Replace uses of slashes as group separator with underscores; emit source name and version in JSON.
The use of slashes was a long-standing inconsistency with other parts
of Debian, particularly the archive.
Also includes the source name and source version in the JSON output.
That altogether obviates any need to parse the group id later, even
though it is still provided.

Omit Git hash from all Lintian version strings.
For unreleased versions, we used to store the short commit hash from
'git describe' in the database, but stripped it for display purposes

because the hash was never needed.
Drops the hash from all version strings. It will simplify the code in

Disregard a source's current Standard-Version when looking for newer policy releases.
The 'before' expression is a bit confusing because it disgards
everthing that meets the condition. The new condition causes the
current compliance version to be excluded. The fourth digit is now
being ignored as a non-normative policy change, just as it should.
This bug produced false positives for a wide range of packages,
including for Lintian itself.

Use semantic versioning for the output of '--version'.
Starting with version 2.6.0, Lintian adopted [1] a semantic versioning
scheme, but between releases we used the output of 'git describe'.
That format was incompatible.
From now on, we use the unreleased commit count as the "patch level"
which under our current scheme is zero for released versions. The
commit reference is kept as what SemVer calls "build metadata" for
easier navigation in git.
The versioning issue came up in Lintian's new web site. The packaging
hints displayed there are sometimes produced with unreleased versions.
At the same time, the Postgres database holds those hints and the tag
descriptions for different Lintian versions. The 'text' data type is
insufficient for ordering those columns. We plan to use a database
extension with a 'semver' data type [2] for that purpose.
We could probably use Debian's own 'debversion' data type [3] but that
module is presumably less well-tested. It furthermore suffers from
performance problems described in the open Bug#935637 (even though
those may not matter for the narrower version scheme Lintian adopted).

Drop tag ancient-standards-version; issuance was time variant and difficult to test.
To my knowledge, this was the only tag whose issuance varied over
time, when the same Lintian version was run against the same package.
The test suite required some engineering too to distinguish the tag
from out-of-date-standards-version, which was often overshadowed. All
that created recurring problems merely with the passage of time, and
espacially when new policy versions were recognized.
On a side note, the tag was probably among the more hated ones.
Lintian already issues many burdensome reminders, but none were
perceived as having so empty a purpose by many users.
The dropped tag may ultimately be replaced by other, comparable
diagnostics surrounding changlog entries. That puts the power back in
the hands of maintainers, who can then read the update checklist and
bump the Standards-Version when they have time. At that point, Lintian
may have already reminded them of some of the needed items, anyway.

Ignore build profiles when flagging use of py3versions in d/rules. (Closes: #978144)
A build prerequisite with python3-all-dev was already sufficient to
permit the use of py3versions in d/rules, but cracklib2 qualified that
with a build profile:
python3-all-dev:any (>= 3.1.3-2~) <!nopython>
The check was relaxed to disregard restrictions for architectures or
build profiles when the prerequisite is declared.
A general question remains whether Lintian should perhaps disregard
such restrictions more often.
The package mentioned in the bug report no longer triggers the tag:

Rename all 'noarch' routines and variables to 'norestrictions' throughout.
The underlying code in Lintian::Relation disregards both build
profiles and architectures. In the upcoming solution to Bug#978144,
Lintian::Relation helped ignore profiles but the bug fix shared data
structures with adjacent code that used it for architectures.
A future rewrite could easily introduce regressions for that bug. All
occurrences of 'noarch' were therefore replaced with 'norestriction'
where appropriate to avoid such confusion in the future.
Anyone seeking to rewrite later will now have to research each tag and
pick an appropriate variant in case Lintian::Relation learns how to
ignore build profiles or architectures separately, but not always both
at the same time.

Flag systemd temporary files placed in /var/run. (Closes: #984678)
Like the related tag systemd-service-file-refers-to-var-run this tag
is issued at the info level. (The bug report used an old name.)
The list from the codesearch.d.o link in the report flags package
sources, but not all of those files in source packages are actually
being installed. The new tag looks at installed files.
We were able to validate the tag with the following packages (but not,
for example, with celery, sagan, samba or wesnoth-14):
$ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5-otp_1.18.3-4_amd64.deb
I: krb5-otp: systemd-tmpfile-in-var-run usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/krb5-otp.conf

I: vrfydmn: systemd-tmpfile-in-var-run usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/vrfydmn.conf
$ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/v/vsftpd/vsftpd_3.0.3-13_amd64.deb
I: vsftpd: systemd-tmpfile-in-var-run usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/vsftpd.conf

I: zoneminder: systemd-tmpfile-in-var-run usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/zoneminder.conf
As a side note, the related tag for tmpfile declarations installed in
the wrong location was renamed to misplaced-systemd-tmpfiles. The
correct location is described in that tag's description. It is part
of our effort to make tag names less specific when the details is not
needed to distinguish tags from another.
This commit regenerates the profiles.
Thanks to Michael Biebl for this clearly written and well-researched
feature request!

