* checks/binaries:
+ [HE] Fix RegEx to re-enable 'binary-in-etc' and
'arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share' checks. (Closes: #452336)
+ [HE] When checking that a lib is linked against libc, search for
libc.so, not any library beginning with libc. Thanks for
the bug and patch to Ruben Porras <nahoo82@gmail.com>. (Closes:
#448652)
+ [RA] Ignore the gf suffix from the gfortran migration when checking
whether the package name matches the SONAME. Thanks, Kevin
B. McCarty. (Closes: #448207)
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check that the latest changelog entry has a later version than
the previous entry. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #449257)
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Add Dm-Upload-Allowed as a control field. (Closes: #453779)
* checks/control-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Diagnose stronger dependencies that imply weaker dependencies,
such as the same dependency in both Depends and Recommends or
Recommends and Suggests. Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #453302)
+ [RA] Upgrade no-section-field-for-source to warning at the request
of Joerg Jaspert.
* checks/control-files:
+ [RA] Add symbols as a known control file for debs and udebs.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [HE] Check that encoding of copyright file is UTF-8. Patch by
gregor herrmann <gregor+debian@comodo.priv.at>. (Closes: #451689)
+ [HE] Add warning copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate
if the maintainer left the dh_make boilerplate in the
copyright file. Based on patch by Cyril Brulebois
<cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr>. (Closes: #448677)
+ [RA] Check for the complete GFDL included in the copyright file and
expand copyright-file-contains-full-gpl-license to look for GPL v3
references. Also check for correct references to common-licenses
for the GFDL and LGPL.
* checks/deb-format:
+ [HE] Remove, not needed any more. (Closes: #447257)
* checks/debconf:
+ [HE] Explicitly allow the phrase "no longer" in boolean debconf
questions. (Closes: #447718)
* checks/description.desc:
+ [RA] Upgrade the legacy Homepage tag to a warning.
* checks/fields:
+ [HE] Add 'doc-package-should-be-section-doc',
'python-package-should-be-section-python',
'perl-package-should-be-section-perl'. Ideas shamelessy
stolen from linda. (Closes: #452839)
+ [RA] Allow Python dependencies in Build-Depends when using another
variant for calling Python in the clean target. Thanks, Bernd
Zeimetz. (Closes: #444642)
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [HE,RA] Add 'package-contains-empty-directory' check, but ignore
dirs in /var and /etc and handle /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/share/perl5
directories separately with a lower priority level since they're
very common. (Closes: #452316, #357838)
+ [HE] Add checks for game packages that contain no game executables
(package-section-games-but-contains-no-game) or that contain
anything in usr/bin at all, which is usually a mistake.
(package-section-games-but-contains-no-game). (Closes: #451668)
+ [RA] Downgrade symlink-should-be-relative to a warning since it's a
Policy should. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #454239)
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] Add critical as a recognized urgency.
* checks/patch-systems:
+ [HE] Add complete new check script, intended to check for usual
problems when using patch systems. Start with three
checks for common dpatch problems. Idea loosely based on
patch by Carl Fürstenberg <azatoth@gmail.com>. (Closes: #437959)
* checks/po-debconf.desc:
+ [RA] not-using-po-debconf is now an error per Policy section 3.9.1.
* checks/rules:
+ [HE] Implement 'binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep', checking
for rules in binary-arch when the package is arch: all.
(Closes: #409109, #119097)
+ [HE] Implement 'desktop-file-but-no-dh_desktop-call', checking for
missing dh_desktop calls when .desktop files are installed in
a debhelperized package. (Closes: #409138)
* checks/scripts:
+ [HE] Allow packages to drop snippets into /etc/csh/login.d
without a dependency on csh. Files there should also
be allowed to have csh in the shebang line. (Closes: #453417)
+ [HE] Allow packages to drop snippets into /etc/fish.d/ without
a dependecy on fish. (Closes: #453416)
+ [RA] Remove possible-non-posix-code-in-maintainer-script entirely.
Debian Policy now allows local and test -a/-o specifically and this
is pointless portability.
* checks/standards-version:
+ [RA] 3.7.3 is now the current Standards-Version and anything older
than 3.6.2 is ancient.
.
* debian/control:
+ [TK] Add Vcs-* fields to point to Lintian's repository.
+ [RA] Update standards version to 3.7.3.
* debian/dirs:
+ [RA] Stop creating empty /usr/share/lintian/{overrides,info}
directories. The latter is no longer used and the former is shipped
with packages that include overrides.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Add critical as a recognized urgency.
+ [RA] Diagnose malformed override entries; don't just ignore them.
+ [RA] Fix some odd formatting.
+ [RA] Display a summary of overridden tags as an N: output line.
Requested by Steve McIntyre. (Closes: #452804)
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Be clearer about what files lintian takes as arguments; in
particular, mention that source packages are checked by providing
the .dsc file as an argument. (Closes: #441636)
+ [RA] Fix a slight spacing problem with the --color flag.
+ [RA] Remove mention of unused /usr/share/lintian/info directory.
.
* lib/DebVersions.pm:
+ [RA] Remove. This isn't used by anything and would produce
incorrect results (it doesn't understand ~), and Dep.pm provides
version comparison routines that use dpkg.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [RA] Keep statistics on overrides by severity.
.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Change the layout of the per-maintainer lintian pages. Now,
each report will be in /reports/maintainer/<email>.html where
<email> is the maintainer's e-mail address with unsafe characters
replaced by _. This should allow better links from the QA pages.
Thanks, Stefano Zacchiroli.
.
* unpack/list-srcpkg:
+ [RA] Escape ; and newline characters in all package fields before
writing them to the index (uncovered when someone accidentally
appended a package description to Standards-Version).
