   * checks/binaries{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add a new check for OCaml bytecode executables.  Patch from
       Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #498138)
     + [RA] Allow ldconfig to be statically linked.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file if the version
       contains ubuntu.  Thanks, Benjamin Drung.  (Closes: #536434)
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [RA] Moved the essential package list to data/fields.
   * checks/copyright-file:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Data to read the essential package list.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Ignore whitespace when checking debian/compat, since Perl will
       when converting it to a number.  Thanks, Niels Thykier.
       (Closes: #545430)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Exclude base-files from the needlesly-depends-on-awk tag
       and from the warning about depending on a virtual package without
       a real package for the awk virtual package.
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Data to read the essential package list.
     + [RA] Stop allowing unversioned build dependencies on coreutils.  The
       migration from fileutils is long since finished.
     + [RA] Check for build dependencies on packages that should not be
       used for builds.  (Closes: #540594)
     + [RA] Allow architecture-dependent metapackages, since it can be
       useful for metapackages to change dependencies based on the
       architecture.  Thanks, Vagrant Cascadian.  (Closes: #544004)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Suppress non-standard-dir-perm for /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/local,
       /var/lock, and /usr/src if they have their normal owner and
       permissions.  This suppresses some Lintian tags for base-files.
     + [RA] Allow base-files to ship /var/backups and /var/local.
     + [RA] Remove swfobject.js from the known packaged Javascript
       libraries.  The version in libjs-yui is old and the new version is
       not packaged.  Thanks, Giuseppe Iuculano.  (Closes: #542046)
     + [RA] Allow t1- and xfonts- as prefixes for font packages since the
       font regex is also looking for Type 1 fonts.  Thanks, Rogério
       Brito.  (Closes: #542389)
     + [RA] Stop looking for *.pcf files outside font packages.  The check
       wasn't triggering since PCF files are always compressed, and the
       situation for PCF font packages is more complex and not suitable for
       the same check.
     + [RA] Add mootools.js to embedded-javascript-library.  Patch from
       Marcelo Jorge Vieira (metal).  (Closes: #545716)
     + [RA] Check for putting data that should be in /usr/share under
       /usr/share/games.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #534486)
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add new checks for starting in runlevels 0 and 6, providing a
       virtual facility, not providing a facility matching the script, not
       depending on a virtual facility, and inconsistent stop runlevels.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #544221)
   * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
     + [ADB] Add HTTPS to the list of recognised protocols for URLs in manpages
       which should not cause manpage-has-errors-from-man to be emitted.
       (Closes: #543641)
     + [RA] Document the MANWIDTH variable when running man by hand to
       check for man page errors.  (Closes: #542584)
     + [RA] Adjust the exclusion of pod2man's .IX macro for the new
       output format from groff.
   * checks/menu-format{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add a pointer to desktop-file-validate in many of the tag
       descriptions for desktop tags.  (Closes: #539403)
     + [RA] Mention in the description of desktop-entry-invalid-category
       that whitespace isn't allowed and categories are case-sensitive.
     + [RA] Add a new check for desktop entries that are limited to
       multiple environments.  NotShowIn was probably intended instead.
       Thanks, Andrew Lee.  (Closes: #537737)
   * checks/rules:
     + [RA] Anchor the dh_quilt regex to not trigger on commented-out
       calls.  Patch from Cesare Tirabassi.  (Closes: #543259)
     + [RA] When checking for out-of-order debhelper calls, take into
       account the -p flag and only check within each package.  Thanks,
       Michael Koch.  (Closes: #545219)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Don't warn about missing dependencies on programs if the
       program invocation is followed by || true.  Thanks, Aurelien Jarno.
       (Closes: #541372)
     + [RA] Permit diversion of a man page as long as the package is
       installing a man page by the same name in the same numeric section,
       even if the specific section is different.  Thanks, Niko Tyni.
       (Closes: #543781)
     + [RA] Check example scripts for most of the same issues as scripts
       elsewhere in the package, but report problems with a different set
       of tags with info or pedantic severity.  Patch from Damyan Ivanov.
       (Closes: #543873)
     + [RA] Add seed.  Thanks, Josselin Mouette.  (Closes: #543779)
     + [RA] Add pike 7.8.  Thanks, Magnus Holmgren.  (Closes: #543262)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [RA] Allow ld.so to be executable.  (Closes: #538716)
 .
   * data/fields/essential:
     + [RA] New list of essential packages.
     + [RA] Add dash.  (Closes: #541744)
     + [RA] Add diffutils and remove diff.  (Closes: #544277)
   * data/fields/no-build-depends:
     + [RA] New list of packages that should not be used as build
       dependencies, currently containing only java-propose-classpath.
       Thanks, Josh Triplett.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [RA] Refresh and include Type 1 fonts and packages as well.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RA] Stop looking for the special OCaml symbol.  OCaml custom
       binaries are now detected another way.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [RA] If declining to add a duplicate file to the Lintian check
       schedule, return success to avoid a spurious error message.  Patch
       from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #542072)
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Add spelling correction for "aplication."  (Closes: #546404)
 .
   * private/refresh-fonts-data:
     + [RA] To match what checks/files looks for, also look for *.pfb files
       and packages starting with t1-.
 .
   * reporting/{html_reports,templates/clean.tmpl}:
     + [JP] Don't link to full report if the maintainer only has clean
       packages. (Closes: #545781)

