.
The "frantic bug catchup" release.
.
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add some basic checks for NEWS.Debian files: naming,
compression, encoding, a syntax check with Parse::DebianChangelog,
and unreleased for the distribution. (Closes: #437707)
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Allow Homepage in source and binary packages.
* checks/control-file:
+ [RA] Support and ignore comments in debian/control. Thanks, Julien
Cristau. (Closes: #440830)
+ [RA] Check for XS-Vcs-* headers and recommend (at info level) that
they be changed to Vcs-* headers. (Closes: #444661)
* checks/cruft.desc:
+ [RA] Fix incorrect tag name for patch failure files. Thanks, Romain
Francoise. (Closes: #437463)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] A cdebconf that supported error was released with sarge, so
don't require a versioned cdebconf dependency. Thanks, Thijs
Kinkhorst. (Closes: #438860)
+ [RA] Various improvements from Thomas Huriaux: Diagnose select
templates with only yes/no options, diagnose more question prompts,
warn on any questions in the extended description, allow yes/no
mentions in non-boolean templates, and catch more first-person
language. (Closes: #439508)
+ [RA] More exactly follow the Developer's Reference recommendations
by only requiring open prompts for string and password prompts and
only complaining about imperative wording for select and multiselect
templates. Thanks, Steve Langasek. (Closes: #442711)
* checks/description{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn (at info level for now) about Homepage pseudo-fields in
the extended description. (Closes: #444336)
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Allow python-all as yet another way of satisfying a Python
build dependency. (Closes: #444642)
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [RA] Properly escape < and >.
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn about Thumbs.db files, which are usually useless Windows
thumbnail databases. Thanks, Paul Wise. (Closes: #438202)
+ [RA] Warn about .DS_Store files, used by Mac OS X to store extended
folder attributes. Thanks, Paul Wise. (Closes: #438203)
+ [RA] Improve the recommended command to remove .packlist files.
Thanks, Justin Pryzby.
+ [RA] Don't think hard links are zero-length files.
+ [RA] Diagnose files with names ending in whitespace.
* checks/infofiles:
+ [RA] Emacs 22 now allows embedded images in info files, so accept
and ignore PNG files in the info directory. More image types may be
needed. Thanks, Andreas Metzler. (Closes: #438602)
* checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Reserved categories are okay in .desktop files if OnlyShowIn is
present, and generally deserve their own separate tag regardless.
Thanks, Michael Biebl. (Closes: #442709)
+ [RA] Ignore categories beginning with "X-", reserved for category
extensions. Thanks, Josselin Mouette. (Closes: #443827)
+ [RA] Allow Actions keys. This isn't in the desktop standard but
is widely used. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #444651)
+ [RA] Ignore desktop files not for one of the known types. This
should significantly reduce the noise for KDE packages.
+ [RA] Only check whether a program referenced by Exec is in the
package if the desktop file is in /usr/share/applications. Too many
applications use Exec for desktop files elsewhere without the
standard PATH.
+ [RA] Ignore Exec fields pointing to kcmshell.
+ [RA] Ignore desktop files in /usr/share/doc or that appear to be
templates.
+ [RA] Avoid uninitialized warnings on all-whitespace commands.
* checks/menus:
+ [RA] Find the targets of hard links correctly. (Closes: #444355)
+ [RA] Use the three-argument form of open to not fail on doc-base
files ending in whitespace. Error on doc-base files with Document
fields that end in whitespace, since currently they break multiple
tools. Thanks, Ian Zimmerman. (Closes: #444889)
* checks/nmu.desc:
+ [RA] Remove obsolete note about binary NMUs. Patch from Thijs
Kinkhorst. (Closes: #437925)
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] We now have a csh package. Allow it as an alternative for csh
script dependencies. Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz. (Closes: #440825)
+ [RA] Allow install-sgmlcatalog --remove in postinst as well as
prerm and suggest removing it entirely in the long description.
* checks/version-substvars.desc:
+ [RA] Properly escape < and >.
.
* collection/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Collect NEWS.Debian as well as changelog.
