Changes:
lintian (1.23.23) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "new Python policy" release
.
* checks/binaries.desc:
+ [RA] Greatly expand the binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath long
description based on recent discussion in debian-policy. Add a
reference to the wiki page. (Closes: #378054, #378055)
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Diagnose changelog files that are symlinks, using the new way
the changelog-file collection script processes them.
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Add Python-Version as a known source and binary field.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [RA] Catch "<fill in http/ftp site>" as well as the string without
"http/". Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #374167)
* checks/deb-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Remove deb-created-with-broken-tar; the bug was actually in
dpkg, and the dpkg in stable has been fixed. Thanks Jari Aalto and
Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #375638, #376030)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Diagnose a missing template description only once and avoid
Perl warnings. Thanks, Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #377654)
* checks/debhelper:
+ [RA] Use the standard control file parser rather than a custom
parser that can't handle continuation lines.
+ [RA] Warn if dh_python is used without debian/pycompat in non-CDBS
packages and check for the debhelper version required for Python
policy. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #375318)
* checks/fields{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Don't warn virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
for Recommends and rewrite the tag description to be more accurate.
Thanks to Martin F. Krafft for the report. (Closes: #370720)
+ [RA] ~ is now permitted in version numbers. (Closes: #381965)
+ [RA] Catch and check dependencies correctly for debconf-updatepo run
from the clean target. Thanks, James Westby. (Closes: #380399)
+ [RA] Warn when encountering an aspell dictionary package that isn't
arch: all. Thanks, Piotr Engelking. (Closes: #374899)
+ [RA] Check the syntax of the new Python-Version field.
+ [RA] Check for missing build dependencies on python-central or
python-support. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.
+ [RA] Check for old << dependencies on Python in Python packages that
lack a Python-Version control field, as these are probably packages
that don't follow the new Python policy. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Provide a better explanation of why Debian packages shouldn't
ship files in /srv. (Closes: #379176)
+ [RA] Warn about files installed into /etc/gconf/schemas.
+ [RA] Warn about files in /usr/lib/site-python. Thanks, Thomas
Viehmann and Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #372748)
* checks/manpages{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Warn about manpage short descriptions of the form "manual page
for program" (usually generated by help2man).
* checks/menu:
+ [RA] Ignore trailing whitespace in doc-base files. Patch from Bas
Zoetekouw. (Closes: #379749)
* checks/nmu{.desc,}:
+ [RA] When checking for an NMU changelog entry, require "NMU" be
surrounded by word boundaries.
+ [RA] Warn if the changelog incorrectly indicates an NMU. Thanks to
George Danchev for the report.
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Except mkstemp from possibly-insecure-handling-of-tmp-files for
maintainer scripts written in Perl.
+ [RA] Mention [[ ]] explicitly in the possible-bashism long
description as requiring a Korn shell and make it clearer that the
primary arbiter of this test is the POSIX shell specification.
(Closes: #381800 by clarification)
+ [RA] Use the Dep library to check dependencies. Add php5 to the
interpreter list and correctly handle the dependencies for
version-less PHP scripts. (Closes: #379558)
+ [RA] Check for proper dependencies if gconf-schemas is called in
maintainer scripts and diagnose calling gconftool(-2) directly.
Thanks, Josselin Mouette. (Closes: #333311)
* checks/version-substvars{.desc,}:
+ [RA] New check from Adeodato Simó for proper use of substvars for
versioned dependencies between packages built from the same source
package so that NMUs will work properly. Also catch use of such a
substvar for a versioned dependency on a package not built from the
same source. (Closes: #377141, #376596)
.
* collection/changelog-file:
+ [RA] Be much more careful about changelog files that are symlinks.
Don't skip over changelog symlinks just because they point to
non-existant files, mark unsafe symlinks or symlinks to non-existent
files by creating copyright as a symlink to a non-existent file in
the lab, and don't create an empty dummy changelog if we couldn't
find a changelog. Correctly handle changelog files that are
symlinks to other files in the same directory.
.
* debian/copyright:
+ [RA] Add Subversion repository location.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [JvW] Give error if there is no "Description" field in .changes, this is
required by dak
.
* frontend/lintian-info:
+ [RA] Add the -t or --tags option that, given a tag name, prints out
the description. (Closes: #376109)
.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [RA] If a tag has been overriden via any mechanism, do not add it to
any of the statistics (tag, severity, or significance). Before, the
override only suppressed a record for the specific statistic the
override was based on, meaning that classic tag-based overrides
didn't suppress severity statistics. Overridden error tags would
therefore cause lintian to exit with non-zero status. Thanks,
Andree Leidenfrost and Martin F. Krafft. (Closes: #377182, #374314)
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Better document the --archivedir and --dist options and how
lintian constructs the path to an archive. (Closes: #383203)
+ [RA] Document new version-substvars check script.
* man/lintian-info.1:
+ [RA] Document the new -t or --tags option.
.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Include the lintian version in HTML page footers. Thanks,
Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #377616)