Centralize operation of xargs in preparation for implementation in Perl.
A Perl implementation of xargs would make it possible to associate the
input for each invocation of the underlying command to the resulting
output.
It is helpful for programs like 'readelf' that produce different
output when called with multiple arguments. The number of arguments is
easily available, whicn helps with parsing.
Perhaps more significantly, it also allows the use of parallel
execution from within Perl without the locking described in the 'xarg'
manual page.

Assume that all interactive terminals are hyperlink capable but change default to off.
The implementation of OSC 8 hyperlinks [1] has come a long way. Many
programs enable hyperlinks for all terminals and use a blacklist for
terminals that are known not to support them.
GCC is reported to do that especially well. Lintian should ultimately
implement something similar. For the time being, we merely assume that
all interactive terminals are hyperlink capable, but no blacklist is
implemented at this time.
To avoid stray characters in terminals that not support the feature,
the display of hyperlinks was disabled by default. Users may wish to
add 'hyperlinks = on' to their Lintian configuration.

Do not pretend to show hashbang in hint context for unusual interpreters. (Closes: #982630)
For scripts using 'env', the hint context was confusing because it did
not match the actual hashbang. We now list only the offending
interpreter without a hashbang (or 'env', if it was used).
The bug report makes other important points. They are adressed below:
> Either way, the warning message shouldn't omit /usr/bin/env if it's
> present in the file in question, as the mismatch between the warning and
> the file is a distraction from the intent of the message.
This check traditionally disregarded the use of 'env' in scripts (but
not in maintainer scripts). It would be inappropriate to show the full
hashbang.The tag relates only to the interpreter portion.

I agree with your sentiment. Unfortunately, the interpreter tags are
already differentiated, i.e. in your case 'examples'. The wisdom of
the existing distinctions is not obvious and seems inferior to the
issue you raised, but implementing your suggestion would require many
new tags, which we are unlikely to embrace.
We would, however, entertain a request to simplify the existing
interpreter tags in order to flag the unversioned Python call in a
better way. Please file a bug if you believe that it is a worthwhile
trade-off for users.
> /usr/bin/python is supposed to be used for things that are both py3-

Based on the information we have, the unversioned /usr/bin/python is
going away in the upcoming 'bullseye' release. The corresponding
changes were made in response to this merge request
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/334
in this and surrounding commits:
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/69d52d7b4c9dbf391b23dced6e6de920905f54ac
Please file a bug for the unversioned Python interpreter to be
recognized as valid, if the information we have about the 'bullseye'
release is incorrect.
Thank you to dkg for bringing these matters to our attention!

Flag PyPI homepages in source control files. (Closes: #981932)
The condition here received its own tag. Eventually, it could be
desirable combine the tag with similar warnings for other languages or
packaging systems, but Lintian's rule of issuing each tag only in one
check would drop the logic from the Python language, where it arguably
belongs.
On the upside, the custom tag allows for a generous explanation with
PyPI-specific references. Users will find it easier to understand.

For details, including some of the relevant discussions in Debian,
please consult the references provided in the tag description.
The test packages provided here expect a Bourne-compatible shell to be
available at /usr/bin/sh. Many other tests still use the legacy
location.

Stop classifying test packages as empty.
Some helper routines that classify installation packages inadvertently
marked all test packages in the test suite as empty, because their
standard long description from t/defaults mentioned, as an apparent
precaution, that test packages may be empty.
After some consideration, the classification criteria were narrowed to
exclude the keyword "empty" while the standard description for test
packages was kept as it was.
Adds several tags for empty-package that appeared in general, non
check related tests as a result.

Tolerate manual pages for subcommands when main command is documented. (Closes: #947258)
Prevents the tag spare-manual-page from being isseud for subcommands

the main command has its own manual page.
The use of the underscore in libreswan's file names required special
casing because underscores are considered word characters.

Always print full path to patch files. (Closes: #980247)
Makes the context for tags related to patches more consistent. Patch
files are now always identified via their full path in the source
package.
As the filer noted, showing the full path may ease packaging for less
experienced maintainers. They are also more likely to rely on Lintian
for guidance.
More experienced users may prefer the short path. We are instead
making tag names shorter, and the context longer. For tags related to
patches, it means that paths are getting longer.
Working with tag names often, we believe that shorter tag names are
easier to remember. Accordingly, we try to be precise with tag names
only when needed, for instance when tags distinguish closely related
topics. Whenever possible, we provide any necessary precision in the
tag context. It makes tags more versatile.
This philosophy applies to many tags. For example, a relatively large
subgroup of names contains the word "debian". (Tags for changelogs or
watch files are good examples.) The word usually indicates that a
source file is located inside the ./debian directory. We perceive such
a tag naming scheme as cumbersome.
Many parts of our packaging infrastructure are named after Debian. The
moniker is generally overloaded, and often ambiguous. It is much
clearer to provide the full path of a file.
As a side note, we also no longer preface tag names with the name of
the check that issues them (although such a scheme still exists with
name-spaced tags; see continuous-integration.)
We sincerely hope that this solution is acceptable even though the
issue was resolved against the filer's stated preference.
Thank you to Alex Beckert for his keen eye, and also for remaining one
of our most active bug reporters!

