Package: lintian Version: 2.2.6 Severity: wishlist I recently found a package where upstream switched from tar.gz to tar.bz2 and released a new upstream version. The debian/watch file for that package didn't detect the new upstream version because it was looking for tar.gz and upstream only released a bzip2 compressed tarball. I think lintian should warn about this situation (and the reverse) and suggest that both tar.gz and tar.bzip2 be checked for. The package is blockattack and the watch file is here: http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/wwiz_detail.php?id=11442403&type=watch lzma isn't used much upstream, but I imagine a time will come when that should be checked for too, not yet though (IMO). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
