Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: normal
Hi!
My debian/rules contains:
#v+
# Build architecture-dependent files here.
binary-arch:
# NOOP
define checkdir
test -f debian/rules
endef
#v-
lintian yields the following warning:
W: sil-users source: binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep
N:
N: It looks like you try to run code in the binary-arch target of
N: debian/rules, even though your package is architecture- independent.
N:
N: Severity: normal; Certainty: certain
The certainty is wrong here, I have no idea how tell lintian to shut up
about this, and I don't really understand the code surrounding this,
sorry.
Thanks,
Rhonda

Changes:
lintian (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- changed-by-address-is-on-localhost
- changed-by-address-looks-weird
- changed-by-address-malformed
- changed-by-address-missing
- changed-by-name-missing
- duplicate-long-description
- duplicate-short-description
- malformed-deb-archive
.
* checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Tag (severity: wishlist) duplicate short or long descriptions
in packages built from the same source. (Closes: #30020)
+ [RA] Clarify the binary-control-field-duplicates-source tag.
(Closes: #511213)
* checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
+ [RA] New check for the format of *.deb ar archives. Most cases will
fail during unpack, but dpkg-deb is more forgiving than dak and
allows ordering problems and extra members that dak rejects.
(Closes: #292055)
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Use check_maintainer from Lintian::Check, which suppresses
duplicate tags for some ill-formed maintainer fields.
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] New tag descriptions for Changed-By field tests.
* checks/rules:
+ [RA] Consider a define command to be the end of a list of target
commands, avoiding binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep false
positives when an empty rule is followed by a definition.
(Closes: #510869)
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Run maintainer well-formedness checks on the Changed-By field
of the *.changes file. (Closes: #183642)
.
* lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+ [RA] New module for checks run from multiple places.
* lib/Lintian/{Output.pm,Output/*.pm}:
+ [RA] Expect a single string of extra information rather than an
array, removing duplicate code to convert it to a string.
* lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
+ [RA] Fix Perl warnings triggered by missing fields in the control
file of a binary package.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [RA] Avoid Perl warnings if Severity or Certainty isn't set for a
tag. (Closes: #507278)
+ [RA] Record statistics for certainty correctly.
+ [RA] Canonicalize the extra tag information once and pass it as a
string to the other output methods. Based on a patch by Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #498883)
+ [RA] Fix override checking with extra tag information that Perl
evaluates to false (such as a bare 0).
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Document new deb-format check script.
.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Add support for running lintian on changes files in t/changes
and checking the tag output.
+ [RA] Add support for building a Debian package using basic tools,
with more complete control over the contents, and running lintian on
the results.
+ [RA] Fix exit status when a test fails but -k was given.