       - depends-on-x-metapackage => depends-on-metapackage
 .
   * checks/changelog-file.desc:
     + [RA] Document the "Old Changelog" way of marking historic changelog
       entries that shouldn't be syntax-checked in the long description for
       syntax-error-in-debian-changelog.  (Closes: #541119)
   * checks/debconf:
     + [CW] Permit Help: in .templates files, which is supported as of
       cdebconf 0.143 and used in the installer.
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [CW] Check for the use of debhelper override targets, which require
       debhelper 7.0.50.

       possibly optional portions of debian/rules.  (Closes: #537607)
     + [RA] Don't warn about missing build dependencies for commands in
       possibly optional portions of debian/rules.  (Closes: #537608)

       Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #537207)

     + [RA] Lower wrong-section-according-to-package-name to possible.
     + [RA] Recognize packages as metapackages even if they contain Lintian
       overrides, thus fixing two packages that added a Lintian override
       for having dependencies only permitted for metapackages, which in
       turn ensures that they keep getting that tag.
     + [RA] Recognize packages as metapackages even if they contain files
       in /usr/share/cdd.
     + [RA] Renamed the tags for depending or build-depending on X
       metapackages to make them generic and load the list of metapackages
       from data/fields/metapackages.  Always consider known metapackages
       to be metapackages for the dependency check.

       don't emit errors about their use in udebs.
     + [RA] Warn about packages containing files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d that
       don't appear to be part of libc.  Policy 3.8.3 no longer permits
       modification of ld.so.conf.
     + [RA] Remove the check for x11-common pre-depends before installing
       files in /usr/{include,lib}/X11.  Policy 3.8.3 removes this
       requirement.
   * checks/infofiles{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add missing leading * to example info directory entry.
     + [RA] Check that packages with info files depend on dpkg or
       install-info as recommended by Policy 5.8.3.
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [RA] Expand multiple-distributions-in-changes-file description and
       add a reference to the Policy section.  Change certainty to
       possible, since this may be fine for non-Debian uploads.

     + [RA] Add info-level tag for packages with apparent HTML or PDF
       documentation in /usr/share/doc but no doc-base registration.  Based

   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [CW] Don't emit not-using-po-debconf if all templates are marked "for
       internal use".  (Closes: #492626)
   * checks/rules{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Moved checking of build dependencies based on programs invoked
       in debian/rules from checks/fields to here.
     + [RA] Expand Lintian's understanding of which targets are run for the
       clean target to include targets invoked via pattern variable
       expansion.  (Closes: #536405)
     + [RA] Make the handling of make variables as rule names more robust
       and avoid generating invalid regexes.
     + [RA] Packages including /usr/share/mozilla-devscripts makefile
       fragments in debian/rules must Build-Depend on mozilla-devscripts.
       Thanks, Benjamin Drung.  (Closes: #541144)
   * checks/scripts:

       a number, followed by a redirection.  Thanks, Andreas Beckmann.
       (Closes: #534942)
     + [RA] Warn about maintainter scripts that modify /etc/ld.so.conf.
       Policy 3.8.3 no longer permits this.
     + [RA] Avoid command-with-path-in-maintainer-script false positives
       with backtick expressions as arguments to commands.  Thanks, Stefan
       Fritsch.  (Closes: #536397)
   * checks/watch-file:
     + [RA] Fix false positives in debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version
       when an upstream version is specified in the watch file and give the
       line number of mangling issues.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
       (Closes: #536404)
 .
   * data/debhelper/*:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/architectures:
     + [RA] Refresh architecture list against dpkg 1.15.3.1, adding avr32
       and kopensolaris.  (Closes: #538055)
   * data/fields/metapackages:
     + [RA] New file listing known metapackages that should not be used in
       Depends or Build-Depends.
     + [RA] Add mono-complete.  (Closes: #538929)
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:

     + [RA] Enable multiple-distributions-in-changes-file now that Policy
       documents that this does not work with the Debian archive.
   * frontend/lintian-info:
     + [ADB] Correctly parse Lintian output for pedantic tags.  Thanks, James
       Vega.
 .
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Add spelling correction for precedence.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [JP] Accumulate tag-specific statistics in a new variable, and pass it
       to the appropriate templates.
   * reporting/templates/tags{,-severity}.tmpl:
     + [JP] Remove duplicate code to calculate tag statistics.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Update standards version to 3.8.3.

       dh_quilt_* programs are called in the clean target.  Thanks, Daniel
       Moerner.  (Closes: #528003)

       checking first whether they're present.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #533571)

       from Raphael Geissert.

     + [RA] Read menu-methods files from the collected location instead of
       the unpacked binary package and change the unpack level of menus to
       1.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.

       severity.
     + [RA] Catch obsolete dpkg checks in more contexts.

       Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * collection/menu-files{,.desc}:

     + [RA] Downgrade certainty of tags for which we recommend overrides.

     + [ADB] Don't consider an 64-bit kernel module shipped in a binary
       package for the corresponding 32-bit architecture to be "from other
       architecture".  (Closes: #532013)
     + [ADB] When checking for binaries which define rpaths, don't exclude
       rpaths of /lib and /usr/lib, even if the directory is shipped by the
       package.  (Closes: #532508)
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:

       than categories.
     + [ADB] Rename section-category-mismatch to section-area-mismatch.

       that source packages in main may build binary packages in contrib.

   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Allow python << dependencies without Python-Version if the
       package depends on python-support, which doesn't use the
       Python-Version field.  Adjust the long description of

       to python-central.  Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz.  (Closes: #525997)

       alternative.  Thanks, Guillaume Delacour.  (Closes: #529457)

       success value.
     + [ADB] Remove "\\" from the list of unsafe backslash escapes in the
       shell script checks.  POSIX does not prohibit its use and it works in
       all shells in Debian.
     + [RA] Add escript to the list of known interpreters.  Thanks, Nicholas
       Jefferson.  (Closes: #532158)

     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.

   * debian/control:
     + [ADB] Depend on libapt-pkg-perl.
   * debian/rules:
     + [ADB] Re-order the commands in the runtests target so that the
       "new style" testset is run first, as it now also tests the harness.
       Thanks, Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [ADB] Rename the --section command line option to --area in line
       with Policy's use of the term "archive area" to describe main, etc.
       Also rename the corresponding environment and configuration file
       variables.  In each case, the original name is permitted as a
       synonym.
     + [ADB] Reset the timezone in the environment before running any
       tests so that tar's "implausibly old timestamp" errors use a
       consistent epoch.  Thanks, Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/*.pm:
     + [ADB] Fix a few errors and add missing example variable declarations
       in POD synopsis example sections.  Patch by Raphael Geissert.
   * lib/Lintian/Relation/Version.pm:
     + [ADB] Rework to use libapt-pkg-perl rather than calling "dpkg
       --compare-versions" repeatedly and keeping a potentially large
       cache of previous results.
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [ADB] Correctly display package versions of 0 in status messages.
       (Closes: #532550)
   * lib/scan_script.pl:

        - perl-package-should-be-section-perl
        - python-package-should-be-section-python
 .
   * checks/deb-format.desc:
     + [RA] In the tag description, the first required element should be
       debian-binary, not debian-control.  Thanks, Judit Foglszinger.
       (Closes: #521012)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [FL] Update list of valid sections.  (Closes: #521782)
     + [RA] Fix dbg-package-missing-depends check when the dependency is
       followed by a comma.  (Closes: #520640)
     + [FL] Add package name checks for the new sections.  Move all package
       section checks to one tag "wrong-section-according-to-package-name"
       instead of one tag per section.

       diversions.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #519268)

 .
   * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1:
     + [RA] Better anchor the regexes that parse the file list in a source
       package.

 .
   The "Policy 3.8.1" release.
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added
       - dir-or-file-in-var-lock
       - dir-or-file-in-var-run
 .
   * checks/changelog-file.desc:
     + [RA] Using UTF-8 is now a Policy must and hence serious.
   * checks/control-file.desc:
     + [RA] Using UTF-8 is now a Policy must and hence serious.
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [CW] Emit dir-or-file-in-var-lock or dir-or-file-in-var-run, as
       appropriate, for packages shipping directories or files in /var/lock
       or /var/run. See policy bug #514326.
   * checks/menus{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Revert the change to not require update-menus in postinst.
       This is still needed due to #518919.  Don't require update-menus in
       postrm for regular menu files, only for menu-methods, but also don't
       warn if it's present.  (Closes: #519300)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Policy allows scripts to assume that /bin/sh supports local
       with simple variable assignments.
     + [ADB] Check all added and removed diversions at once rather than
       as each maintainer script is processed.  This avoids differing
       results and false positives if the postrm is processed before other
       maintainer scripts.  (Closes: #518966)
 .
   * data/debhelper/*:
     + [RA] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:

       and developers-reference 3.4.1.
   * data/standards-version/release-dates:
     + [RA] Add release date for 3.8.1.
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [RA] Update to standards version 3.8.1.
 .
   * lib/Dep.pm:
     + [RA] Remove, replaced with Lintian::Relation.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RA] Fix POD errors.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [RA] Fix POD errors.
   * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
     + [RA] Fix POD errors.
 .
   * private/refresh-debhelper-data:
     + [RA] Remove symlinks as a (possibly temporary) workaround to
       packages that contain broken links to dh_* commands.
     + [RA] Exclude dh_gencontrol from debhelper commands that set
       ${misc:Depends} since it only sets it to empty when not already
       set.
   * private/refresh-fonts-data:
     + [RA] Correctly handle not specifying a Contents file on the command
       line.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add support for running test scripts under t/scripts via prove
       (the standard Perl test harness).

       performance penalty.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.

       performance penalty.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [RA] Avoid false positive for versionless license files when the
       file is referred to without a hyphen; instead, issue a separate tag
       that explains the problem.  Based on a patch from Raphael Geissert.

