Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hey,
currently lintian will tag a source with copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file
when one refers to a license symlink and lintian can't find
\b(any|or)\s+later(\s+version)?\b
in the copyright file.
That is imho wrong, esp with the new copyright format:
Files: foo
Copyright: bar
License: GPL-2+
That says foo is licensed under gpl v2 or later.
The attached patch against git solves the issue for me.
regards
Evgeni

Changes:

.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- description-possibly-contains-homepage
- dfsg-version-in-native-package
- dfsg-version-with-period
- dfsg-version-misspelled
- experimental-to-unstable-without-comment (pedantic)
- homepage-for-cpan-package-contains-version
- maintainer-script-without-set-e (pedantic)
- source-contains-prebuilt-binary (pedantic)
- source-contains-prebuilt-windows-binary (pedantic)
- using-first-person-in-description
+ Removed
- non-us-spelling
.
* checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for a distribution of unstable when the last
version had a distribution of experimental and there's no comment
about the change. (Closes: #483845)
* checks/common-data.pm:
+ [ADB] Remove the obsolete non-US from the list of recognised archive
sections.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [RA] Treat License: GPL-2+ as "GPL version 2 or later" for the
purposes of the check for a correctly versioned license reference.
Patch from Evgeni Golov. (Closes: #513946)
* checks/cruft{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Downgrade all source-contains-* tags to pedantic. These are
upstream problems the packager can't do much about and they have
no practical effect on the Debian package. Wishlist implies that
a wishlist bug against the package would be appropriate, which
seems too strong.
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for binaries in the upstream source. Patch
from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #127494)
* checks/description{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Check for using first person in package descriptions, similar
to the existing check for debconf questions. Patch from Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #514491)
+ [RA] Add check (wishlist/wild-guess) for apparent home page URLs in
the long description with no Homepage field. Based on a patch by
Paul Wise. (Closes: #339829)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Remove checks for the capitalisation of the obsolete non-US
archive section.
+ [RA] Warn about Homepage fields pointing to search.cpan.org pages
containing a version number. Based on a patch by Paul Wise.
+ [RA] Warn of dfsg versions in native packages.
+ [RA] Warn of ".dfsg" versions and recommend "+dfsg" for version
sorting reasons. Thanks, Paul Wise. (Closes: #514203)
+ [RA] Warn of the "dsfg" typo in versions. Thanks, Paul Wise.
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Relation and the new Lintian::Collect support for
retrieving parsed relationship fields.
* checks/files:
+ [ADB] Don't report duplicate-font-file for udebs. Patch by Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #514095)
* checks/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for maintainer scripts using #!/bin/sh -e
instead of set -e in the script body. (Closes: #119045)
.
* collection/file-info{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Also run file-info for source packages. Patch from Raphael
Geissert.
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect.pm:
+ [RA] Defer loading of the subclasses until the constructor to avoid
circular dependencies at compilation time.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+ [RA] New method relation() to return a Lintian::Relation object for
a given relationship field or set of relationship fields.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [RA] New methods relation() and relation_noarch() to return
Lintian::Relation objects for a given build relationship field or
set of fields. New method binary_relation() to return a
Lintian::Relation object for a given relationship field in a binary
package built from this source package.
+ [RA] Add file_info() method to return file information for source
packages. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
+ [RA] New class based on the existing Dep module that handles package
relationship analysis. Now includes documentation, uses a more
object-oriented structure, and removes a special case handling of
Perl alternatives. This module will eventually replace Dep.
* lib/Lintian/Relation/Version.pm:
+ [RA] New module containing the version comparison code from Dep.
This module will only be needed until Lintian is converted to
Dpkg::Version or AptPkg::Version.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Add some additional typo and case corrections. Patch from
Raphael Geissert.
.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Copy test suite data based on checksum, not size and time,
since some files change one character and Git doesn't preserve
timestamps. Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #514496)
.
* unpack/list-{binpkg,udebpkg}:
+ [RA] Preserve the source_version field from the previous list when
adding new packages, remove some dead code, and restructure for
improved readability. Thanks to Jordà Polo for the analysis.
(Closes: #507849)
+ [RA] Generate an index of files in the upstream source tarball.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
