The "Another 51 bites the dust. 169 left to go." release. . * Summary of tag changes: + Added: - boilerplate-copyright-format-uri - control-file-is-not-a-file - comma-separated-files-in-dep5-copyright - copyright-has-crs - debian-copyright-is-symlink - depends-on-packaging-dev - dh_installmanpages-is-obsolete - missing-field-in-dep5-copyright - missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright - missing-license-text-in-dep5-copyright - no-debian-copyright - obsolete-field-in-dep5-copyright - out-of-date-copyright-format-uri - package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files - perl-module-uses-perl4-libs-without-dep - readme-debian-contains-invalid-email-address - script-uses-perl4-libs-without-dep - syntax-error-in-dep5-copyright - unknown-copyright-format-uri - unknown-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright - unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright - unversioned-copyright-format-uri - vim-addon-within-vim-runtime-path - wiki-copyright-format-uri + Removed: - debian-changelog-file-contains-debmake-default-email-address - readme-debian-contains-debmake-default-email-address - script-calls-init-script-directly . * checks/*: + [NT] Dropped fields from Needs-Info, it is no longer needed. + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules LANG. (Closes: #637595) + [JW] Removed all whitespace lines to avoid confusing some dctrl parsers (notably grep-dctrl). (Closes: #639928) + [JW] Fix a number of broken references in the tag descriptions. (Closes: #639923) + [JW] Rewrote Debian Bug references using #nnnnnn notation. * checks/binaries.desc: + [NT] Remove the reference to the Library Packaging Guide, since it is no longer available (in Debian). (Closes: #640228) * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}: + [JW] Remove debmake-specific tag in favour of more general debian-changelog-file-contains-invalid-email-address. (Closes: #639946) + [JW,NT] Fixed use of uninitialized value as hash key. (Closes: #640238) + [NT] Mention that the missing native changelog tag can, in some cases, be emitted if it does not look like a Debian changelog. * checks/{conffile,etcfiles}{,.desc}: + [JW] Merged etcfiles into conffile. (Closes: #637590) * checks/conffile: + [NT] Skip all checks if "conffiles" is a symlink. * checks/control-files{,.desc}: + [NT] Check that all members of the control.tar.gz are either regular files or directories. * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}: + [JW] Check for CRLF line endings in copyright files. (Closes: #634191) + [JW] Extended helper-templates-in-copyright and ensure it is only emitted once per package. * checks/debhelper{,.desc}: + [NT] Recognise /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk as a cdbs-based build. This prevents false-positive "unneeded cdbs" warning. + [JW] Check for use of the obsolete dh_installmanpages debhelper program. Thanks to Joey Hess for the report. (Closes: #634112). * checks/debian-readme{,.desc}: + [JW] Replace debmake-specific tag with more general readme-debian-contains-invalid-email-address. * checks/description.desc: + [JW] Added references to some tags. (Closes: #640853) * checks/duplicate-files{,.desc}: + [NT] Replace the exception for "__init__.py" files by excluding all empty files from the check.

(Closes: #580427) + [JW] Bumped the severity of "no-human-maintainers", since it is now a Policy "must" directive. (Closes: #640856) + [JW,NT] If superfluous-clutter-in-homepage has been emitted, ignore the surrounding "<>" for the rest of the homepage checks. (Closes: #640947) + [NT] Added check for Build-Depending on libdbX.Y-dev (and related packages. Most packages should be able to use unversioned -dev packages.

(Closes: #639018) * checks/files{,.desc}: + [NT] Added exceptions to "extra-license-file" for manpages, static libraries, .pc-, elf and pyshared-data-files. This covers all the false-positives currently found in the liblicense package.

Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the initial patch. * checks/menus.desc: + [NT] Added reference to the doc-base manual to help people find the list of valid doc-base sections. (Closes: #584280) * checks/patch-systems: + [NT] Use lsdiff to determine if a patch modifies the debian dir as it is more accurate than diffstat for this. (Closes: #640131) * checks/rules: + [NT] Do a simple and minimal variable tracking. In very simple cases, it can determine which targets a variable contains (when the variable is used as a target). (Closes: #638411) * checks/scripts{,.desc}: + [NT] Remove script-calls-init-script-directly. (Closes: #617959) + [NT] Added check for Perl scripts using perl4 libs without depending on libperl4-core-libs-perl. Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the initial patch.

This should avoid a myriad of syntax error tags in some cases (such as perl), where the Debian changelog is not present and there is an upstream changelog. . * data/fields/archive-sections: + [NT] Fixed a typo in "otherosfs" section name. Thanks to Stefan Potyra for the report. (Closes: #637596) * data/files/fonts: + [NT] Refreshed against sid and now includes packages starting with "fonts-" as well.

(Closes: #640921) * data/spelling/corrections{,-multiword}: + [NT] Added some corrections for "remove" etc. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting those. + [JW,NT] Added more corrections.

Thanks to Jeremiah C. Foster for the initial contribution. . * frontend/lintian: + [NT] Lintian now mentions if overrides may have been ignored. This happens if a package contains an override for a tag that has been marked "non-overridable" by the current vendor profile. + [NT] Mention ".changes" as a valid file type in the "unknown file" error. Thanks to Michael Gilbert for the report and the patch. (Closes: #639430) + [NT] Always display a given tag if requested with --tags or --tags-from-file. Previously, pedantic and experimental tags were not shown unless the relevant options were also passed. + [JW,NT] Fixed a regression where --check-part ignored display settings (such as --display-info). (Closes: #640694) + [NT] If both --verbose and --quiet is used together, then use the last of them to appear rather than "both at the same time". (Closes: #640366) + [NT] Accept --quiet in lintianrc as "quiet". This option may not be used together with "verbose" in the config file. . * lib/Lintian/Check.pm: + [NT] Catch "Name <Name <Email>>" as a malformed email address. (Closes: #640489) + [JW] Catch misspellings of the "Debian QA Group" maintainer email (used for orphaned packages). (Closes: #640834) * lib/Lintian/Collect.pm: + [JW,NT] Create the source field from the package field if the former is not present. This fixes a number of false-positves introduced in 2.5.2.

Thanks to Carl Fürstenberg for the report. (Closes: #474590) + [NT] Remove the "respect-display-level" code. It is not as useful as intended. * lib/Text_utils.pm: + [NT] Close <p>-tags in dtml_to_html since the output is used in xhtml (xml), where all tags must be closed properly. (Closes: #639292) + [NT] Remove the last new line (if any) before a </pre> in tag to reduce the empty space to the next paragraph. * lib/Util.pm: + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules LANG. + [JW] Stricten the DCtrl parser to choke on some syntax errors that were silently ignored.

Only one of "verbose" and "quiet" may appear in the config file. . * profiles/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject.profile: + [NT] Refreshed to include udeb-uses-non-gzip-data-tarball. . * private/*: + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules LANG. * private/refresh-manual-refs: + [NT] Remove code to refresh refs to the Library Packaging Guide. + [JW] Added the java-policy and fixed the lintian ref. + [JW] Don't strip newlines from titles, but treat them as regular whitespace characters. + [JW] Strip some superfluous HTML markup from titles. . * reporting/{config,html_reports,templates/foot.tmpl}: + [NT] Added a link to the Lintian source code. * reporting/harness: + [NT] Added missing import statement. * reporting/html_reports: + [JW,NT] Create a gzip'ed version of the raw lintian.log.
