- From: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.16
Severity: wishlist
W: bum: menu-command-not-in-package /usr/share/menu/bum:4 /usr/bin/gksu
Since gksu's really an adverb rather than something we normally expect
to find in the package itself, I think it should be handled a bit like
su-to-root (and kdesu should probably be the same, IIRC). I suggest that
if the menu file uses gksu, then we should (a) check for a dependency on
gksu, (b) check that the command following gksu is in the package.

Changes:
lintian (1.23.26) unstable; urgency=low
.
* checks/binaries{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add a policy reference for unstripped-binary-or-object.
Thanks, Bas Wijnen. (Closes: #394419)
+ [RA] Add a special exception to the shared library dependency check
for the dynamic loader itself.
* checks/changelog-file.desc:
+ [RA] Downgrade to a warning several errors with changelog files,
including compression and a text version of HTML changelogs, that
are only shoulds in Policy. (Closes: #289723)
+ [RA] Cleaned up language and use of unbalanced single quotes in
numerous descriptions.
* checks/control-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Diagnose a control file that creates binary packages in a
different archive category from the source package or the other
binary packages. Idea from Yann Dirson. (Closes: #394720)
+ [RA] Close opened files.
+ [RA] Add info-level check for Section in the source section of the
control file. (Closes: #322244)
* checks/cruft{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Tighten the timestamp check on config.{sub,guess} to look for
files dated 2004 or newer, since that's when x86_64 was added.
Increase to an error at the request of Ryan Murray since we already
suppress this warning of config.{guess,sub} are modified by the
Debian patch or if the package build-depends on autotools-dev.
(Closes: #190897)
* checks/debconf{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Take into account comma escaping when checking the number of
translated choices. Reported by Frans Pop. (Closes: #395028)
+ [RA] Only require debconf be loaded in the postinst script if a
config script exists. Reported by Josselin Mouette.
+ [RA] Require pre-depends on debconf if debconf is used in the
preinst script. Update the long description to deprecate only
depending on debconf and falling back on another configuration
system. Reported by Josselin Mouette. (Closes: #395468)
+ [RA] Warn of debconf notes displayed with low or medium priority,
with an exception for Policy-required device file warnings. Based
on a patch by Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #389070)
+ [RA] Close files after opening them, fixing incorrect line numbers
when reporting problems with config scripts.
* checks/debdiff{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for creation of ~ and .xxx.swp backup files in the Debian
diff, but only at the info level for now since they cause no harm.
(Closes: #332770)
* checks/fields{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Clarify in missing-build-dependency why lintian does not take
into account transitive build dependencies. (Closes: #393975)
+ [RA] Avoid Perl warning when diagnosing a Python-Version of the form
"all, >= 2.4". Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #394104)
+ [RA] Teach the debian/rules parsing about make conditionals and
don't require build dependencies for lines encountered inside a
conditional (in other words, assume people using conditionals know
what they're doing). Fixes a false positive due to the unusual
arch-specific build dependencies for openoffice.org, reported by
Rene Engelhard. (Closes: #380286)
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for vim .swp files in the package.
+ [RA] Split the warning for NFS temporary files into a separate tag
from the warning for editor backup files.
* checks/infofiles:
+ [RA] Close opened files.
+ [RA] debhelper no longer adds a --section flag to install-info, so
don't warn about any install-info invocation without --section.
Instead, check each info file for INFO-DIR-SECTION and diagnose
calling install-info without --section if any info file is missing
this information. (Closes: #97502, #398670)
+ [RA] Checks for the compression and suffixes of info files were not
being run due to a mistake in specifying either /usr/info or
/usr/share/info as an info directory. Re-enable them.
* checks/md5sums{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add a tag for a missing md5sums control file, but only at info
level, at least for now. (Closes: #133027)
+ [RA] Do better syntax checking of the md5sums control file and
report malformed lines as a tag rather than aborting lintian.
+ [RA] Downgrade file-missing-in-md5sums to a warning since it doesn't
break the package or debsums and may be intentional.
* checks/menu.desc:
+ [RA] Remove stray commas in Ref strings since the reporting code
considers commas to be separating two different references.
* checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Support the sux, gksu, and kdesu wrappers in menu commands as
well as su-to-root. (Closes: #360227)
+ [RA] Fix tag name for menu-icon-cannot-be-parsed. Thanks, Bill
Allombert. (Closes: #399245)
* checks/po-debconf{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for misnamed PO files in debian/po, which cause
translations to be merged into the template with the wrong names and
not found. Based on a patch by Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #387360)
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [RA] Calling ldconfig is also required for libraries installed in
various subdirectories of its standard search path based on hardware
capabilities. Reported by Aurelien Jarno. (Closes: #396278)
.
* debian/rules:
+ [RA] Exclude testset/diffs/binary.c~ from dh_clean.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Add --fail-on-warning option to exit with non-zero status if
any warnings were found. Thanks, Daniel Bonniot. (Closes: #189656)
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Document --fail-on-warning.
