    Changes:
     lintian (2.5.62) unstable; urgency=medium
     .
       * Summary of tag changes:
         + Added:
           - invalid-potfiles-in
     .
       * checks/changelog-file.pm:
         + [CL] Correct operator precedence in "epoch-change-without-comment"
           to prevent a false positive when an epoch is present but is unchanged
           between versions.
         + [CL] Improve output of epoch-change-without-comment to include the
           actual version change.
       * checks/python.desc:
         + [CL] Also match, for example, "python2.7:any" when checking the
           "dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life" tag, not just
           "python2.7".  (Closes: #883053)
         + [CL] Detect an invalid debian/po/POTFILES.in instead of bailing out.
           (Closes: #883653)
       * checks/scripts.desc:
         + [AB] command-with-path-in-maintainer-script: Add more references,
           especially the reason why "if [ -x /usr/bin/<command> ]; …" is
           indeed bad (#769845 and the mail referred to in there). Rewrite
           recommendations, explain what conditions should be given if someone
           intents to override this tag. (Closes: #807695)
       * checks/source-copyright.pm:
         + [CL] Correct false positives in the
           "source-includes-file-in-files-excluded" tag where a Files-Excluded
           of "lib/*" would be triggered for "foolib/filename".
         + [CL] Correct another false positive in the
           "source-includes-file-in-files-excluded" tag where we would warn when
           the maintainer has removed upstream's debian/ directory and then we
           would trigger it on the maintainer's replacement files.
         + [CL] List all files violating source-includes-file-in-files-excluded,
           not just the first one we encounter per "Files-Excluded" entry.
         + [CL] Ignore .pc dirs for source-includes-file-in-files-excluded,
     .
       * data/spelling/corrections:
         + [AB] Remove "publically". It's a seldom, but valid English word
           (c.f. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/publically) and causes false
           positives in the OpenSSL license.
     .
       * t/scripts/spellintian.t:
         + [AB] Ensure that "publically" is not re-added as spelling correction
           in the future again to avoid hundreds of false positives in the
           OpenSSL license.

           - unnecessary-team-upload
     .
       * checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
         + [CL] Warn about packages that modify the epoch and there's no comment
           about the change. This was motivated by accidental bumping of the
           epoch in my python-django 2:2.0-1 upload.
       * checks/elpa.desc:
         + [CL] Correct reference to dh_elpa(1) manpage. Thanks to Paul Gevers

       * checks/fields.pm:

           repositories to the list of known insecure URIs.  (Closes: #883121)

         + [CL] Warn if a "Team upload" (ie. that string is present in the
           changelog) but the uploader is among the Maintainer/Uploaders.
           (Closes: #882954)
       * checks/python.desc:
         + [CL] Raise the severity of the
           "dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life" and
           "python-foo-but-no-python3-foo" Python 2.x deprecation tags to
           regular warnings.  (Closes: #883581)
       * checks/source-copyright.{desc,pm}:
         + [CL] Warn when files specified in Files-Excluded exist in the source
           tree.  (Closes: #871454)
     .
       * data/spelling/corrections:
         + [PW] Add a number of corrections.
         + [CL] Remove "german|German" and "russian|Russian" entries - they are
           covered by data/spelling/corrections-case.  (Closes: #883041)
     .
       * data/standards-version/release-dates:
         + [AB] Add 4.1.2 as known standards version.
         + [AB] Suggest "date +%s -s …" instead of libtimedate-perl.
     .
       * debian/control:
         + [AB] Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.2.
         + [AB] Mention Debian Policy 4.1.2 in long package description.
     .
       * t/runtests:
         + [AB] Use standards version 4.1.2 in tests.
       * t/scripts/spellintian.t:
         + [AB] Add two checks for common mistakes in d…/spelling/corrections:
           "iff" is a valid word (c.f. #865055) and case-only misspellings
           belong into data/spelling/corrections-case.

