Binary package hint: lintian
lintian (2.5.1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #798513). Remaining changes:
- Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file in Ubuntu due to CDBS.
- Add no-upstream-changelog tag to cruft-general-test-suite,
cruft-general-upstream, cruft-upstream-binaries, fields-no-homepage,
patch-systems-no-patch-system tests.
- checks/changelog-file.desc, testset/tags.libbaz: Drop
debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink tag.
- t/tests/changelog-file-symlink, t/tests/init.d-symlink: Drop these tests.
- checks/init.d: fix LP: #496798 again; upstream only took part of our
patch and the rest of the fix was dropped in the last merge; per
maintainer's comments in Debian bug #569492, Ubuntu will need to
carry this fix for the time being
- Add wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog tag to changelog-file-extra-upstream
test.
- t/tests/fields-multi-arch: Do not test invalid Multi-Arch field,
because dpkg-deb will already fail.
- Drop debug-symbols-directly-in-usr-lib-debug from binaries-general.
* Dropped changes:
- Prefer libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93) to perl (>= 5.12).

* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- bad-perm-for-file-in-etc-sudoers.d
- debian-rules-missing-recommended-target
- dh_pycentral-is-obsolete
- dh_python-is-obsolete
- illegal-multi-arch-value
- non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file
+ Removed:
- uses-dh-python-with-no-pycompat
- ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb
* checks/binaries:
+ [NT] Applied patch from Paul Wise to detect binaries embeddeding
glee, glew and libtheora. (Closes: #629288)
+ [NT] Also consider multiarch dirs when looking for public shared
libraries. (Closes: #630164)
* checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Recognise that dh_python and dh_pycentral are now obsolete.
(Closes: #496902, #541978)
* checks/changes-file:
+ [NT] Always verify the checksums of changes-files.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [NT] Extended current dh_make template checks. Thanks to
Nelson A. de Oliveira for the patch. (Closes: #598412)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Allow "all" and "any" to appear together in the Architecture
field of a .dsc file. (Closes: #626775)
+ [NT] Added illegal-multi-arch-value. (Closes: #616493)
* checks/files:
+ [NT] Fixed two misnamed udeb tags, which lead to an internal
error if triggered. Thanks to Guillem Jover for the report.
(Closes: #628754)
+ [NT] Added bad-perm-for-file-in-etc-sudoers.d tag.
(Closes: #588831)
+ [CW] Do not issue missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support for
udebs.
+ [NT] Limit missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support to real
files only. Previously it would also check symlinks.
(Closes: #629648)
* checks/java{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Sort the jar files by name, so they are checked in the same
order.
+ [NT] Improved the description of classpath-contains-relative-path.
(Closes: #629189)
+ [NT] Reduced false-positives of classpath-contains-relative-path.
Relative classpaths are now okay if they point to jar files in
/usr/share/java (but not subdirs thereof) and there is a strong
libX-java dependency. Alternatively if the classpath points to
a file or a symlink in the package itself, then it is also okay.
+ [NT] Allow maven plugins to be without classpaths.
(Closes: #629056)
* checks/manpages.desc:
+ [ADB] Don't suggest using debmake's output as a reference. The
package is not even in oldstable any more.
* checks/md5sums.desc:
+ [ADB] Drop references to obsolete debstd. Thanks to Steve Langasek
for the pointer.
* checks/rules:
+ [NT] Removed code for handling packages with dh_python.
+ [NT] Fixed the code for determining Build-Depends for python
packages. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the patch.
(Closes: #614876, #616553)
+ [NT] Applied patch from Roger Leigh to implement the check for
rules files missing the build-arch and build-indep targets.
(Closes: #605012)
* checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file. (Closes: #628673)
+ [NT] Removed ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb.
* collection/java:
+ [NT] Fixed a regex that would accept any file ending with "jar" to
be a jar file rather than only accepting ".jar". This fixes a
number of false-positives java checks.
* collection/unpacked:
+ [NT] Added support for unpacking source packages using libdpkg-perl,
instead of dpkg-source, if the latter is not present.
(Closes: #626476)
* data/binaries/multiarch-dirs:
+ [NT] New file - maps architectures to multiarch dirs.
* data/fields/{perl-provides,virtual-packages}:
+ [NT] Refreshed. (Closes: #627082, #627431)
* data/output/ftp-master-*:
+ [NT] Refreshed.
* data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
+ [NT] Updated ldconfig path for i386 multiarch paths. Thanks to
Raphaël Hertzog for the reminder.
* data/spelling/corrections-multiword:
+ [CW] Remove the "requires to" correction; it has too many common
false positives, especially involving relative clauses.
(Closes: #625886)
* debian/control:
+ [NT] (Build-)Dependency changes.
- xz-lzma is now preferred to lzma as Build-Dependency
- Added depends on libdpkg-perl
- Reduced dpkg-dev to a suggests, we can use libdpkg-perl as
fallback.
- Explicitly depends on bzip2 to always support bz2 source packages.
- Added xz-utils as suggests - needed for .xz source packages.
* doc/lintian.xml:
+ [NT] Clarify that the package type is not listed in the output for
binary packages. (Closes: #629193)
* frontend/lintian:
+ [NT] Allow some options to be put into the lintianrc file.
(Closes: #460350)
+ [NT] Added --no-cfg option that can be specified if no config
file should be read.
+ [NT] Deprecated --checksums (also known as --md5sums and -m).
Lintian will now always verify the checksums in changes files.
The options will be accepted with a warning for now, but may
be removed in a later release. (Closes: #629453)
+ [NT] Fixed an issue where fail was called before it was
available. Thanks to Toby Corkindale for the report.
(Closes: #630560, LP: #797553)
* lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
+ [NT] Output the name of the check and the type of the check
along with the description of the tag.
* lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+ [NT] Fixed a flaw in logic that gave incorrect results for
architecture dependent overrides. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for
the report and the patch. (Closes: #626587)
* man/lintian.pod.in:
+ [NT] Mentioned that --checksums and aliases are deprecated.
* unpack/list-srcpkg:
+ [ADB] Don't rely on the order of fields in the Sources file. The
files produced by the Debian archive no longer follow the order
which the code previously assumed, and we shouldn't assume that
the order won't change again in the future. (Closes: #626597)

Do we really need this change anymore since we have perl 5.12 now?
- Prefer libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93) to perl (>= 5.12).
