Changes:
lintian (1.20.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* 'why would you ever do THAT?' release
* lintian-info sets $ENV{'LINTIAN_ROOT'} if it is not set
* added a check to checks/files for packages which ship the upstream INSTALL
document. This is almost always useless for users of a package.
testset/binary now includes such a file
Closes: #81970
* checks/menus -- the walk over package contents now has logic to run file
tests on files, link tests on links, etc.
* checks/menus -- if there is a /usr/share/doc/$pkg symlink, assume it links
to a package it depends on and do not warn about setting the usr/doc
symlink. There is code in checks/copyright-file that makes sure policy is
followed with regards to what is actually linked against. Closes: #48048
* checks/fields is now less strict about Section: non-US handling
* added debconf files to list of known control files in checks/control-files
Closes: #46863
* perl mistakes are no longer checked for. Closes: #47076, #75889
* FHS 2.1 cleanups, Closes: #75878
* lintian will not complain if you symlink your doc directory to an essential
package and leave off the depends, because since it is essential you must
not depend on it. Closes: #48296
* lintian now gives and error when a package declares a depends on an
essential package without using a versioned depends. Closes: #33250
* extra-license-file is not given if the file is just a symlink.
Closes: #35224
* checks/fields: now complain if a package declares a depends on a virtual
package without first depending on a real packages as an alternative.
Required adding a known_virtual_packages list to checks/common_data.pl.
Also removed redundant info/registered-virtual-packages file.
Closes: #70673
* added a library (mostly empty right now) and non-us testset
* runtests now runs the tests in alphabetical order
* lintian's --version info is being updated automagically again
* moved some hashes around in checks/ to common_data.pl
* checks/changelog-file reorganized so it knows the size of the files. Now
it can check that the changelog is sufficiently large to require
compressing. Also modified the desc file to reflect this. Closes: #84400
* --info now outputs all info. Silly bug in how I used split and defined.
Closes: #82970
* added a testset/check_info.pl script. It verifies that every lintian
check referenced in a desc also has an info section. runtests now runs
this test as well.
* suidregister warning is now an error.
* checks/menus: fixed the if link case pattern match -- one more perl erro
down, 3 billion hidden ones to go.
* Following items thanks to Colin Watson
* updated checks/standards-version so it does not give perl errors when it
encounters a newer standards version than it knows about. Closes: #84083
* updated references to policy for policy 3.5.0. Closes: #84088, #83969
* Added a warning for packages containing a link to undocumented(7) as
suggested on debian-policy list. Also includes a testset (manpages)
addition.
Closes: #83188
* At the moment checks/copyright-file just tests for a slash in the link;
I've changed it here to test for an initial / or ../, and then after that
check it strips off everything from the first slash on, so that tests on
the package name work correctly when people link to subdirectories of
other /usr/share/doc directories. Closes: #84066
* It was unpacking to level 2 even though I had Unpack-Level: 1 and no
associated collection scripts. Of course, it wanted override files from
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/$pkg. Fair enough - except that if I said
--no-override it wanted the override file information anyway, and still
unpacked to level 2. No obeys non-overrides. Closes: #84722
