.
* debian/control:
+ [NT] Recommend dpkg (>= 1.17.14) for the --ctrl-tarfile
option in dpkg-deb. Lintian relies on it to support
(u)deb files without a gzip compressed control.tar file.
+ [AB] Promote xz-utils from Suggests to Depends. (Closes: #774729)
* debian/copyright:
+ [AB] Update copyright years.
* debian/rules:

whether the test artifact directory should be cleaned
during a call to "debian/rules clean" (defaulting to

that a check has a dependency on an unknown collection.
.
* helpers/coll/objdump-info-helper:
+ [NT] Apply patch from Matt Kraai that adjusts the regex
used for parsing readelf output. Thanks to Martin Pitt
for reporting the issues. (Closes: #771054)
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+ [NT] Add "debug" class for "is_pkg_class". This uses the
package name to guess if the package is expected to
contain debug symbols.
* lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
+ [NT] Use croak() rather than L::Util's fail() on errors.
The issues are generally not "internal errors".
* lib/Lintian/Internal/FrontendUtil.pm:
+ [NT] Work around a bug in autodie, where an fdopen of a
file-descriptor always failed with "bad file descriptor".
* lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+ [NT] Null fields extra metadata fields in the lab storage
that are no longer used. These were previously used by
the reporting framework.
+ [NT] Automatically correct lab metadata, when the lab
discovers an entry does not exist. Any remains of the
entry will be removed as well. Previously, the lab would
just throw an error and require a manuel correction of
the lab.
* lib/Lintian/Reporting/ResourceManager.pm:
+ [NT] Only preserve the last extension of the installed
resource. Previously it would keep all "extensions",
including long parts of the original name if it happened
to contain a period.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Prefer dpkg-deb --ctrl-tarfile to "ar p" when dpkg
is recent enough.
+ [NT] Stricten the permitted whitespace at the end of GPG
marker lines. This is the same issue as CVE-2015-0840,
except lintian never attempted to validate the signature.
+ [NT] Explicitly use YAML::XS for reading and writing
YAML files. YAML::Any does not specify an interface for
reliably read YAML files in UTF-8 encoding leading to
"mojibake" in some cases. Thanks to Andreas Rönnquist
for reporting the issue. (Closes: #784639)
.
* profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
+ [BR] Exclude no-human-maintainers (Closes: #769036).
.
* reporting/config:
+ [NT] Include and briefly document new configuration
options.
* reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
+ [NT] Rewrite harness and remove the hard dependency on
a functional permanent laboratory in the reporting
framework.
- The framework now relies on the "harness state cache"
(a YAML file), which can be updated atomically.
- The harness framework now avoids stat(2)ing all
artefacts on the mirror just to check if they are
unchanged.
- The harness frontends use less memory and now
releases most of it before calling html_reports.
This should reduce the peak memory requirements
considerably for the html_reports part of the run.
* reporting/{html_reports,templates/*}:
+ [NT] Reorder the datastructures shared with templates
for better data sharing. This reduces the memory
consumption of html_reports by ~25% on lintian.d.o.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [NT] Templates are now always read and (their output)
written in the UTF-8 encoding.
+ [NT] Stop reading $statistics_file from the config file.
.
* t:
+ [NT] Apply patch from Matt Kraai to fix test case on
i386. (Closes: #771113)
* t/scripts/pod-spelling.t:
+ [AB] Hardcode aspell as spelling command since Test::Spelling
prefers spell over aspell if installed, too. This avoids having to
add a "Build-Conflicts: spell".
* t/tests/files-embedded/:
+ [AB] Add test case for #783327.

* checks/{control-file,fields}.{desc,pm}:
+ [NT] Apply patch from Johannes Schauer to support the
new build profile syntax. (Closes: #763773)
* checks/dbus.{desc,pm}:
+ [NT] New check by Simon McVittie to discover some dbus
related issues. (Closes: #762609)
* checks/nmu.pm:
+ [JW] Avoid chopping off trailing ">" in emails in the
canonicalize subroutine. (Closes: #766468)

(Closes: #765995)
.
* collection/{bin-pkg-control,unpacked}:

timestamp of the extracted files. Lintian does not need
it for correctness, so it can make tar save a few syscalls
here.

as the current user and applying the users umask. This is
mostly to be explicit about how things are extracted.