     + [ADB] When parsing symbols files, correctly ensure that meta-information
       occurs between the end of the dependency template(s) and the start of
       the symbol list.  The code that was intended to check this resulted
       in a false positive syntax error being generated if a file with
       alternative dependency templates used meta-information.
     + [ADB] Extend the parsing of dependency templates in symbols files to
       handle ORed dependencies.
     + [ADB] Use Lintian::Relation rather than Dep.
     + [ADB] Avoid capturing parentheses in regexes due to their minor
       performance penalty.
     + [RA] Check the libdir path in libtool *.la files and ensure that it
       matches the installed location of the *.la file.  Based on a patch
       by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #302196)
   * checks/version-substvars:
     + [RA] Be robust against whitespace in the Architecture field.
       Thanks, Gonéri Le Bouder.  (Closes: #517555)
 .
   * collection/*.desc:
     + [RA] Remove the output key and instead add a version key.  Patch
       from Raphael Geissert.
   * collection/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Remove the remains of a previous run before starting.
   * collection/diffstat:
     + [RA] Remove the remains of a previous run before starting.
   * collection/objdump-info:
     + [RA] Recognize truncated binaries.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * collection/source-control-file:
     + [RA] Remove the remains of a previous run before starting.
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [CW] Depend on man-db (>= 2.4.0) for '-E UTF-8'.
 .
   * data/fields/architectures:
     + [RA] Replace the runtime-generated list of known architectures with
       this data file, built from the current dpkg files.  Patch from
       Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * doc/desc-files:
     + [RA] Document new Version field for collect scripts and remove
       Output field.  Document pedantic severity for tags.  Document
       Sequence, Options, and Skeleton for test suite descriptions.
       Thanks, Raphael Geissert.
   * doc/lintian.sgml:
     + [RA] Document pendantic tags.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Stop loading FileHandle.  We no longer use it.
     + [RA] Run all the collect scripts within a given order in parallel.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [RA] Create marker files in the laboratory for each collect script
       that has successfully including its current version number.  Use
       these marker files rather than the existence of output files to
       determine when to run collect scripts.  Re-run collect scripts if
       the current version doesn't match what's in the lab.  Patch from
       Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #517650)
     + [RA] Add oldstable to the known distributions for *.changes files.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RA] Recognize truncated binaries.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
     + [RA] Add support for running commands in the background using a
       final argument of '&'.  Allow reap() to take multiple opt hashes and
       reap all of them in a loop.  Add a kill() function to kill
       outstanding jobs.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.

   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [RA] Fully comply with Policy in whitespace handling when parsing
       Debian control files.  Multiline fields will now have the leading
       whitespace of subsequent lines left in, and leading tabs are no
       longer handled specially.  Trailing whitespace is now uniformly
       stripped, as is leading whitespace on the first field line.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Document strings collect script.
 .
   * private/refresh-archs:
     + [RA] Script from Raphael Geissert to refresh known architectures.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1:
     + [RA] Run the separate commands involved in unpacking a binary
       package in parallel where possible.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1:
     + [RA] When processing tar output, we may not get complete lines at a
       time.  Save partial lines and glue them back together again when we
       get the next burst of data.  (Closes: #517899)
     + [RA] Do a little bit of parallelization when writing out the sorted
       index of the source package.
     + [RA] Ignore leading whitespace in the Files section.

