
Please declare explicitly that the sources do not require root privileges. You can
use the setting Rules-Requires-Root: no
in the source stanza of
debian/control
, but please verify with diffoscope(1)
that
the installation packages produced are in fact identical.
Severity: | pedantic |
Experimental: | false |
Renamed from: | rules-requires-root-missing |
