Bug#667614: lintian: Please query distro-info for getting a valid list of Debian/Ubuntu distributions
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Please use `debian-distro-info --date=<iso 8601 date> --supported'
to get a list of valid Debian distributions and
`ubuntu-distro-info --date=<iso 8601 date> --supported' for a list of valid
Ubuntu distributions. You can use libdistro-info-perl if you want to avoid
a program execution.
The output of the distro-info scripts can replace the static list in
vendors/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject/data/changes-file and
vendors/ubuntu/main/data/changes-file.
FYI, distro-info will be backported to squeeze and I will keep the
distro-info-data package up-to-date.
