Format: 1.8 Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 05:17:01 +0000 Source: lintian Binary: lintian Architecture: source all Version: 2.5.72 Distribution: unstable Urgency: medium Maintainer: Debian Lintian Maintainers <lintian-maint@debian.org> Changed-By: Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org> Description: lintian - Debian package checker Closes: 735040 740118 762261 810780 831729 836771 878609 883719 887899 888074 888304 888413 888456 Changes: lintian (2.5.72) unstable; urgency=medium . * Summary of tag changes: + Added: - debian-rules-uses-deprecated-systemd-override - debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature + Removed: - debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature . * checks/binaries.pm: + [CL] Avoid a false positive for spelling-error-in-binary that was causing a FTBFS on armhf. (Closes: #888074) + [CL] Drop a duplicate line in spelling-error-in-binary exceptions. + [CL] Move spelling-error-in-binary exceptions to a data file. + [CL] Support binutils 2.29.90.20180122 (vs. 2.29.1) when parsing ELF files for errors as the newer version modified the readelf output. This was causing a testsuite failure when checking the apparently-corrupted-elf-binary tag. (Closes: #888456) * checks/cruft.{desc,pm}: + [CL] Do not emit "license-problem-php-license" when the source comes from pecl.php.net: "The last agreement with FTP Masters was that PHP license is OK when the sources some from PECL repository." (Closes: #810780) + [CL] Allow, for example, debian/missing-sources/foo.js directories to represent the source for foo.js. This is useful when foo.js is the result of concatenating multiple files. (Closes: #836771) * checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}: + [CL] Warn about packages that use about dh_systemd_enable or dh_systemd_start overrides whilst using debhelper compat level 11 as they are no longer being called. (Closes: #887899) + [CL] Include the offending context and line when emitting the brace-expansion-in-debhelper-config-file tag. + [CL] Avoid false positives and remove an existing (incorrect) test for apparent brace expansions in config files that do not include a comma. (Closes: #888304) * checks/fields.pm: + [CL] Also check xfonts-foo for font-package-not-multi-arch-foreign. * checks/files.desc: + [CL] Downgrade extra-license-file from "W" to "I". (Closes: #740118) * checks/patch-systems.{desc,pm}: + [CL] Ignore files called "README" or "README.patches" when checking packages for patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series. (Closes: #888413) + [CL] Ignore commented-out patches in series files when checking the patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series tag. + [CL] Check "$vendor.series" (not "series.$vendor") when checking for the patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series tag. * checks/source-copyright.desc: + [CL] Clarify that paragraph ordering matters in the description of the unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright tag. (Closes: #762261) * checks/watch-file.{desc,pm}: + [CL] Rename the debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature tag to debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature to avoid confusion around the "may check" implying that the package in question does such checking and we disapprove of it. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the suggestion. (Closes: #735040) . * data/fields/name_section_mappings: + [CL] Ensure xfonts-foo are recognised as part of the "x11" section to match the definition on https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/. (Closes: #878609) * data/spelling/corrections: + [PW] Add a number of corrections. . * debian/control: + [CL] docbook-xml is required to build the documentation, so drop "<!nocheck>" build restriction. * debian/copyright: + [CL] Add missing initials for Gergely Nagy, Sylvestre Ledru and Steve Langasek. (Closes: #831729) . * lib/Lintian/Check.pm: + [CL] Avoid false positives in the spelling-error-in-description (etc.) tags where the repetition is part of an acronym expansion such as "ORA (ORA Recursive Acronym)".
