* General:
+ [CL] Apply a patch series from Ben Finney to correct inconsistent use
of "header" terminology (versus "field", etc.) in descriptions and
tag names. Thanks! (Closes: #890959)
.
* checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Warn about changelog files that are too short. Thanks to Adrian
Bunk for the suggestion. (Closes: #890920)
* checks/cruft.pm:
+ [CL] Avoid false-positives in Jush's syntax highlighting definition
files.
+ [CL] Avoid a false-positive when matching the fake Lena Söderberg
image in libplacebo. Thanks to Thorsten Alteholz for the report.
(Closes: #890943)
* checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Warn if packages define multiple compatibility levels in the
"compat" file, typically via "echo 11 >> debian/compat" (instead of
">").
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [CL] Correct a grammatical error and tighten up the language of the
"binary-package-depends-on-toolchain-package" tag's description.
Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the report. (Closes: #890530)
* checks/init.d.pm:
+ [CL] Also check for "RUN=" and "DAEMONRUN=" when evalating lines in
/etc/default for "init.d-script-should-always-start-service"
violations. Thanks to Laurent Bigonville. (Closes: #890916)
* checks/rules.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Update override_dh_auto_test-does-not-check-DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
to fix a number of false positives. Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for
the report. (Closes: #890537)
+ [CL] Also check, for example, "override_dh_fixperms-indep" and
"override_dh_fixperms-arch" targets for
"override_dh_fixperms-does-not-call-dh_fixperms", etc.
+ [CL] Prevent a large number of false-positives when checking the
debian-rules-is-dh_make-template tag. Thanks to Evgeni Golov for
the report. (Closes: #890660)
+ [CL] Check for unnecessary SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH assignments; it is
either exported by dpkg >= 1.18.8 or one can include pkg-info.pk,
etc. (Closes: #832099)
* checks/scripts.pm:
+ [CL] Prevent some false-positives in udevadm-called-without-guard.
* checks/upstream-metadata.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to suggest maintainers add a
debian/upstream/metadata file, although downgrade the check to
"experimental" level for the time being. (Closes: #833007)
* checks/watch-file.pm:
+ [CL] Use our new $PKGREPACK_REGEX to match and capture the suffix
when looking at potential debian/watch mangling issues.
.
* commands/reporting-html-reports.pm:
+ [NT] Stop including the uncompressed lintian log in the website
as it consumes considerable space for no reason. Consumers
should migrate to the compressed variant, which has been around
for years and only consumes ~1/20th of the space.
.
* data/files/python-generic-modules:
+ [CL] Detect "core" as an overly-generic module name. Thanks to
Andreas Beckmann for the report. (Closes: #891027)
* data/scripts/interpreters:
+ [CL] Add cwl-runner (to cwltool) as an interpreter for CWL scripts.
Thanks to Michael Crusoe for the report. (Closes: #890667)
* data/spelling/corrections:
+ [PW] Add a number of corrections.
.
* debian/source/lintian-overrides:
+ [CL] Drop all the overrides for Lintian itself now that we use the
<!nocheck> build profile for the previously-spurious warnings.
.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [CL] Factor out the regex that matches "repacked" tarballs based on
their filename.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/{Changes,Sources}.pm:
+ [CL] Add repacked subroutines to check whether a package has been
repacked or not.
.
* reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
+ [CL] Link package entries directly to sources.debian.org.
.
* t/scripts/changelog-format.t:
+ [CL] Provide some possibly-helpful advice when violating the "entry
header" changelog test.
* t/tests/cruft-upstream-binaries:
+ [CL] Add a testcase to check that symlinked missing-sources do the
right thing (re. #890468).
