The "greetings from Argentina" release. . * checks/binaries: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect throughout rather than reparsing file-info and objdump-info. * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect instead of reading the fields/*, file-info and objdump-info files. + [ADB] Remove a misplaced word from the description of the tag "debian-changelog-file-contains-invalid-email-address". * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}: + [ADB] Drop the "copyright line too long" check. Most of the issues it flags aren't easily fixable, particularly where the copyright file is (semi)automatically generated. (Closes: #491302, #491365, #491685) + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect for accessing control fields and reading the list of files in the package. + [ADB] Don't flag use of version 1 of the GPL, or licenses using phrases such as "compatible with the GPL" (for example, the W3C Software License) as missing a reference to common-licenses + [ADB] Replace references to the GPL in GFDL and LGPL related tags with the appropriate license. Also remove a misplaced word. * checks/cruft: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect for accessing control fields * checks/debconf: + [ADB] Don't complain about unused debconf templates in udebs. (Closes: #491135) + [RA] Try to recognize at least some debconf template uses in Perl. + [ADB] Replace fields/* and scripts access with Lintian::Collect + [ADB] Don't flag the shared templates used for dictionaries-common co-ordination as unused. + [FL] Remove debconf-error-requires-versioned-depends since post-lenny a tag for the sake of sarge-backports clearly makes no sense anymore. (Closes: #493920) * checks/description: + [RA] Don't warn about a synopsis that ends in "etc." Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #491252) + [ADB] Use Lintain::Collect to read the package's description. * checks/etcfiles: + [ADB] Walk Lintian::Collect->index instead of reading the "index" file. * checks/fields{,.desc}: + [RA] Warn about packages that depend exclusively on makedev. Thanks, Josh Triplett. (Closes: #491625) + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect::field() to determine the content of fields from control files rather than reading the fields/* files. This and similar changes to other scripts should improve performance as the Collect object caches the lookup result. + [ADB] Reformat a couple of tags' descriptions. * checks/files{,.desc}: + [ADB] Switch to using Lintian::Collect. + [ADB] Fix a couple of bugs in the parsing of the list of scripts contained within a package which led to scripts in /usr/share/doc being incorrectly tagged as executable-in-usr-share-doc. + [ADB] Update a couple of Policy references. Thanks Jordà Polo. + [ADB] Warn when a package embeds a copy of the Universal Feed Parser. Patch from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #493156) + [FL, ADB] Don't issue tag file-in-unusal-dir for files where we already issued one of the specific dir-or-file-in-* tags. (Closes: #493921) + [ADB] Add a missing "have" to package-contains-ancient-file's description. * checks/huge-usr-share: + [ADB] Replace (the single) direct access to fields/* with ::field() + [ADB] Replace an outdated link to the Developer's Reference. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/infofiles{,.desc}: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect to retrieve information about the files being processed. + [ADB] Update the tag "install-info-not-called-with-quiet-option"'s Policy reference. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/init.d.desc: + [ADB] Update a Policy reference. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/lintian.desc: + [ADB] Add a Policy reference to bad-section-in-changes-file. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/manpages{,.desc}: + [RA] Suppress warnings about inability to break a line that contains a URL. URLs often can't be usefully broken. Based on a patch by Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #491578) + [ADB] Update the Policy reference for manpage-has-wrong-extension. + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect rather than parsing the "index" and "file-info" files. + [FL] In description for manpage-has-errors-from-man note how to reproduce this errors outside of lintian. (Closes: #492930) * checks/menu-format{,.desc}: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect to parse the list of files in the package. + [ADB] Don't raise menu-command-not-in-package for 'sensible-browser' or 'sh'. Thanks Raphael Geissert. + [RA] Warn about .kdelnk files and [KDE Desktop Entry] headings in desktop files. Patch from Raphael Geissert. * checks/menus{,.desc}: + [ADB] Fix a typo; thanks Jordà Polo. + [ADB] Use the file list from Lintian::Collect. * checks/nmu{,.desc}: + [ADB] Use Lintian::Collect for maintainer / uploader information + [ADB] Add a DevRef reference to changelog-should-mention-nmu. