The "new Python policy" release . * checks/binaries.desc: + [RA] Greatly expand the binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath long description based on recent discussion in debian-policy. Add a reference to the wiki page. (Closes: #378054, #378055) * checks/changelog-file{.desc,}: + [RA] Diagnose changelog files that are symlinks, using the new way the changelog-file collection script processes them. * checks/common_data.pm: + [RA] Add Python-Version as a known source and binary field. * checks/copyright-file: + [RA] Catch "<fill in http/ftp site>" as well as the string without "http/". Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #374167) * checks/deb-format{.desc,}: + [RA] Remove deb-created-with-broken-tar; the bug was actually in dpkg, and the dpkg in stable has been fixed. Thanks Jari Aalto and Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #375638, #376030) * checks/debconf: + [RA] Diagnose a missing template description only once and avoid Perl warnings. Thanks, Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #377654) * checks/debhelper: + [RA] Use the standard control file parser rather than a custom parser that can't handle continuation lines. + [RA] Warn if dh_python is used without debian/pycompat in non-CDBS packages and check for the debhelper version required for Python policy. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #375318) * checks/fields{.desc,}: + [RA] Don't warn virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends for Recommends and rewrite the tag description to be more accurate. Thanks to Martin F. Krafft for the report. (Closes: #370720) + [RA] ~ is now permitted in version numbers. (Closes: #381965) + [RA] Catch and check dependencies correctly for debconf-updatepo run from the clean target. Thanks, James Westby. (Closes: #380399) + [RA] Warn when encountering an aspell dictionary package that isn't arch: all. Thanks, Piotr Engelking. (Closes: #374899) + [RA] Check the syntax of the new Python-Version field. + [RA] Check for missing build dependencies on python-central or python-support. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. + [RA] Check for old << dependencies on Python in Python packages that lack a Python-Version control field, as these are probably packages that don't follow the new Python policy. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. * checks/files{.desc,}: + [RA] Provide a better explanation of why Debian packages shouldn't ship files in /srv. (Closes: #379176) + [RA] Warn about files installed into /etc/gconf/schemas. + [RA] Warn about files in /usr/lib/site-python. Thanks, Thomas Viehmann and Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #372748) * checks/manpages{.desc,}: + [RA] Warn about manpage short descriptions of the form "manual page for program" (usually generated by help2man). * checks/menu: + [RA] Ignore trailing whitespace in doc-base files. Patch from Bas Zoetekouw. (Closes: #379749) * checks/nmu{.desc,}: + [RA] When checking for an NMU changelog entry, require "NMU" be surrounded by word boundaries. + [RA] Warn if the changelog incorrectly indicates an NMU. Thanks to George Danchev for the report. * checks/scripts{.desc,}: + [RA] Except mkstemp from possibly-insecure-handling-of-tmp-files for maintainer scripts written in Perl. + [RA] Mention [[ ]] explicitly in the possible-bashism long description as requiring a Korn shell and make it clearer that the primary arbiter of this test is the POSIX shell specification. (Closes: #381800 by clarification) + [RA] Use the Dep library to check dependencies. Add php5 to the interpreter list and correctly handle the dependencies for version-less PHP scripts. (Closes: #379558) + [RA] Check for proper dependencies if gconf-schemas is called in maintainer scripts and diagnose calling gconftool(-2) directly. Thanks, Josselin Mouette. (Closes: #333311) * checks/version-substvars{.desc,}: + [RA] New check from Adeodato Simó for proper use of substvars for versioned dependencies between packages built from the same source package so that NMUs will work properly. Also catch use of such a substvar for a versioned dependency on a package not built from the same source. (Closes: #377141, #376596) . * collection/changelog-file: + [RA] Be much more careful about changelog files that are symlinks. Don't skip over changelog symlinks just because they point to non-existant files, mark unsafe symlinks or symlinks to non-existent files by creating copyright as a symlink to a non-existent file in the lab, and don't create an empty dummy changelog if we couldn't find a changelog. Correctly handle changelog files that are symlinks to other files in the same directory. . * debian/copyright: + [RA] Add Subversion repository location. . * frontend/lintian: + [JvW] Give error if there is no "Description" field in .changes, this is required by dak . * frontend/lintian-info: + [RA] Add the -t or --tags option that, given a tag name, prints out the description. (Closes: #376109) . * lib/Tags.pm: + [RA] If a tag has been overriden via any mechanism, do not add it to any of the statistics (tag, severity, or significance). Before, the override only suppressed a record for the specific statistic the override was based on, meaning that classic tag-based overrides didn't suppress severity statistics. Overridden error tags would therefore cause lintian to exit with non-zero status. Thanks, Andree Leidenfrost and Martin F. Krafft. (Closes: #377182, #374314) . * man/lintian.1: + [RA] Better document the --archivedir and --dist options and how lintian constructs the path to an archive. (Closes: #383203) + [RA] Document new version-substvars check script. * man/lintian-info.1: + [RA] Document the new -t or --tags option. . * reporting/html_reports: + [RA] Include the lintian version in HTML page footers. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst.