Changes:
 lintian (2.2.6) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added
       - binary-from-other-architecture
       - icon-size-and-directory-name-mismatch
       - lzma-deb-archive
       - multiple-distributions-in-changes-file (disabled)
       - spelling-error-in-binary (experimental)
       - unsupported-source-format
 .
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RA] When checking for dependencies on libc, don't use /o on the
       regex.  Otherwise, lintian produces false positives when run on
       multiple packages with different architectures, since the libc
       package name is not the same on all architectures.  Thanks to
       Raphael Geissert for the report.  (Closes: #516067)
     + [RA] Check for binaries from other architectures than the declared
       architecture of the package outside of known multiarch directories.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #513996)
     + [RA] Check the data section of ELF binaries for spelling errors.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [RA] Virtual packages now come from data.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Don't warn about uncompressed ChangeLog files in doc.  They may
       be small files and the maintainer may be installing some other
       upstream file as the upstrema changelog.  (Closes: #515601)
     + [RA] Fix improbable-bug-number-in-closes so that it works.
   * checks/control-file:
     + [ADB] Properly exclude packages built from the glibc source package
       from the "hardcoded depends on libc" test.  (Closes: #515831)
   * checks/cruft:
     + [RA] For Format: 2.0 and Format: 3.0 (quilt) packages, check
       the *.debian.tar.(gz|bz2|lzma) contents instead of expecting
       diffstat output.  (Closes: #515069)
     + [RA] Ignore cruft in the upstream source in directories that look
       like part of a test suite.  The files may be part of the test
       cases.  (Closes: #515137)
   * checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Recognize data.tar.lzma binary package components and use a
       different tag than malformed-deb-archive.
   * checks/description:
     + [ADB] Warn of homepages embedded in the description which use the
       syntax "Homepage: <http://example.com>" using the warning level
       tag description-contains-homepage rather than the info level tag
       description-possibly-contains-homepage.  (Closes: #515998)
     + [RA] Don't warn about too-short long descriptions for transitional
       or dummy packages.  Thanks, Andreas Beckmann.  (Closes: #515538)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Load virtual packages from data/fields/virtual-packages.
     + [RA] Warn of unsupported source package versions.
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Warn of PNG icons whose size doesn't match the size indicated
       by the directory in which they're installed.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #509624)
     + [RA] Make static regexes global to avoid recreating them for each
       file we scan.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [ADB] Modify the check for embedded Javascript libraries to ignore
       yahoo.js as there are similarly named, but unrelated, scripts in
       the archive.
     + [ADB] Lower the certainty of the embedded-{javascript,php}-library
       tags to "possible" as they trigger purely on filenames and not
       content.  (Closes: #515690)
     + [RA] Offer advice for duplicate-font-file for when the font package
       is huge.  Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst and Paul Wise.  (Closes: #515689)
   * checks/patch-systems.desc:
     + [RA] Improve the suggestions in the long description of
       quilt-patch-missing-description and dpatch-missing-description based
       on suggestions from Paul Wise.  (Closes: #516534)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Make static regexes global to avoid recreating them for each
       file we scan.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [RA] Save a local reference to objdump information to reduce the
       number of method calls.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [ADB] Correctly handle alternative dependency lines in symbols files
       which contain multiple entries.  (Closes: #516427)
 .
   * collection/strings{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Collect a list of ELF binaries in the package and the output of
       strings on each binary except for those in /usr/lib/debug.  Based on
       a patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #514951)
 .
   * data/fields/obsolete-packages:
     + [RA] Add foomatic-data, lambdamoo-{core,server}, and old kernel
       packages.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:
     + [RA] New file listing known virtual packages.  Based on a patch by
       Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #514497)
 .
   * debian/postrm:
     + [RA] Use set -e, not #!/bin/sh -e.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [ADB] Split the Distribution field of a .changes file into individual
       distributions and then check each of them against the list of known
       distributions.  (Closes: #514853)
     + [ADB] Anchor the regular expressions for the backports, security and
       proposed-updates distribution checks, so that etch-backports is
       accepted as a valid distribution but etch-backportss is not.
     + [ADB] Add a new check for .changes files which contain multiple
       entries in their Distribution: field.  The check is currently
       disabled as the syntax is currently accepted by dak although it is
       likely to stop being so in the near future.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [RA] Recognize Format: 2.0 packages as non-native.
   * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
     + [RA] Disable IPC::Run debugging.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [RA] Don't load Data::Dumper.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Add spelling correction for "mroe".
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [RA] Minor optimizations to {read,parse}_dpkg_control.  Patch from
       Raphael Geissert.
     + [RA] Only take the first space after a field name as the separator
       and treat the rest as part of the field value so that other parts of
       Lintian can see the leading spaces.
 .
   * private/refresh-virtual-packages-data:
     + [RA] New script to generate the list of virtual packages.  Based on
       a patch by Raphael Geissert.
   * private/update-coverage:
     + [RA] Add support for source package tests.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add support for raw source package checks in the source
       subdirectory.  See t/source/README for more details.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1:
     + [ADB] Handle a number of different ways in which upstream directory
       trees may be represented in tarballs.  (Closes: #515795)
     + [RA] Support LZMA-compressed upstream source.  (Closes: #515068)
     + [RA] Analyze the upstream source tarball to extract its prefix and
       save it in the laboratory.  Also fixes unpacking of source tarballs
       that have no common subdirectory.

   * Summary of tag changes:

