lintian 2.86.0 released

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

Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
version 2.86.0.

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:

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Revert running each check in a separate process to prevent some file
    descriptor regression. (Closes: #966122, #966368)
  * Also consider pseudo-headers allowed by DEP-3 when examining patches.
    (Closes: #966024)
  * Do not issue the patch-not-forwarded-upstream tag when Origin: is
    upstream or backport. (Closes: #966140)
  * Analyse matching behavior and relative order of globbing patterns in
    debian/copyright. (Closes: #905747)
  * Rename two similar tags related to Rules-Requires-Root.
  * Flag overrides with mismatched context separately from those that are
    not used.
  * Wait for each lexgrog and man and convert documentation/manual check to
    IPC::Run3. (Closes: #966072)
  * Salsa setup:
    - Set CCACHE_DISABLE in t/bin/build-test-packages; otherwise standard
      Salsa CI pipelines will fail.
    - Use the Salsa CI team's standard pipeline instead of Lintian's custom
      CI setup.
  * Remove three obsolete tags from pkg-perl team checks.
.
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Avoid false-positives when matching sensible-utils utilities (eg.
    "i3-sensible-pager"). (Closes: #966022)
  * Rename send-patch to patch-not-forwarded-upstream; tag names should
    ideally be descriptions of the world, not instructions. Update regex to
    search for released version numbers in a .changes file.

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