- Subject: lintian: detect useless windows thumbnail databases (thumbs.db)

Package: lintian Version: 1.23.34 Severity: wishlist Please add a check to search the .deb for windows thumbnail databases. These are generally useless in Debian binary packages and just take up space. They will be named "Thumbs.db" (or any variation in case) and file reports that they are "Microsoft Office Document". The may get compressed by dh_compress. The following files exist in the archive: album /usr/share/album/themes/Orange/Thumbs.db b2evolution /usr/share/b2evolution/skins/natural_pink/rsc/img/Thumbs.db libnunit-doc /usr/share/doc/nunit/html/img/Thumbs.db.gz perlprimer-doc /usr/share/doc/perlprimer/tutorial_files/Thumbs.db.gz texlive-latex-extra /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/pdfwin/Thumbs.db.gz texlive-latex-extra /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-extra/latex/pdfwin/Thumbs.db.gz egroupware-mydms /usr/share/egroupware/mydms/templates/default/images/Thumbs.db egroupware-mydms /usr/share/egroupware/mydms/templates/default/images/buttons/Thumbs.db egroupware-mydms /usr/share/egroupware/mydms/templates/default/images/menu/Thumbs.db egroupware-mydms /usr/share/egroupware/mydms/templates/default/images/treeview/Thumbs.db blockattack /usr/share/games/blockattack/gfx/Thumbs.db bos /usr/share/games/stratagus/bos/graphics/elites/buildings/Thumbs.db whichwayisup /usr/share/games/whichwayisup/data/pictures/Thumbs.db knowledgeroot /usr/share/knowledgeroot/system/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/_template/images/Thumbs.db libauthen-captcha-perl /usr/share/perl5/Authen/Captcha/images/Thumbs.db serendipity /usr/share/serendipity/www/templates/contest/admin/img/Thumbs.db serendipity /usr/share/serendipity/www/templates/contest/img/Thumbs.db tomcat5.5-admin /usr/share/tomcat5.5/server/webapps/admin/images/Thumbs.db torrentflux /usr/share/torrentflux/www/themes/mape/images/Thumbs.db FYI, the vinetto package can decode them. Not sure if the check should be for just the binary or source packages too. Even vinetto doesn't have any in it, so I'd say source packages shouldn't contain them either. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWiseAttachment: signature.asc

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.

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.