     + Removed
       - non-us-spelling
 .
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add pedantic check for a distribution of unstable when the last
       version had a distribution of experimental and there's no comment
       about the change.  (Closes: #483845)
   * checks/common-data.pm:
     + [ADB] Remove the obsolete non-US from the list of recognised archive
       sections.
   * checks/copyright-file:
     + [RA] Treat License: GPL-2+ as "GPL version 2 or later" for the
       purposes of the check for a correctly versioned license reference.
       Patch from Evgeni Golov.  (Closes: #513946)
   * checks/cruft{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Downgrade all source-contains-* tags to pedantic.  These are
       upstream problems the packager can't do much about and they have
       no practical effect on the Debian package.  Wishlist implies that
       a wishlist bug against the package would be appropriate, which
       seems too strong.
     + [RA] Add pedantic check for binaries in the upstream source.  Patch
       from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #127494)
   * checks/description{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Check for using first person in package descriptions, similar
       to the existing check for debconf questions.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #514491)
     + [RA] Add check (wishlist/wild-guess) for apparent home page URLs in
       the long description with no Homepage field.  Based on a patch by
       Paul Wise.  (Closes: #339829)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [ADB] Remove checks for the capitalisation of the obsolete non-US
       archive section.
     + [RA] Warn about Homepage fields pointing to search.cpan.org pages
       containing a version number.  Based on a patch by Paul Wise.
     + [RA] Warn of dfsg versions in native packages.
     + [RA] Warn of ".dfsg" versions and recommend "+dfsg" for version
       sorting reasons.  Thanks, Paul Wise.  (Closes: #514203)
     + [RA] Warn of the "dsfg" typo in versions.  Thanks, Paul Wise.
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Relation and the new Lintian::Collect support for
       retrieving parsed relationship fields.
   * checks/files:
     + [ADB] Don't report duplicate-font-file for udebs.  Patch by Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #514095)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add pedantic check for maintainer scripts using #!/bin/sh -e
       instead of set -e in the script body.  (Closes: #119045)
 .
   * collection/file-info{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Also run file-info for source packages.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect.pm:
     + [RA] Defer loading of the subclasses until the constructor to avoid
       circular dependencies at compilation time.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RA] New method relation() to return a Lintian::Relation object for
       a given relationship field or set of relationship fields.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [RA] New methods relation() and relation_noarch() to return
       Lintian::Relation objects for a given build relationship field or
       set of fields.  New method binary_relation() to return a
       Lintian::Relation object for a given relationship field in a binary
       package built from this source package.
     + [RA] Add file_info() method to return file information for source
       packages.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
     + [RA] New class based on the existing Dep module that handles package
       relationship analysis.  Now includes documentation, uses a more
       object-oriented structure, and removes a special case handling of
       Perl alternatives.  This module will eventually replace Dep.
   * lib/Lintian/Relation/Version.pm:
     + [RA] New module containing the version comparison code from Dep.
       This module will only be needed until Lintian is converted to
       Dpkg::Version or AptPkg::Version.
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Add some additional typo and case corrections.  Patch from
       Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Copy test suite data based on checksum, not size and time,
       since some files change one character and Git doesn't preserve
       timestamps.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #514496)
 .
   * unpack/list-{binpkg,udebpkg}:
     + [RA] Preserve the source_version field from the previous list when
       adding new packages, remove some dead code, and restructure for
       improved readability.  Thanks to Jordà Polo for the analysis.
       (Closes: #507849)
     + [RA] Generate an index of files in the upstream source tarball.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.

Description:
 lintian    - Debian package checker
Closes: 513795 513823 513831
Changes:
 lintian (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "this is why spooky action at a distance is bad" release.
 .
   * checks/copyright-file:
     + [ADB] Treat the new copyright file format's "License-Alias: Perl" as
       indicating that the package is licensed under the same terms as Perl.
       Thanks, gregor herrmann.  (Closes: #513831)
   * checks/debconf:
     + [RA] Reset $/ before issuing duplicate-fields-in-templates to
       prevent problems if -i was given.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Remove stray localization of $/, which broke -i when issuing
       tags about ${misc:Depends}.
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Stop pointlessly setting $/ while parsing debian/rules and then
       restoring it to the wrong value, which broke -i when issuing some
       tags if they were the first tags issued.
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Add nickle as a known interpreter.  Patch from Julien Cristau.
       (Closes: #513823)
 .
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [ADB] Localise a use of $_ in control file parsing to avoid overwriting
       it and leading to uninitialized value warnings in check scripts.
       (Closes: #513795)

 .
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add checks for references to the versionless FSF license files,
       pedantic if the package license allows relicensing under later
       versions.   Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #497346)
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.
     + [RA] Read only the first line of debian/compat, matching debhelper's

       gregor herrmann.  (Closes: #421549)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Run dbg-package-missing-depends against the source package
       instead of the binary package and check that it has a dependency
       against another binary package built from the same source rather
       than making assumptions about the package name.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #513336)
     + [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add check for fonts in non-font packages.  Thanks, Paul Wise
       and Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #513650)
     + [RA] Add check for fonts that duplicate already packaged fonts.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.  Thanks to Paul Wise for analysis and
       data.  (Partly addresses #298545)
   * checks/shared-libs.desc:
     + [RA] Add references to the UsingSymbolsFiles wiki page in the tags
       requesting generation of a symbols file.
     + [RA] Provide details on how to manually check some of the shared

       Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #513766)
   * checks/version-substvars:
     + [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.
 .
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [RA] New file listing all font filenames in Debian and the
       containing package names.  Generated by private/refresh-fonts-data.
   * data/output/manual-references:
     + [RA] Manual reference data used for formatting tag descriptions.
       Moved from lib/manual_refs and added an explanatory header.
 .
   * frontend/lintian-info:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [RA] Add binary_field() method to return a binary package field from
       debian/control for a source package.  Based on a patch by Raphael
       Geissert.
     + [RA] Rewrite the binaries() method to use binary_field().  Based on
       a patch by Raphael Geissert.
   * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
     + [ADB] Add a colour for pedantic tags to avoid warnings when colourised
       output is used and make the combination more useful.  Thanks, gregor
       herrmann.  (Closes: #513132)
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
     + [RA] Force early exporting of functions to be more robust in the
       face of circular library dependencies.  The circular dependencies
       had already existed but not previously caused problems.
   * lib/Lintian/Output/LetterQualifier.pm:
     + [ADB] Add support for pedantic tags.
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
   * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
     + [RA] New module providing an interface to tag metadata.  Currently,
       this only supports formatting the tag description, merging the
       actions previously done by Manual_refs.pm and Read_taginfo.pm.  It
       defers loading of manual references until they're needed, which
       removes the requirement that LINTIAN_ROOT be already set in the
       environment before running the reporting harness.  It also saves a
       small amount of time in runs without -I.
   * lib/Manual_refs.pm:
     + [RA] Removed, merged into Lintian::Tag::Info.
   * lib/manual_refs:
     + [RA] Moved to data/output/manual-references.
   * lib/Read_taginfo.pm:
     + [RA] Removed, merged into Lintian::Tag::Info.
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [RA] Force early exporting of functions to be more robust in the
       face of circular library dependencies.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [ADB] Fix the spelling of "pedantic".  Thanks, Michal Čihař.
       (Closes: #513083)
 .
   * private/refresh-fonts-data:
     + [RA] New script to refresh the list of font filenames and containing
       packages in Debian.  Based on a script by Raphael Geissert.
   * private/refresh-manual-refs:
     + [RA] Renamed from manual_refs_update.pl.  Add a section heading to
       the output file and update the file in Lintian's data directory
       directly rather than printing to standard output.
 .
   * reporting/config:
     + [RA] Set a bin directory and disable signature checks by default.
   * reporting/harness
     + [RA] Add the bin directory to the path and create a gpg link to
       /bin/true if signature checks are disabled.  This is a hack to work
       with the etch version of dpkg-source.  In lenny, the --no-check flag
       will be used instead.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add support for selecting a different test package skeleton.
   * t/templates/pedantic{,.upstream}:
     + [RA] New template that passes all pedantic checks.

     + [RA] Add tag description for malformed-changes-file.
   * checks/menus:
     + [RA] Recognize type as a way of checking for binaries, even though
       it's a bashism, so that we don't issue confusing duplicate tags for
       one same problem.  (Closes: #512119)
   * checks/nmu{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Suppress NMU warnings for packages with "local" in the version
       number or "local package" in the first line of the changelog.
       Thanks, Zack Weinberg.  (Closes: #501523)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Mention type as a bashism and recommend which or command -v.
     + [RA] Recognize type as a way of checking for binaries, even though
       it's a bashism, so that we don't issue confusing duplicate tags for
       one same problem.
   * checks/standards-version.desc:
     + [RA] Add a pointer to the debian-policy upgrading-checklist.txt.gz
       in out-of-date-standards-version and ancient-standards-version.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Check that .changes files have at least a Format key.  If not,
       issue malformed-changes-file and skip them.  This catches .changes
       files that were PGP-signed twice.  (Closes: #315538)
 .
   * lib/Dep.pm:
     + [RA] New function, parse_noarch(), which ignores architecture
       qualifications when parsing a dependency field.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add pre_upstream hook to modify the upstream source before
       generation of the .orig.tar.gz.

 lintian    - Debian package checker
Closes: 30020 183642 292055 498883 507278 510869 511213

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added
       - changed-by-address-is-on-localhost

 .
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Tag (severity: wishlist) duplicate short or long descriptions
       in packages built from the same source.  (Closes: #30020)
     + [RA] Clarify the binary-control-field-duplicates-source tag.
       (Closes: #511213)
   * checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
     + [RA] New check for the format of *.deb ar archives.  Most cases will
       fail during unpack, but dpkg-deb is more forgiving than dak and
       allows ordering problems and extra members that dak rejects.
       (Closes: #292055)
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Use check_maintainer from Lintian::Check, which suppresses
       duplicate tags for some ill-formed maintainer fields.
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [RA] New tag descriptions for Changed-By field tests.
   * checks/rules:
     + [RA] Consider a define command to be the end of a list of target
       commands, avoiding binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep false
       positives when an empty rule is followed by a definition.
       (Closes: #510869)
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Run maintainer well-formedness checks on the Changed-By field
       of the *.changes file.  (Closes: #183642)
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [RA] New module for checks run from multiple places.
   * lib/Lintian/{Output.pm,Output/*.pm}:
     + [RA] Expect a single string of extra information rather than an
       array, removing duplicate code to convert it to a string.
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [RA] Fix Perl warnings triggered by missing fields in the control
       file of a binary package.
   * lib/Tags.pm:
     + [RA] Avoid Perl warnings if Severity or Certainty isn't set for a
       tag.  (Closes: #507278)
     + [RA] Record statistics for certainty correctly.
     + [RA] Canonicalize the extra tag information once and pass it as a
       string to the other output methods.  Based on a patch by Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #498883)
     + [RA] Fix override checking with extra tag information that Perl
       evaluates to false (such as a bare 0).
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Document new deb-format check script.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add support for running lintian on changes files in t/changes
       and checking the tag output.
     + [RA] Add support for building a Debian package using basic tools,
       with more complete control over the contents, and running lintian on
       the results.
     + [RA] Fix exit status when a test fails but -k was given.

