The ``Fix those false positives, mkay'' release, prepared for all Debian Maintainers by Frank Lichtenheld and Jeroen van Wolffelaar. Best served cold. . * debian/control: + [FL] Make Uploaders a single line field. It didn't really break, but at least DDPO had its difficulties . * man/lintian.1: + [FL] sync man page with the --help output by adding missing options Based on a patch by Robert Lemmen. (Closes: #198615) + [FL] sync man page with the current list of checks and collection scripts . * checks/binaries: + [FL] Don't complain about non-stripped kernel modules. Patch by Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsaker (Closes: #203373) + [JvW] Exclude binaries and packages named *-static from the binary-is-static test. Exception for sash removed. (Closes: #215235) * checks/changelog-file: + [FL] Check that encoding of changelog file is UTF-8, based on a patch by Denis Barbier (Closes: #175318) * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}: + [FL] Don't advise to point to the perl packages' copyright file. Thanks to Martin Orr for pointing this out. (Closes: #193293) + [FL] Fixed false positives of copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl due to the GFDL. Thanks to Ross Burton for reporting this. (Closes: #192278) * checks/deb-format{,.desc}: + [JvW] Fix perl variable-name clash causing unusually formatted error output (only important if you do automatic processing on it) + [FL] The current script is by Denis Barbier, correcting author in .desc file * checks/debhelper.desc: + [FL] correct reference to debhelper manpage. It's debhelper(7), not debhelper(1). Thanks to Brian Nelson for pointing this out (Closes: #188245) * checks/debconf: + [JvW] Update valid types, since currently 'title' is supported now too (Closes: #234379, #234608) * checks/description: + [FL] fix description-is-dh_make-template check. (Closes: #215125) Fix suggested by Josip Rodin * checks/etcfiles.desc: + [FL] correcting abbrevation of etcfiles to 'etc', was 'ini' which is already used by init.d * checks/fields: + [FL] Really check only "real" dependency fields for needlessy depends (Closes: #185035) + [JvW] Don't consider depending on coreutils bad, as this is in a way a versioned depend (Closes: #216536) + [FL] Remove the build-depends-without-arch-dep check. It produces way too much false positives and can only be replaced by a sophisticated debian/rules parser (Closes: #192037, #202950, #214231) + [JvW] Test syntax of Uploaders: too + [JvW] Accept more whitespace in relations, which is allowed according to policy, thanks Adrian Bunk for noticing, FL for patch (Closes: #200280) * checks/filenames: + [JvW] Revised the symlink detection stuff, it is now more rigorous, and has seperate warning for recursive symlinks that are otherwise not necessarily wrong (Closes: #118080) * checks/files: + [FL] only issue package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5 if there is no binary perl file at all in the package, since this reflects the way the Installer module behaves (Closes: #199898) * checks/huge-usr-share: + [JvW] Check for a big /usr/share (currently 1-2MB will trigger it) in arch-dependent packages. Currently just I:. Thanks Steve McIntyre for the idea. (Closes: #232849) * checks/menus{,.desc}: + [FL] Remove non-exectuable-in-etc-menu-methods as it doesn't reflects the current menu manual (Closes: #229460) * checks/po-debconf: + [JvW] Check whether files listed in debian/po/POTFILES.in actually exist, and only positively detect po-debconf usage if dependency is there. (Patch by Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org>, only minimally modified) * checks/scripts: + [FL] Fix check for "exec ..." line. Fix suggested by Josip Rodin. (Closes: #212811) + [JvW] Tighten up mknod, dpkg --print-architecture and killall detection in maintainer scripts, would need rewrite to be really sane. (Closes: #148548, #161820, #192300) * checks/shared-libs: + [FL] Be more tolerant to variations when checking for postrm-unsafe-ldconfig. Thanks to Martin Godisch, Steinar H. Gunderson and Aidas Kasparas for their input. (Closes: #218543, #233740) . * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1: + [FL] tar uses now h to signal hardlinks which breaks a lot of our code. so sed'ing it away.
