Architecture: source all
Version: 0.8
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Richard Braakman <dark@xs4all.nl>
Description: 
 lintian    - Debian package checker
Changes: 
 lintian (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * (checks/perl) Don't emit warnings for perl scripts in /usr/doc.
     This closed bug#25728, reported by Manoj Srivastava.
 .
   * (info/overrides) Change the non-standard-*-perm overrides to match
     the new format of those tags.  (was changed in 0.7.5)
 .
   * (checks/control-files)
     "possibly-insecure-handling-of-tmp-files-in-maintainer-script" now knows
     about mkdir.
     New tag: W: possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script (Suggestion by Joey Hess)
 .
   * (testset/filenames-2)  Don't rely on installer's umask for testset.
 .
   * (collection/menu-files, collection/menu-files.desc,
      checks/menu-format, checks/menu-format.desc)
     New check for correct syntax in "menu" files, written by Joey Hess.
     New tags:
       E: old-format-menu-file
       E: whitespace-after-continuation-character
       E: bad-test-in-menu-item
       E: unparsable-menu-item
       W: incorrect-package-test
       W: duplicated-tag-in-menu-item
       W: menu-item-missing-important-tag
       W: menu-item-contains-unknown-tag
       W: menu-item-uses-icon-none
       W: menu-item-needs-tag-has-unknown-value
       E: menu-item-adds-to-root-menu
       W: menu-item-uses-apps-games-section
       W: menu-item-creates-new-section
       E: menu-item-creates-new-root-section
     The check follows current practice on two sections:
       Window-managers -> WindowManagers
       Screen/Screen-saver -> Screen/Save
     The menu docs will be updated to match.
 .
   * (lib/pipeline.pl) Bugfix: Use syscall SYS_exit when exiting from
     children that failed to exec, because the perl function exit() would
     run END blocks and such.
 .
   * (checks/standards-version) By now, 2.2.0.0 is more than one year old;
     mark it as 'ancient'.
 .
   * (reporting/html_reports) Bugfix: Apply quotehtml() to the tag text
     *before* adding links to bug pages.
 .
   * Many small adjustments to checks:
   * (checks/scripts) Be less picky about package names when checking
     dependencies.  (The check was confused by the package blt4.2)
   * (checks/description) Ignore case when looking for synopsis lines
     that start with the package name.
   * (checks/files) Don't give executable-in-usr-doc error for executables
     in /usr/doc/examples/, since that directory does contain examples, and
     it's already flagged by old-style-example-dir.
   * (checks/control-files) Don't warn about references to "/tmp" unless the
     full filename is "/tmp" or "/var/tmp".
   * (checks/binaries) Split tag "binary-not-linked-against-libc" into
     "program" and "library" tags.
   * (checks/files, checks/scripts) New tag "executable-manpage", which
     replaces "executable-not-elf-or-script" for manpages.
   * (checks/files) Shortened file-directly-in-usr-share-not-in-a-sub-directory
     and file-directly-in-usr-doc-not-in-a-sub-directory to just
     file-directly-in-usr-share and file-directly-in-usr-doc.
   * (checks/md5sums) Added md5sums-control-file-is-empty tag, to avoid
     spewing many file-missing-in-md5sums errors in that case.
   * (checks/scripts) Suppress interpreter-not-absolute tag if the
     filename ends in .in and the interpreter looks like #!@PERL@
   * (checks/control-files) Suppress mknod-in-maintainer-script tag if
     mknod was called with -p.
   * (checks/shared-libs) Emit no-shlibs-control-file tag for each shared lib
     found, rather than just once.
   * (checks/files) Emit old-style-example-dir only for directories, not for
     every file.
   * (checks/perl) perl-script-needs-dependency
     Bugfix: realize that a package does not need to depend on itself.
   * (checks/description) possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description:
     Only emit this tag if there are at least two things that look like
     list items.
   * (checks/scripts) List /usr/bin/env as a known interpreter.
   * (checks/binaries) unstripped-binary-or-object:
     Instead of an exception for /lib/modules specifically, suppress this
     tag for all .o files.
   * (checks/control-files) Bugfix: check for == bashism works now.
   * (checks/files) Introduced new tag lengthy-symlink, which supersedes
     and corrects the relative-symlink-enters-same-toplevel-directory tag.
 .
   * (man/lintian.1) Document the check and collection scripts added to
     lintian in the last few months. (oops)
 .
   * (collection/perlmods, checks/perl)
     Refined scanner so that fewer spurious perl-script-uses-unknown-module
     tags are emitted.
     Perl tags are no longer 'Experimental'.
