Bug#886096: lintian: Emit warnings for Alioth URLs in packaging (migration to Salsa)
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.67
Severity: wishlist
According to https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc all packaging projects
hosted on Alioth need to be moved away, preferably to Salsa.
This at least affects:
* ${VCS}.debian.org and anonscm.debian.org in Vcs-* headers and
debian/upstream/metadata (with ${VCS} in at least git, svn, hg, bzr,
darcs, arch, and cvs).
* http(s)://*.alioth.debian.org/ in Homepage headers,
debian/upstream/metadata, and maybe also debian/copyright.
IMHO these should emit a tag at at least warning/normal level.
According to https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation the
urgency for changing Maintainer fields, etc. which point to Alioth
mailing lists is lower. Hence for now, I suggest to also emit a
(separate) tag for these, but with severity informational/minor:
* lists.alioth.debian.org in the Maintainer and Uploaders fields
* Maybe also lists.alioth.debian.org elsewhere in packaging,
e.g. Mailing list archives in debian/upstream/metadata,
debian/copyright or so.
Additionally, some currently emitted tags can be probably removed or
replaced with according salsa.debian.org-based tags:
* vcs-field-not-canoncial
Then there's another set which might need updates, too:
* vcs-field-bitrotted
* vcs-field-uses-not-recommended-uri-format
* vcs-git-uses-invalid-user-uri
Feel free to clone this bug report in case these things won't be
implemented at the same time.
