They are best avoided. N: N: Some of these problems can be hard to track down. N: N: Whitespace at the end of lines may be removed with the following: N: N: $ sed -i -e 's@[[:space:]]*$@@g' debian/control debian/changelog N: N: If you use Emacs, you can also use "M-x wh-cl" (whitespace-cleanup). N: N: However, if you wish to only remove trailing spaces and leave trailing N: tabs (eg. for Makefiles), you can use the following code snippet: N: N: $ sed -i -e 's@[ ]*$@@g' debian/rules N: N: To remove empty lines from the end of a file, you can use: N: N: $ sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba' debian/rules N: N: Visibility: pedantic N: Show-Always: no N: Check: debian/trailing-whitespace N: Renamed from: file-contains-trailing-whitespace N: N: P: abakus-trinity source: trailing-whitespace [debian/changelog:76] N: X: abakus-trinity source: upstream-metadata-file-is-missing N: N: This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a N: debian/upstream/metadata file.

N: N: This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some N: source file checks. N: N: This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer N: program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs. N: N: Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate N: the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems. N: N: It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments. N: N: You may report this issue upstream.
