-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 13:22:03 -0700 Source: lintian Binary: lintian Architecture: source all Version: 1.23.20 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Debian Lintian Maintainers <lintian-maint@debian.org> Changed-By: Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org> Description: lintian - Debian package checker Closes: 196122 232442 321139 362145 365452 365466 365503 366104 366233 Changes: lintian (1.23.20) unstable; urgency=low . The "Policy backlog clearing is a wonderful sight" release . * checks/debconf{.desc,}: + [RA] Add checks for the Developer's Reference guidelines for debconf templates. Based on a patch by Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #362145) * checks/fields{.desc,}: + [RA] xfonts-encodings is also not an xfont package. Thanks, Drew Parsons. (Closes: #365503) + [RA] Report errors for dependencies on python-minimal. Thanks to Steve Langasek for the analysis. + [RA] Allow a build-dependency on patchutils when using CDBS with one of the patch systems, as patchutils may be optionally used to check for bad patches. Thanks, Marc Dequènes (Duck). (Closes: #365466) + [RA] Since some packages should be in Build-Depends and some should be in Build-Depends-Indep, report all of the misplaced ones rather than just the first one. That way, users know which to move. + [RA] Allow perl in Build-Depends if invoked in clean rules. + [RA] Allow patch in Build-Depends if yada unpatch is invoked in clean rules. * checks/files{.desc,}: + [RA] Add an explicit check for non-world-readable executables to provide a more detailed explanation and tighten the accepted permissions of setuid and setgid executables to just the permissions mentioned in Policy 10.9. Add Policy 10.9 references to the descriptions. Reported by Piotr Engelking. (Closes: #365452) + [RA] Add a request to the descriptions of setuid and setgid tags to add a lintian override for documentation if the permissions are intentional. + [RA] Report a more specific tag for binaries that are owned by group games but are not setgid. + [RA] Remove the check for files in /usr/lib/cgi-bin. This policy change was reverted. + [RA] Allow files installed in /usr/include/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 but require Pre-Depends on x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0). Remove the duplicate check for files in /usr/bin/X11 since it no longer adds additional information. * checks/menus{.desc,}: + [RA] Check that all files referenced in doc-base control files are present in the package, based on a patch by Robert Luberda. Also check that Index references only one file and that Format names a known format. (Closes: #196122) + [RA] Fix incomplete diagnosis of missing calls to update-menus. + [RA] Change postrm to prerm in the check for a useless install-docs call; calling install-docs in postrm is always a warning and useless calls in prerm were not being diagnosed. * checks/po-debconf{.desc,}: + [RA] Exempt packages that use yada from the POTFILES.in check and from checking for up-to-date templates, since yada does this at build time. Reported by Piotr Roszatycki. (Closes: #321139) + [RA] Check for stray debconf-mergetemplate files in packages using po-debconf. Thanks, Martin Quinson. (Closes: #232442) + [RA] General cleanup of tag descriptions for grammar and markup. Move man page references into Ref fields. * checks/shared-libs.desc: + [RA] Document that exceptions to the -fPIC rule for shared libraries are possible and ask that such exceptions be documented with lintian overrides. * checks/standards-version: + [RA] Update to 3.7.2. (Closes: #366233) + [RA] Report the current standards version when warning about too old or too new versions. Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #366104) . * debian/control: + [RA] Update standards version to 3.7.2 (no changes required). + [RA] Update description to note calibration for Policy 3.7.2.
