(Closes: #452336) + [HE] When checking that a lib is linked against libc, search for libc.so, not any library beginning with libc. Thanks for the bug and patch to Ruben Porras <nahoo82@gmail.com>. (Closes: #448652) + [RA] Ignore the gf suffix from the gfortran migration when checking whether the package name matches the SONAME. Thanks, Kevin B. McCarty. (Closes: #448207) * checks/changelog-file{.desc,}: + [RA] Check that the latest changelog entry has a later version than the previous entry. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst.

(Closes: #453779) * checks/control-file{.desc,}: + [RA] Diagnose stronger dependencies that imply weaker dependencies, such as the same dependency in both Depends and Recommends or Recommends and Suggests.

Patch by gregor herrmann <gregor+debian@comodo.priv.at>. (Closes: #451689) + [HE] Add warning copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate if the maintainer left the dh_make boilerplate in the copyright file. Based on patch by Cyril Brulebois <cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr>. (Closes: #448677) + [RA] Check for the complete GFDL included in the copyright file and expand copyright-file-contains-full-gpl-license to look for GPL v3 references.

(Closes: #447257) * checks/debconf: + [HE] Explicitly allow the phrase "no longer" in boolean debconf questions. (Closes: #447718) * checks/description.desc: + [RA] Upgrade the legacy Homepage tag to a warning. * checks/fields: + [HE] Add 'doc-package-should-be-section-doc', 'python-package-should-be-section-python', 'perl-package-should-be-section-perl'. Ideas shamelessy stolen from linda. (Closes: #452839) + [RA] Allow Python dependencies in Build-Depends when using another variant for calling Python in the clean target. Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz. (Closes: #444642) * checks/files{.desc,}: + [HE,RA] Add 'package-contains-empty-directory' check, but ignore dirs in /var and /etc and handle /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/share/perl5 directories separately with a lower priority level since they're very common. (Closes: #452316, #357838) + [HE] Add checks for game packages that contain no game executables (package-section-games-but-contains-no-game) or that contain anything in usr/bin at all, which is usually a mistake. (package-section-games-but-contains-no-game). (Closes: #451668) + [RA] Downgrade symlink-should-be-relative to a warning since it's a Policy should. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #454239) * checks/lintian.desc: + [RA] Add critical as a recognized urgency. * checks/patch-systems: + [HE] Add complete new check script, intended to check for usual problems when using patch systems. Start with three checks for common dpatch problems. Idea loosely based on patch by Carl Fürstenberg <azatoth@gmail.com>. (Closes: #437959) * checks/po-debconf.desc: + [RA] not-using-po-debconf is now an error per Policy section 3.9.1. * checks/rules: + [HE] Implement 'binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep', checking for rules in binary-arch when the package is arch: all.

Debian Policy now allows local and test -a/-o specifically and this is pointless portability. * checks/standards-version: + [RA] 3.7.3 is now the current Standards-Version and anything older than 3.6.2 is ancient. . * debian/control: + [TK] Add Vcs-* fields to point to Lintian's repository. + [RA] Update standards version to 3.7.3. * debian/dirs: + [RA] Stop creating empty /usr/share/lintian/{overrides,info} directories. The latter is no longer used and the former is shipped with packages that include overrides. . * frontend/lintian: + [RA] Add critical as a recognized urgency. + [RA] Diagnose malformed override entries; don't just ignore them. + [RA] Fix some odd formatting. + [RA] Display a summary of overridden tags as an N: output line. Requested by Steve McIntyre. (Closes: #452804) . * man/lintian.1: + [RA] Be clearer about what files lintian takes as arguments; in particular, mention that source packages are checked by providing the .dsc file as an argument. (Closes: #441636) + [RA] Fix a slight spacing problem with the --color flag. + [RA] Remove mention of unused /usr/share/lintian/info directory. . * lib/DebVersions.pm: + [RA] Remove. This isn't used by anything and would produce incorrect results (it doesn't understand ~), and Dep.pm provides version comparison routines that use dpkg. * lib/Tags.pm: + [RA] Keep statistics on overrides by severity. . * reporting/html_reports: + [RA] Change the layout of the per-maintainer lintian pages. Now, each report will be in /reports/maintainer/<email>.html where <email> is the maintainer's e-mail address with unsafe characters replaced by _. This should allow better links from the QA pages. Thanks, Stefano Zacchiroli. . * unpack/list-srcpkg: + [RA] Escape ; and newline characters in all package fields before writing them to the index (uncovered when someone accidentally appended a package description to Standards-Version).
