1 Check-Script: huge-usr-share
2 Author: Jeroen van Wolffelaar <jeroen@wolffelaar.nl>
6 Info: This script checks whether an architecture-dependent package doesn't
7 have a significantly big /usr/share
9 Tag: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share
11 Info: The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data in
12 /usr/share, while it is an architecture-dependent package.
13 This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with
14 multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture.
16 If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, it is a policy
17 violation, and in this case, you should move that data elsewhere.
