The "37 bug fixes is enough for one release" release. . * checks/binaries{.desc,}: + [RA] Don't require objdump's errors on files with bad dynamic tables to start at the beginning of the line. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #459509) + [RA] Warn for packages that have binaries requiring libc but which don't depend on libc. Patch from Niko Tyni. (Closes: #461350) + [RA] Remove check for libc5 binaries. libc5 is long-gone. + [RA] Remove various dead tag descriptions we no longer issue. + [RA] Warn on packages that provide Perl modules but don't depend on perlapi-*. Thanks, Niko Tyni. (Closes: #463142) + [RA] Check files in /usr/lib/debug directories mirroring the main file system to verify they are detached debugging symbols and not full libraries or executables. Thanks, Neil Williams and Niko Tyni. (Closes: #462456) * checks/changelog-file: + [RA] Decode the changelog entry from UTF-8 before doing length checks. Thanks, Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #461822) + [RA] Check for mismatches between the latest changelog and NEWS.Debian entries if they're for the same package version. Thanks, Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #461823) * checks/common_data.pm: + [RA] Add Bugs, Origin, and Breaks to known binary and udeb fields and Bugs to known source fields, matching current dpkg. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #459787) * checks/debhelper: + [RA] CDBS now defaults to a debhelper compatibility level of V5. + [FL] Update list of debhelper commands that modify maintainer scripts. Add dh_icons, dh_installudev, dh_pysupport, dh_pycentral and rename dh_installtexfonts to dh_installtex. + [RA] Add checks for versioned debhelper dependencies for dh_icons and dh_installifupdown. Thanks, Evgeni Golov. (Closes: #463028) * checks/fields{.desc,}: + [RA] The CDBS ant rules are in class, not rules. Thanks, Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #460168) + [RA] Versioned Python dependencies satisfy a Python debian/rules requirement. Add a separate tag for Python build dependencies to explain the dependency possibilities. Ignore dh_python if debian/pyversion or a Python-Version control field are present. Thanks, Loïc Minier. (Closes: #460625) + [RA] Check that -dbg packages depend on their base package. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #458785) + [RA] Check the value of Dm-Upload-Allowed. + [RA] Warn about packages with a list as the maintainer and no Uploaders. Thanks, Sune Vuorela. (Closes: #462635) + [RA] Remove the package-has-duplicate-relation test. It gets relations with different version strictness in different levels of dependency wrong and what it gets right dpkg-gencontrol strips out. * checks/files{.desc,}: + [RA] In many of the long descriptions for symlink-related tags, mention that running dh_link will fix symlink problems. + [RA] Fix a long-standing error in the regex checking for *.desktop files in /usr/share/gnome/apps that caused the tag to never be issued. Remove the check for /usr/share/applnk, since obsolete or not KDE appears to actively use it still. + [RA] Check for *.devhelp{2,} files not linked into devhelp's search path. Based on a patch by Bradley Smith. (Closes: #273309) + [RA] Warn about /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} scripts that won't be executed by run-parts because of periods in the name. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #458742) + [RA] Warn of .gitignore files installed by the package. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #459502) + [RA] Warn of more language extensions on files in the user's path. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #459514) + [RA] Remove the tag for empty Perl directories. The underlying issue is fixed in Perl 5.10; there's no need to add code to debian/rules when 5.10 is landing soon. (Closes: #463138) * checks/infofiles: + [RA] Don't issue unknown-intepreter for maintainer scripts with weird interpreters. checks/scripts already handles this and the tag wasn't defined. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #460964) + [RA] Fix Perl warnings given a zero-byte maintainer script. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #460966) * checks/init.d{.desc,}: + [RA] Downgrade a missing LSB Short-Description keyword to info since it's not required for functionality. Thanks, Petter Reinholdtsen. (Closes: #460499) * checks/manpages{.desc,}: + [RA] Make hyphen-used-as-minus-sign more conservative to avoid false positives with non-ASCII text and catch hyphens at the start of lines. Thanks, Michal Čihař. (Closes: #459871) + [CW] Use man's new --warnings option to catch use of undefined strings, macros, or diversions in manual pages, which usually indicate mistaken use of "." or "'" at the start of a line. This check is only enabled if man 2.5.1 or later is installed. (Closes: #377392) * checks/menu-format: + [RA] Avoid a Perl warning for desktop entries without Exec. + [RA] Fix a bug that prevented Exec keys in desktop files from being checked at all. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #462601) + [RA] Exempt packages providing the su wrappers from the check for using su-to-root. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. * checks/menus: + [RA] Don't issue unknown-interpreter for maintainer scripts with weird interpreters. + [RA] Fix Perl warnings given a zero-byte maintainer script. * checks/po-debconf: + [RA] Exclude from not-using-po-debconf template files with only the shared templates used for coordination with dictionaries-common. Thanks, Thomas Bushnell BSG. (Closes: #460731) * checks/rules.desc: + [RA] To fix an ignores-make-clean-error, suggest removing "-" for static makefiles. Thanks, Andrea Colangelo. (Closes: #458164) * checks/scripts{.desc,}: + [RA] Re-add php4-cli as a valid interpreter for those who want to maintain stable compatibility. Thanks, Thomas Goirand. + [RA] Be clearer in the tag name that php-cli dependencies should be versioned. Add more explanation to the long description of several interpreter tags about limitations and requested bug filings. + [RA] Remove tcl as a valid interpreter since tclx8.3 is obsolete. (tclsh is the standard interpreter name.) + [RA] Require versioned dependencies for OCaml scripts. Each version is ABI-incompatible. Thanks, Samuel Mimram. (Closes: #462065) + [RA] Add tcl and tk metapackages. Thanks, Sergei Golovan. (Closes: #463281) + [RA] Catch exec wrappers that use $* instead of $@ (not that this is a good idea). Thanks, Adam D. Barratt. (Closes: #463476) + [RA] Integrate several more bashism checks from checkbashisms in devscripts. Patch from Adam D. Barratt. (Closes: #464026) . * debian/control: + [RA] Suggest man-db >= 2.5.1 for better warning support. + [RA] Wrap Uploaders. . * frontend/lintian: + [RA] Include info tags in the broken-down description of the override count since they're included in the total. Based on a patch by Chris Lamb. (Closes: #459851) + [RA] Don't try to report overrides when not checking a package. Thanks, Håkon Stordahl. (Closes: #461978) + [RA] Cope with a relative path to the lab. Patch from Håkon Stordahl. (Closes: #461982) + [RA] Don't require *.changes files for source-only uploads to have a Description field. Thanks, Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #462586) . * lib/Spelling.pm: + [RA] Add spelling corrections for PostgreSQL and OCaml and lots of new capitalization corrections.
