Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist
While playing around with the tool hardlink, I noticed that even on a
small Debian Sid installation like the one on my 4GB EeePC contains
quite some packages which contain files more than once under
/usr/share/doc/<packagename>/ (inside the same binary package, not split
over several binary packages built of the same source package), most
often the upstream changelog was included twice, probably once via
debhelper and once manually by the maintainer:
$ hardlink -v -n /usr/share/doc | awk -F/ '$5 == $10 {print}'

I manually filed bugs for those 9 packages(*), but I fear that on bigger
installations way more such cases can be found. So a lintian test would
probably be better to track these issues.

Description:

Changes:
lintian (2.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- duplicate-files
- format-3.0-but-debian-changes-patch
- extended-description-contains-empty-paragraph
- git-patches-not-exported
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [NT] Fixed false-positive embedded-library. Lintian incorrectly
assumed that none of these binary packages would contain a source
version in their source field. (Closes: #626038)
* checks/copyright-file.desc:
+ [ADB] Correct a spelling mistake ("coypright" -> "copyright") in the
description of copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file;
thanks, Kees Cook. (Closes: #623780)
* checks/description{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Check for empty paragraphs in extended description. Thanks to
Gerfried Fuchs for the patch.
* checks/duplicate-files{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added to check for duplicate files in usr/share/doc. Thanks to
Axel Beckert for the suggestion. (Closes: #614715)
* check/fields:
+ [NT] Accepted pach from Antonio Terceiro to add Ruby-Version as a
accepted field in binary packages. Thanks to Vincent Carmona for
the report. (Closes: #623390)
* check/files:
+ [NT] Accepted multiple patches (merged into one) from Marcelo Jorge
Vieira to detect a number of new javascript libraries.
(Closes: #623878)
* checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Detect when 3.0 (quilt) packages have a debian-changes-VERSION
patch without a patch header. Thanks to Iain Lane for suggestion
and patch. (Closes: #588873)
* checks/debian-source-dir{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Applied patch from David Bremner to enable
git-patches-not-exported. (Closes: #607694)
* checks/java:
+ [NT] Tightened the regex for finding java libraries and restricted
missing-classpath tag to only be emitted for packages that actually
contain at least one jar file we check. This fixes false-positives
for packages that depended on libX-java-doc packages or packages
that only contain jar files we ignore.
* check/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Accepted patch from Antonio Terceiro to allow ruby-interpreter
as alternative to ruby for /usr/bin/ruby scripts.
(Closes: #626210)
.
* data/common/source-fields:
+ [NT] Accepted pach from Antonio Terceiro to add Ruby-Version as a
accepted field in binary packages. Thanks to Vincent Carmona for
the report.
.
* lib/Lintian/ProcessableGroup.pm:
+ [NT] Properly handle if the changes file is located directly in the
file system root. Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the bug report.
(Closes: #624149)
* lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+ [NT] Allow overrides to use wildcards anywhere instead of only in
the beginning or the end. Thanks to Steve R. Langasek for the
report. (Closes: #617991)
+ [NT] Allow simple architecture overrides such as [i386] or [!i386].
Architecture wildcards are not supported yet. The actual syntax
for the architecture the same as the one used in the Build-Depends.
Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the bug report and the solution
proposal. (Closes: #622888)
