* checks/*:
+ [NT] Use Lintian::Path objects as arguments to unpacked
and control where these objects are available.
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] Do not complain about kernel modules with no shared
library dependency information. Patch from Guillem Jover.
(Closes: #706242)
+ [NT] Demote the certainty of hardening-no-fortify-functions

* checks/conffiles:
+ [NT] Strip whitespace from conffiles similar to how dpkg
does it.
+ [NT] When emitting duplicate-conffile, avoid repeating
other tags related to that conffile. The exception to
this is relative-conffile where the original file might
not have triggered that tag.
+ [NT] Test that all paths listed in the "conffiles" control
file is actually in the package being tested.

description of the tag outdated-autotools-helper-file.

for symlinks ascending one or more levels without escaping
the package root. Thanks to Michael Schutte for the
report and the patch. (Closes: #707742)

* checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Retire some tags that are no longer relevant in the
Jessie development cycle.

deprecated tool, dh_pysupport. (Closes: #709615)

+ [NT] Skip extended-description-is-probably-too-short
for -dbg packages. Thanks to Paul Wise for the suggestion.
(Closes: #705441)
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [NT] Clarify that the "canonical URI" for Vcs fields is
based on an announcement from the Alioth admins. Thanks
to Torquil Sørensen for the report. (Closes: #705835)

to "Vcs-*" fields that the tags are based on a data list
(and is not a result of a HTTP request while checking the
package).

+ [NT] Remove tests for commands that are provided by
Lintian's dependencies.
+ [RA] Add new check for a Language-Team field in a translation
pointing to the debian-i18n mailing list. Based on work by
victory. (Closes: #705197)
* checks/rules:
+ [NT] Remove check for "dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~)" build-dependency,
since this is trivially satisfied in Wheezy and Jessie.

provides a C.UTF-8.
.
* doc/tutorial/**/*.pod:
+ [NT] Fix a number of spelling mistakes in the POD.
* doc/tutorial/Lintian/Tutorial/WritingChecks.pod:
+ [NT] Add a section about how to avoid some common ways
of introducing security issues.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [NT] Ignore LINTIAN_ROOT/locale and /var/lib/lintian/locale.
+ [NT] Export LINTIAN_INCLUDE_DIRS and LINTIAN_HELPERS_DIR to
subprocesses. These are ":"-separated lists of dirs used by
Lintian. The first being a list of raw include dirs and the
second being a list of helpers dirs in these include dirs.

* lib/Lintian/Collect/{Package,Binary}.pm:
+ [NT] Accept Lintian::Path objects to unpacked and control.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [NT] Provide a "source" specific is_non_free method that reads
the "Section"-field from d/control instead of the .dsc. This
fixes false-positives "problematic licenses" for non-free
packages. Thanks to Bastien Roucariès for the report.
(Closes: #709041)
* lib/Lintian/Path.pm:
+ [NT] Rename link_resolved to link_normalized.
* lib/Lintian/Unpacker.pm:
+ [NT] On platform that support it, change the "name" of the
process running the collection. This makes it easier to
see what collections are currently being run (like in the
versions prior to 2.5.12). For platforms, where it is
not possible to change the name of a running process, the
unpack jobs will simply be named "lintian" like its parent.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Fix a race condition in touch_file.
+ [NT] Add sanity check in perm2oct for bad permission
strings and throw errors when they are seen (instead
of returning 0).
+ [NT] Require that the input file is present for
read_dpkg_control and get_deb_control.
+ [NT] In copy_dir, pass --reflink=auto to cp.
+ [NT] Replace resolve_pkg_path with to normalize_pkg_path.
The latter has slightly different return values in some
cases.
+ [NT] Avoid the LOCPATH dance to find the path to an UTF-8
locale now that stable's libc-bin provides C.UTF-8 for us.
+ [NT] Add new function, locate_helper_tool, to find helper
tools.
.
* private/refresh-perl-provides:
+ [NT] Apply patch from Niko Tyni to improve Lintian's
data file about Perl modules provided by perl-base.
.
* profiles/debian/extra-apache2.profile:
+ [NT] Removed, merged into debian/main.profile.
* profiles/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject.profile:
+ [NT] Include md5sums-mismatch and non-standard-toplevel-dir
as an overridable tag.
* profiles/debian/main.profile:
+ [NT] Include the apache2 check. Thanks to Arno Töll for
the report. (Closes: #708943)
.
* reporting/harness:
+ [NT] Stop exporting ENV variables that lintian no longer
cares about.
.
* vendors/ubuntu/main/data/changes-file/known-dists:
+ [NT] Add "saucy" as known Ubuntu distribution. Thanks to
Iain Lane for the report.