     .
       * checks/cruft.pm:
         + [CL] Rewrite file-contains-trailing-whitespace tag to be a hash from
           the filename to the regex we should match.
         + [CL] Allow trailing tabs in debian/rules files; they are a very
           common idiom in Makefiles.
       * checks/fields.desc:
         + [SL] Update of the documentation for the change introduced in 2.5.53:
           Transitional packages should now be "oldlibs/optional" rather
           than "oldlibs/extra".
       * checks/python.pm:
         + [CL] Don't count python-django and python3-django as Django modules.
           This avoids a warning where Django itsel triggers
           "django-package-does-not-depend-on-django".

       * data/spelling/corrections:

       * Summary of tag changes:
         + Added:
           - debian-rules-should-not-set-CFLAGS-from-noopt
     .
       * checks/control-file.pm:
         + [CL] Avoid false positives in debian-control-has-empty-field when the
           field is wrapped onto a new line. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
           report.  (Closes: #879977)
       * checks/cruft.desc:
         + [CL] Add example on how to remove trailing whitespace with sed.
         + [CL] Drop README.source from files to check against the
           file-contains-trailing-whitespace tag as it can include quotes
           from upstream that would be ideally left intact.
       * checks/debhelper.pm:
         + [NT] Remove code handling named compat levels.
       * checks/files.desc:
         + [CL] Ignore embedded jQuery libraries for Doxygen.  (Closes: #736360)

           contains noopt.  (Closes: #718640)
     .
       * commands/lintian.pm:
         + [NT] Have lintian resignal between various stages of the
           processing.  Previously, ill-timed signals would be caught and
           "semi-ignored" with lintian happily continuing to process the
           next package.  (Closes: #878575)
     .
       * data/debhelper/named-compat-levels:
         + [NT] Removed; no longer used.

         + [CL] Verify files triggering package-installs-java-bytecode files

           (Closes: #878457)
     .
       * debian/control:
         + [NT] Set R³ to "no".  Lintian builds fine without root and

         + [CL] Split out checks for debconf-config-not-executable into a
           separate test protected by a Test-Requires now that dpkg >= 1.19.0
           will bail out on that condition.

           prone and time-consuming to maintain given the severity of the issues
           it can find.  (Closes: #877766)
       * checks/cruft.pm:
         + [CL] Exempt debian/copyright from license-problem-non-free-RFC tag
           to avoid false-positives on meta-references.  (Closes: #877999)
       * checks/debhelper.pm:
         + [AB] Also recognize dh-exec's "=>" arrow if surrounded by tabs.
           (Closes: #877905)
       * checks/fields.{desc,pm}:
         + [NT] Add an info tag for packages that use "Priority: extra".  Thanks
           to Mattia Rizzolo for the suggestion.  (Closes: #870898)
       * checks/files.pm:
         + [CL] Ignore privacy breach violations in comments.  (Closes: #877421)
         + [CL] Check for Python modules with overly generic names such as
           "tests" or "test".  (Closes: #875964)
       * checks/{files,manpages,menu-format}.{desc,pm}:
         + [NT] Stop considering usr/man, usr/X11R6/bin and usr/X11R6/man as
           manpage directories / PATH directories to simplify some code paths.
           Nothing ships manpages in these directories and lintian emits tags
           to strongly discourage people from doing so.
       * checks/init.d.pm:
         + [CL] Avoid warning for init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile when
           the init.d script does not exist; we will already be alerted via
           the init.d-script-not-included-in-package error.
       * checks/python.pm:
         + [CL] Move to "Type: source, binary" check type.
         + [CL] Also match packages named "python2-*" as relating to Python 2.x.
         + [CL] Warn about Django libraries that do not depend on Django itself.
           (Closes: #877292)
         + [CL] Do not emit python-foo-but-no-python3-foo for -common packages.
       * checks/scripts.desc:
         + [CL] Add missing example-script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location tag.
           (Closes: #877142)
         + [NT] Apply patch from Mattia Rizzolo to improve the tag description
           for script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location.
         + [CL] Actually check for a dependency on sensible-utils before
           emitting script-needs-depends-on-sensible-utils.  Thanks to Daniel
           Reichelt for the detailed bug report.  (Closes: #877439)
       * checks/standards-version.desc:
         + [CL] Correct invalid link to upgrading-checklist. Thanks to Dann
           Frazier for the report.  (Closes: #878184)

         + [CL] Warn if native systemd service files only wrap existing SysV/LSB
           init scripts.  (Closes: #870704)
       * checks/watch-file.{pm,desc}:

         + [NT] Rename file.