Treat NMU edge cases for non-consecutive-debian-revision. (Closes: #942013)
The bug report was confirmed by several parties. It even offers some
history because it was once reopened. Unfortunately, none of the false
positives mentioned in it seemed to work anymore.
In theory, this commit should conclusively resolve the bug, yet right
now the only confirmation for that claim is the false positive fixed
in the test suite. Please reopen the bug and amend it, if needed.
This effort was prompted by Mattia Rizzolo on IRC, who appealed
repeatedly for attention to this bug over the course of several
months. Thank you for your patience, Mattia!

Anchor some negative regex assertions for architectures in the rear, and all in front. (See: !300)
Jiří Paleček made some good points about these regular expressions in
the MR noted above, but I do not agree with the suggested approach to
solving the problem.
I believe the regular expressions at issue here require anchors in the
rear so the negative (?!GNU) assertions hold for the full remainder of
each string, and not just for a part of them.
The anchors are added here.
I came up with what I think is a better solution when looking at the
example at https://regex101.com/r/14KozX/1 that Jiří so kindly
provided.
Jiří's wording also showed the way by stating that the expression
matches (his quotes) "a line which contains a word starting with
GNU/Linux, or any other word not starting with GNU". Matching words
is not enough. We wish to match the entire line, and anchoring does
exactly that.
Thanks to Jiří Paleček for the thoughtful suggestion, and for the
extraordinary patience before the merge request was resolved!

In harness test, continue to allow commas as field separators for profiles.
All profiles we ship were converted. There would be no occasion to
allow commas in our harness test except our test checks all profiles
that are present.
The test works fine on a development source tree but not when testing
an installed version, as autopkgtest does. Lintian depends on dpkg,
which installs its own profile. That profile was not yet converted.
A single tag name there is misparsed to include a comma at the end:
Failed test 'Tag package-uses-vendor-specific-patch-series, exists
in profile /usr/share/lintian/profiles/dpkg/main.profile'
The error showed up only in Salsa CI. This commit should fix it.
A better course of action might be to test only our profiles, if
possible, or perhaps to test none at all.

Prefer spaces over commas as field separators in profiles.
Commas are not needed, and spaces are more convenient. None of
Lintian's identifiers contain spaces. All other parts of Lintian like
tag and test specifications already use spaces.
Commas are still accepted but, from now on, they generate a warning.
Please also note that newlines are now trimmed transparently. That
allows a clear multi-line formatting style everywhere.
It is easy on the eyes and much better for diffs. In Git, it reduces
the complexity of merge conflicts. For example, the kali.main profile
now reads:
Disable-Tags:
bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure
no-nmu-in-changelog
source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number
Instead of previously:

For manual pages, extract section information correctly from .TH header. (Closes: #962601)
The value of the original filing of this bug is unclear. The use of a
comma-separated list with whitespaces that separate multiple names is
very rare.
The manual page mentioned in the bug report did not do so when this
message was written. It is unclear where the filer found it. At the
time of filing, the version then in unstable (2.6.9-1) shipped a
manual page that read:
.TH MOUNT.CIFS 8 "" "" ""
The version now in unstable (2.6.11-10 ships a header with whitespace
but no comma. That is likely an error:
.TH MOUNT.CIFS MOUNT.SMB3 8 "" "" ""
The only manual page that was remotely relevant that we were able to
find was gv2gml.1 from graphviz, which had a comma but no whitespace.
Thanks to DLange fo pointing it out! That header read:
.TH GML2GV,GV2GML 1 "24 June 2011"
Either way, we hope that this change will put the bug to rest. At a
minimum, it seems to silence the run time errors that have been

the bottom of some signal handling issues in TAP::Harness that are
probably caused by something else. For details, please see Bug#974575.

Ignore SIGWINCH in the test suite. (Closes: #974575)
The source of this odd behavior was not identified. It continued under
MCE::Loop when that was used experimentally instead of IO::Async.
Based on past experience, there was a concern about IO::Async and
SIGCHLD. Either module, however, helped only briefly to prepare
tests.
The problem occurred already in the test scripts before any custom
loops were started, so the loop modules are not at fault.
The bulk of the work in private/runtests took place under the aegis of
TAP::Harness->aggregate_tests. As noted in the bug, something in the
module initialization caused it, and probably not in Perl.
The upcoming merging of Check::Info into Profile and Group appeared to
cause a similar problem with SIGCHLD. That issue, and its mitigation,
are described here:

A proper identification and a solution remain outstanding.
