Description:
lintian - Debian package checker
Closes: 513795 513823 513831
Changes:
lintian (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "this is why spooky action at a distance is bad" release.
.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [ADB] Treat the new copyright file format's "License-Alias: Perl" as
indicating that the package is licensed under the same terms as Perl.
Thanks, gregor herrmann. (Closes: #513831)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Reset $/ before issuing duplicate-fields-in-templates to
prevent problems if -i was given.
* checks/debhelper:
+ [RA] Remove stray localization of $/, which broke -i when issuing
tags about ${misc:Depends}.
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Stop pointlessly setting $/ while parsing debian/rules and then
restoring it to the wrong value, which broke -i when issuing some
tags if they were the first tags issued.
* checks/scripts:
+ [RA] Add nickle as a known interpreter. Patch from Julien Cristau.
(Closes: #513823)
.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [ADB] Localise a use of $_ in control file parsing to avoid overwriting
it and leading to uninitialized value warnings in check scripts.
(Closes: #513795)