       * doc/lintian.xml:

           a while but the documentation incorrectly listed "$HOME/.lintian"
           instead (which in fact did not work for this purpose).
           (Closes: #701477)
     .
       * frontend/dplint:
         + [NT] Restore "$HOME/.lintian" as a directory that is used for
           user profiles and data files.  It was advertised as such in the

           path.  Thanks to Daniel Kauffman for the report.  (Closes: #875636)
         + [NT] Correct the order of restricted search paths (user directories
           and /etc/lintian).  It incorrectly used /etc/lintian before the
           user directory.
     .
       * lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
         + [NT] Rename the "fail" subroutine to "internal_error" to better
           reflect its purpose.
     .
       * t/tests/binaries-from-other-arch:
         + [NT] Make test architecture specific as it fails on certain
           architectures.  (Closes: #877147)

         + [CL] Add test for ignoring python-foo-doc packages.

           abbreviated object name,  However, as this can be user-dependent,
           pass --abbrev=0 to ensure it does not vary between systems.  This
           also means we do not need to strip it ourselves.
       * private/refresh-*:
         + [CL] Use deb.debian.org as the default mirror.
         + [CL] Update locations of Contents-<arch> files; they are now

         + [NT] Re-encode checksums into base64 encoded strings (from hex).

           which fixes mojibake in the Debian Policy Manual links.  Thanks to
           Paul Hardy for finding a solution to the problem.
           (Closes: #802721)
         + [NT] Override dh_autoreconf tools as they are not used (but need to

           dpkg-buildpackage refuses to build packages that trigger this tag.
           Also, the tag implies two other "W" tags so contributors are still

           code duplication.
       * commands/reporting-*:
         + [NT] Rewrite the config file handling.  The reporting framework now
           uses a YAML configuration file instead of a perl script.
         + [NT] Support processing packages from multiple archives and different
           suites in these archives.  This enables lintian.d.o to also process
           dbgsym packages.  (Closes: #856312)

           for the suggestion.  (Closes: #858326)

         + [NT] Remove check for suidregister, dpkg --assert-working-epoch, and
           dpkg --assert-multi-conrep.  None of these trigger any tags in the
           archive any longer and the (new) features have been available for

         + [NT] Add 4.0.0 as a known standards version along with its release
           date.
     .
       * debian/control:
         + [NT] Add explicit (Build-)Depends on dpkg (>= 1.17.14) to make it

         + [NT] Drop versioned dependencies that are there to assist to
           Wheezy.

           on errors.
     .
       * lib/Lintian/CheckScript.pm:
         + [NT] Remove fallback code for "old" style "pm"-less checks.
       * lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
         + [NT] Drop dpkg_deb_has_ctrl_tarfile.  Lintian now assumes that
           dpkg 1.17.14 is available (provided by Debian jessie or later).
     .
       * reporting/{config => config.yaml}:
         + [NT] Rewrite the reporting config template into the new YAML format.
       * reporting/graphs/tags.gpi:
         + [NT] Tweak tags.gpi so it works with gnuplot 5.

           debian/files by default.  (Closes: #863020)
       * t/runtests:
         + [NT] Re-sort test output after running the "post_test" sed script
           on the output.  This prevent test failures caused by the order
           changing on different architectures prior to the sed script is run
           (assuming the sed script otherwise normalises the differences
           correctly).
       * t/tests/cruft-general-upstream/pre_upstream:
         + [EB] Fix failing tests by making the fake flash object more
           convincing.  The most recent version of libmagic uses a more precise
           definition of the data within a flash file.  (Closes: #852891)
       * t/tests/java-jars:
         + [NT] Provide a more convincing corrupt .zip file that also fools
           file 5.30.

       * frontend/dplint:
         + [NT] Work around a "Bizarre Copy" bug in perl that could trigger
           on errors.  Notably, this bug causes the reporting framework in
           lintian to break with a very non-informative error when the
           "state-cache" is not present.
     .
       * reporting/graphs/tags.gpi:
         + [NT] Tweak tags.gpi so it works with gnuplot 5.
