Hi
I got a few todos hanging around in Lintian that I indent to deal with
in this week.
First off, I got the patch for #576005, which I would like a second pair
of eyes on; particularly because it involves renaming a tag that is used
in the FTP-master auto-reject. Is the correct procedure here just to
rename the tag, update data/output/ftp-master-* manually and then send a
friendly reminder to the FTP masters when we release?
- note the patch on the BTS keeps the old tag around to avoid test
failures.
I also intend to pull the commits from the infra-513663 branch about
normalizing the prefix we use for file names with tags. There are 7
commits about this as I recall. As this breaks overrides, the lintian
version is bumped to 2.5.0 instead of 2.4.4 (assuming I understood you
correctly Russ). This will also fix #534940 (note it only has a subset
of the patches/commits attached).
Other bugs / patches I am considering to fix / apply are:
* #554006 - will apply with minor changes to comply with recent changes
in Lintian.
* #607694 - 0001: Will apply with minor changes (missing two closes).
0008: Will apply with some changes (I am not really
satisfied with the tests) or just use as inspiration.
* #590723 - Russ, do you have any suggestions for this one? Else I
will have a look at it.
* #605744 - will apply as is, unless there are objections.
* #592491 - Just submitted a patch for that - bike-shedding appreciated
There is also #604047, which I believe we ought to fix as well in this
development cycle. Basically binutils in experimental breaks one of the
collect scripts in some cases. The proposed solution is to migrate from
objdump to readelf.
I am not sure I am ready to dedicate myself to this one though; if
anyone is interested feel free to take it.
Hopefully this should be doable for this week. :)