+ [NT] Stop collecting file-info for "non-files". The output
is not used and often trivial / predictable from other data
input already available.
* collection/strings:

newlines. Thanks to Faheem Mitha for reporting the bug.

state at start up. Only ENV variables starting with
"LINTIAN_" (and a select few well known variables) are
preserved.

a single --debug option. Lintian will now also show
runtime for other things (e.g. total runtimes).
+ [NT] Add --perf-debug and --perf-output options to enable
logging for performance data. This is mostly intended
to allow collecting performance data from archive-wide
runs.
+ [NT] Hide some options in the default output for --help.
These can now be shown with "--help=extended".
+ [NT] Add a new "Developer/special usage options" section
in the --help output for some options (e.g. --debug).
This section is hidden by default.
.
* lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
+ [NT] Unparsable entries are now included in relation
objects rather than being silently discarded.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Purge even more ENV variables in clean_env.
+ [NT] Add "pipe_tee" subroutine for tee'ing data from one
input file descriptors to one or more output output file
descriptors.
.
* man/lintian.pod.in:
+ [NT] Document the performance logging options.

style sheet.

+ [NT] Correct name of variable to avoid using an undefined
variable.
.

+ [SL] show the actual description when it is too short.
* checks/files.pm:
+ [NT] Only flag the Doxygen generated "md5" file as
useless. Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre for reporting.
(Closes: #762660)
* checks/patch-systems.pm:

packages. (Closes: #563773)

+ [NT] Avoid writing test.pot to the unpacked package.
(Closes: #699022)

They will now be now auto-removed at the end of the
processing if they have been collected previously.
.

* data/cruft/non-free-license:
+ [BR] Detect cc-by-nc-sa license. (Closes: #749768).

depend on "unpacked" instead.

+ [NT] Add support for running a sub in the child before
it calls exec.

opening the underlying file system object. It also adds
a few minor safety guards to common issues with symlinks.
(Closes: #698930)
* lib/Lintian/Path/FSInfo.pm:
+ [NT] New file.
.
* reporting/*:
+ [NT] Avoid forking a shell when invoking commands. This
has the side effect of allowing some paths from the
configuration to contain spaces (among other), where it
previously would not work.
* reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
+ [NT] Use https:// in links to other resources/sites and
add link to tracker.debian.org.

process running the collection. This makes it easier to
see what collections are currently being run (like in the
versions prior to 2.5.12). For platforms, where it is
not possible to change the name of a running process, the
unpack jobs will simply be named "lintian" like its parent.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Fix a race condition in touch_file.
+ [NT] Add sanity check in perm2oct for bad permission
strings and throw errors when they are seen (instead

signed messages; thanks Samuel Bronson.

family.
* reporting/harness:
+ [NT] Add --to-stdout option to emit log information to
stdout as well as the log files.
+ [NT] Always schedule packages in groups. Otherwise, binNMU'ed
binaries would not be tested together with their source
package (and architecture independent packages).

This makes the Lintian processes shorter and makes memory
reclaimable sooner. (Closes: #695839)

Lintian::Lab supports it.
* reporting/html_reports:

map source packages to the full report for that source.

RewriteMap. (Closes: #696960)

+ [JP] Use global $GRAPHS_RANGE_DAYS.
+ [JP] Pass graph variables to index and tag templates.
* reporting/lintian.css:

* reporting/templates/{packages,maintainer,tag}.tmpl:
+ [NT] Properly handle multiple versions of the same source and
add versioned anchors to them.
* reporting/templates/{index,tag}.tmpl:
+ [JP] Include history graphs in HTML templates.
* reporting/templates/tag.tmpl:
+ [NT] Fix "empty <ul>" tag when tag has no "extra" information.

* checks/fields{,.desc}:

the groff pipeline. (Closes: #677874)

manpages.
* checks/menu-format{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Move a table of categories to a data file.
