Urgency: low
Maintainer: Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>
Description:
lintian - Debian package checker
Changes:
lintian (0.3.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* This is (intentionally) an `unstable' upload--we've decided to not
include the lintian package in `frozen' since it doesn't make sense to
maintain a `stable' and `unstable' version of a package in such an
early state. The maintainers should get Lintian from the `unstable'
distribution to check `frozen' uploads though.
.
* Added `menus' check. This check checks for common mistakes WRT
/usr/lib/menu and /usr/share/doc-base files.
[16 new tags]
.
* Fixed `shared-libs' check:
- removed `shared-library-uses-its-soname' check since this produced
way too many false alarms (thanks to David Engel for the input!)
.
* Fixed `binaries' check:
- skip `unstripped-binary-or-object' check for kernel modules
(thanks to Michael Meskes for noticing that!)
- fixed pattern which parses the `file' command's output to be able
to handle files without info text correctly
(thanks to James R. Van Zandt for pointing this out!)
- mention in tag info that shared libs should be stripped with
`--strip-unneeded' options (thanks to Brian for pointing this out!)
.
* Improved `manpages' check:
- check if manual pages are compressed with gzip -9
(thanks to Holger Rusch for the idea!)
[2 new tags]
.
* Improved `files' check:
- for files in /usr/doc:
- executables may only be in /usr/doc/<something>/examples
- files should be owned by root.root (thanks to Joey)
- files should not be directly placed into /usr/doc/
(fixes:bug#19485)
- no files may be installed into /tmp and /var/tmp
- renamed file-directly-in-usr-share to
file-directly-in-usr-share-not-in-a-sub-directory
(thanks to Santiago)
- fix tag info for "symlink-should-be-absolute"
[3 new tags]
.
* Improved `description' check:
- lists (starting with a dash or asterisk) have to be indented
(thanks to cpb4@ukc.ac.uk for the idea and the patch!
fixes:bug#19481)
[1 new tag]
.
* Fixed `scripts' check:
- packages with python scripts might depend on python or python-base
(thanks to Gregor Hoffleit for pointing this out and to Richard for
the patch! fixes:bug#19162)
- remove wrong policy quotation for `script-not-executable' tag
.
* Fixed `init.d' check:
- ignore update-rc.d calls in preinst and postinst scripts, if
"remove" option is specified (thanks to Roman Hodek and Herbert Xu
for pointing this out--this change also removes a lot of other false
alarms WRT update-rc.d calls)
.
* Improved `control-files' check:
- scan maintainer scripts for references to /tmp or TMPFILE since this
might be insecure (thanks to Topi Miettinen for the help!)
[1 new tag]
.
* Improved `copyright-file' to issue a special error message if a
symbolic link /usr/doc/foo refers to a directory outside of /usr/doc
(thanks to Darren for pointing this out!)
[1 new tag]
.
* Fixed `fields' check:
- added architecture `arm' (thanks to Roman Hodek)
.
* Fixed `lintian' frontend:
- run lintian scripts with LC_ALL=C
(thanks to Yann for pointing this out! fixes:bug#19166)
- changed handling of `#' comments: for comments in the overrides
file, the hash (#) has to be in the first column
- changed all tags which used `#' for comments
.
* Fixed `lintian-info':
- multiple HTML tags haven't been converted into text format in all
cases
- preformatted text is now handled correctly
- merged with code that produced the HTML reports
- code much cleaner now
.
* Improved Lintian's documentation:
- fixed libtool/rpath workaround file: don't wrap long line
(Thanks to Yann for pointing this out!)
- stress in docs that the "lintian-maint@debian.org" address should
be used to contact the lintian authors (thanks to Adrian Bridgett
for pointing this out!)
.
* Added more overrides (fixes:bug#19163)
