["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
2.77.0.

Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
policy as well as some checks for common errors.

This version includes the following changes:

  [ Simon Quigley ]
  * Add a new --fail-on command-line option for more control over the exit
    status. (Closes: #709932)

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Fix several 'TODO' tests using the "literal" match strategy.
    (Closes: #921112)
  * Reverse the exit statuses for program errors and policy violations.
    (Re: #709932)
  * Pin installation of debhelper to -backports in the continuous
    integration pipeline for buster.
  * Use the Config::Tiny Perl module to parse configuration files.
  * Merge two stages of the Gitlab CI pipeline.

  [ Peter Pentchev ]
  * Fix a Python 2.x -> 3.x typo in a tag description.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Refresh data/fields/perl-provides.

  [ Paul Wise ]
  * Add several spelling corrections.

This version available now in Debian unstable and will be backported
to buster-backports once it has migrated to bullseye.
