Changes:
lintian (2.5.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
Its like 2.5.7, only with less false positives and no FTBFS.
.
* checks/binaries{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Fix a too strict regex causing false-positives for
biarch packages. This was a regression introduced in
version 2.5.7. Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting it.
(Closes: #673106)
+ [NT] Demote certainty of hardening-no-stackprotector to
wild-guess and move it to debian/extra-hardening profile.
+ [NT] Skip hardening-no-fortify-functions for binaries only
using the unprotected memcpy. This greatly reduces the
number of false positives for binaries compiled with
gcc-4.7 -O2 (or higher optimization). (Closes: #673112)
* checks/files:
+ [NT] Properly handle symlinks in icon directories. Thanks
to Nicholas Breen for the report and Felix Geyer for the
patches. (Closes: #673352)
+ [NT] Ignore wrong sizes on images in animations as it may
be a method to implement the animation. Thanks to Matthias
Klumpp for the report and Felix Geyer for the patch.
(Closes: #673862)
+ [NT] Ignore wrong icon sizes if the size difference is at
most 2px. Thanks to Felix Geyer for the patch.
* checks/scripts:
+ [NT] Refactor the %versioned_interpreters into a new
data file.
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [NT] Fix false positive "dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink"
for shared libraries using "libtool -release X.Y".
Thanks to Sven Joachim for the report. (Closes: #673109)
+ [NT] Fix false positive "dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink"
for shared libraries installed in /lib. Lintian now
correctly expects the dev-symlink beneath /usr/lib.
Thanks to Guillem Jover for the report.
* checks/source-copyright:
+ [NT] Use the in-memory contents of the copyright file
instead of re-reading the file when parsing it as a
DEP-5 copyright file.
.
* collection/objdump-info{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Drop -D flag for readelf when looking for symbols.
This makes some checks more reliable in Ubuntu. Thanks
to Marc Deslauriers for the report and the patch.
(Closes: #673451)
.
* debian/control:
+ [NT] Add versioned Build-Depends on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~)
as the test suite relies on it. Thanks to Luca Falavigna
for reporting it.
+ [NT] Update the description to mention that the version
of Lintian is calibrated for version 3.9.3 of the Policy.
* debian/lintian.install:
+ [NT] Remove usr/share/lintian/data - Lintian does not
need it and dpkg will not replace the dir with a symlink.
.
* data/scripts/interpreters:
+ [NT] Add falcon, gbr3, jython and ngp2 as known interpreters.
(Closes: #669911, #671387, #662134, #667895)
* data/scripts/versioned-interpreters:
+ [NT] New file.
+ [NT] Added python2.7 to the list of known Python 2 interpreters.
* data/spelling/corrections:
+ [RA] Remove corrections for "writeable" and "overwriteable". These
spellings are permitted by the OED in UK English. (Closes: #673611)
+ [NT] Add correction for "pointer".
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/*.pm:
+ [NT] Localize "$_" to avoid truncating caller's variable.
(Closes: #673613)
.
* t:
+ [NT] Generate empty ".so" files used in the test. This
resolves an issue where dpkg-source would exclude them
causing a FTBFS. (Closes: #673198)
+ [NT] Fix test failure in derivatives where some hardening
flags are enabled by default. Thanks to Marc Deslauriers
for the report and the patch. (Closes: #673449)