 .
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Warn of Debian version numbers containing "testing", "stable",
       or "unstable", or with release code names for uploads not targeted
       at that release, except in NMUs.  Based on a patch by Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #498876)
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Warn (severity: wishlist) of binary control stanzas duplicating
       fields of the source control stanza.  (Closes: #497348)
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Warn (severity: wishlist) about the old dh_make packaging
       copyright, which used (C) without the word or symbol.  Based on a
       patch by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #497347)
     + [RA] Clean up checks of a symlinked /usr/share/doc directory and
       avoid making package info global.
     + [RA] Warn about older PHP licenses.  Based on a patch by Raphael
       Geissert.  (Closes: #498875)
   * checks/cruft:
     + [RA] Keep the hash of files for which warnings were already issued
       local to each package, reducing memory consumption and false
       negatives for archive-wide runs.
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Check for use of shell brace expansion in debhelper config
       files that list filenames, which is not supported.  Based on a patch
       from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #480939)
     + [RA] If dh is used, require debhelper tokens in maintainer scripts.
     + [ADB] Warn about packages declaring a debhelper compatibility level
       of 7 or above and using dh_clean -k, which has been deprecated in
       favour of dh_prep.
     + [RA] Add dh_auto_* and dh_prep to the debhelper scripts that require
       a particular version of debhelper.
     + [RA] De-duplicate the list of scripts with specific version
       requirements before issuing tags.
     + [RA] Upgrade package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper to
       certain (although still minor), making it a warning.  debhelper(7)
       explicitly recommends a versioned build dependency on debhelper.
       Rewrite the tag description accordingly.
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] dh-make-php provides a CDBS rule fragment and hence should go
       into Build-Depends, not Build-Depends-Indep.  Thanks, Mathieu
       Parent.  (Closes: #509286)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Packages whose executables are all in /usr/games should
       probably be in section games.  (Closes: #509147)
   * checks/menu-format{,.desc}:
     + [RA] If a *.desktop file contains a MimeType key, check that the
       postinst calls update-desktop-database.  (Closes: #488832)
     + [RA] Stop keeping a separate hash of all files in the package and
       use Lintian::Collect information.  The hash was being reused across
       packages, possibly leading to excessive memory consumption and false
       negatives for archive-wide runs.
   * checks/menus:
     + [RA] Keep the hash of files and symlinks local to each package,
       reducing memory consumption and false negatives for archive-wide
       runs.
   * checks/patch-systems.desc:
     + [RA] Improve the patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff long
       description.  (Closes: #496516)
   * checks/rules{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Remove desktop-file-but-no-dh_desktop-call.  The only action of
       dh_desktop is now checked by desktop-mimetype-without-update-call;
       dh_desktop is unnecessary with other *.desktop files.
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Overhaul checking of maintainer script and config interpreters:
       - postrm scripts must use an essential interpreter.
       - Only preinst scripts require Pre-Depends; Depends is sufficient for
         postinst and prerm scripts.  (Closes: #508307)
       - Separate unknown-control-interpreter from unusual-interpreter
         since it's much more likely to be an error.
       - Separate control-interpreter-in-usr-local from
         interpreter-in-usr-local since the severity is higher.
       - unusual-control-interpreter is certain, not possible.
       - Suppress some cases of multiple tags about the same basic problem.
     + [RA] Check for scripts in /etc that call init scripts directly
       without using invoke-rc.d.  Based on a patch by Raphael Geissert.
       (Closes: #381485)
     + [RA] Allow dpkg-dev to satisfy a make dependency.  (Closes: #510190)
     + [ADB] More intelligently remove comments from shell scripts, to avoid
       removing some constructs that aren't comments, such as those in
       [ $# -gt 2 ] and "foo # bar".
     + [ADB] Flag the source bashism when its argument is quoted or a bare
       filename.
   * checks/watch-file:
     + [RA] Recognize additional SourceForge URLs and recommend the
       redirector.  Thanks, Riccardo Stagni.  (Closes: #510398)
 .
   * collection/copyright-file:
     + [RA] Copy copyright files that are relative links, provided that the
       link is safe, and otherwise treat symlinked copyright files as if
       they were empty.  Fixes a Lintian crash on packages where the
       copyright file is a relative symlink.
 .
   * debian/copyright:
     + [RA] Add an explicit key to initials used in changelog entries.
   * debian/rules:
     + [RA] New check-tag target which runs all test cases in the new test
       suite that check for or against a particular tag.
 .
   * data/debhelper/filename-config-files:
     + [RA] New file listing debhelper config files containing filenames.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] When processing the entire archive, do so in sorted order.
 .
   * private/update-never-seen:
     + [RA] Merge data from both test suites and use the tag files for the
       old test suite rather than relying on runtests -v.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] We only care about the first line of the archive timestamp.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Check that a test produces all tags listed in Test-For and
       doesn't produce any tages listed in Test-Against.
     + [RA] Support finding and running all tests for or against a
       particular tag.
     + [RA] Correctly set up non-native packages for dpkg-source.
   * t/tests/README:
     + [RA] Add documentation of the new test suite.