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/patch-systems: + [RA] Combine all patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff instances into a single message to reduce the noise from packages that rebuild all auto-generated files outside the patch system. Thanks, Julien Cristau. (Closes: #491296) + [ADB] Migrate fields/* reading to use ::Collect::field(). * checks/po-debconf{,.desc}: + [ADB] Check that at least one complete translation exists. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/rules: + [ADB] Use ::Collect for field access. + [FL] Do not complain about using dh in a unused binary-* target. * checks/scripts{,.desc}: + [RA] Warn about maintainer scripts that prepend a path to commands. Based on a patch by Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #376184) + [ADB] Don't read fields/*, scripts, index or file-info directly as the contents have almost certainly been cached in Lintian::Collect already. + [ADB] Update a couple of Policy references. Thanks Jordà Polo. * checks/shared-libs.{,desc}: + [ADB] Improve the description of no-symbols-control-file. + [ADB] Migrate to using ::Collect instead of parsing the index, file-info and objdump-info files directly. + [ADB] Disable ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb as it can never be tested correctly using the information currently available to the scripts * checks/watch-file: + [FL] Do not issue debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version for empty watch files. . * data/doc-base/sections: + [ADB] Resynchronize with doc-base's section list (adding Programming/OCaml). (Closes: #491440) . * debian/postrm: + [FL] Do not try to remove /var/spool/lintian if it doesn't exist (dpkg might already removed it at this point). . * doc/desc-files: + [ADB] Update the description of tags to include experimental and info tags. * doc/README: + [ADB] Add -E / --show-experimental, -T / --tags and --tags-from-file to the option list. . * frontend/lintian: + [FL, ADB] Add new --tags/-T option to limit the amount of checks run not by check names but by names of tags you're interested in. Requested by Joerg Jaspert for ftpmaster. (Closes: #493903) + [FL] Add --tags-from-file option to make it easier to specify a long list of tags. . * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm: + [ADB] When parsing objdump-info, indicate whether a shared object is an Ocaml executable. Also add information on segments which various checks scripts use which hadn't made it here yet. + [ADB] Make index() return a hash rather than an array + [ADB] Add support for parsing the "scripts" index file * lib/Read_taginfo.pm: + [FL] Handle URLs in the Ref: field. * lib/Tags.pm: + [ADB] If --tags was used, don't issue tags that aren't in the provided list. . * man/lintian.1 + [ADB] Update the list of check scripts, removing the no longer present deb-format and perl and adding the nmu script. + [FL] Document the new --tags/-T option. + [FL] Document the new --tags-from-file option. . * reporting/templates/index.tmpl: + [RA] Add a link to lintian.log. Suggested by Stefano Zacchiroli. . * t/: + [FL] Begin work on a new testsuite. . * testset/fields: + [ADB] New testset from Tobias Quathamer (including some tags which previously weren't tested) * testset/tags.scripts{,.sed}: + [ADB] Munge .changes filenames so that the tests produce consistent output across architectures Checksums-Sha1: b8f6a2acca6ac078f5e641b4b3a965ed965906c0 1123 lintian_1.24.3.dsc 41caf7e8d07bd78393dd5ecb7e34201f2089880b 486467 lintian_1.24.3.tar.gz 6dc1b8ae29e0872fe5f5080465eee7c234fe9e81 361460 lintian_1.24.3_all.deb Checksums-Sha256: e7a323b903db95d2426517abb4219500f3fd45394e77cfca48687e19f1446099 1123 lintian_1.24.3.dsc 8dad1d4dcc5500685a0a9e610a49ed2e07e91d400b51443cd07363a20e4b76c2 486467 lintian_1.24.3.tar.gz f22e5fc828980f1ad57f0658499686fe618788e0699d4494f884a47185d46aba 361460 lintian_1.24.3_all.deb Files: 9821fe44ddf6d391ff0f341e300906b5 1123 devel optional lintian_1.24.3.dsc bbd146521dc381b5d771f313d7c1c6c2 486467 devel optional lintian_1.24.3.tar.gz 6fc40f5e39a7baace4a2de08bb3347b5 361460 devel optional lintian_1.24.3_all.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkidEvIACgkQQbn06FtxPfA8dgCgve4z1NiGag/DObk9JV5EibR6 ldwAn39FcHI+JvLuoKThloKSo7+K7j0g =/Svk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Accepted: lintian_1.24.3.dsc to pool/main/l/lintian/lintian_1.24.3.dsc lintian_1.24.3.tar.gz to pool/main/l/lintian/lintian_1.24.3.tar.gz lintian_1.24.3_all.deb to pool/main/l/lintian/lintian_1.24.3_all.deb
