lintian (2.5.49) unstable; urgency=medium
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- homepage-for-bioconductor-package-not-canonical
* checks/debhelper.desc:
+ [CL] Drop double leading spaces in includes-maint-script-parameters
paragraph that was causing indentation when rendered on lintian.d.o.
* checks/fields.{pm,desc}:
+ [NT] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag non-canonical uses of
the bioconductor homepage in the Homepage field. (Closes: #839874)
+ [JW] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag r-other packages not in
section "gnu-r". (Closes: #841455)
* checks/init.d.pm:
+ [JW] Don't require version constraint for lsb-base dependencies.
The needed version has been available for many stable releases.
* checks/shared-libs.pm:
+ [JW] Don't complain about executable bit for ld.so shipped in
multi-arch directories.
+ [JW] Don't complain about missing SONAME for position-independent
executables. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the bug report.
(Closes: #731987)
+ [JW] Check for PT_GNU_STACK existence on all architectures.
* checks/source-copyright.pm:
+ [RA, JW] Fix handling punctuation characters in license expressions
in machine-readable copyright files. (Closes: #841356)
* checks/watch-file.pm:
+ [JW] Assume that watch files containing the pgpmode option (different
than "none") verify upstream signature. Thanks to Robert Luberda for
the bug report. (Closes: #841000)
* data/cruft/non-distributable-files:
+ [BR] Add some rapidjson files.
* data/debhelper/compat-level:
+ [NT] Bump the deprecated debhelper compat level to match the one

+ [BR] Apply patch from Frederic Bonnard detecting audio tags.
(Closes: #840009)
* data/spelling/corrections*:
+ [JW, PW] Add more corrections.
* lib/Lintian/Unpacker.pm:
+ [NT] Use the new "do_fork()" sub to ensure works do not inherit
the default signal handler, which could allow any number of workers
to promote themselves to independent "masters" - effectively
creating a fork-bomb with an ill-timed signal.
* lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Add a "do_fork()" sub to ensure signal handling is
reset for child processes.
* t/tests/shared-libs-non-pic-i386/debian/Makefile:
+ [JW] Pass -fno-PIE and -fno-pie to GCC, so that the test works even
when the compiler enables PIE by default. (Closes: #841442)
