Changelog
lintian (2.1.0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
* Sync from Debian unstable
* Recognize Ubuntu native packages as Ubuntu packages (LP: #273997)
- Use distribution (and not only version) to decide whether a package
is an Ubuntu package
lintian (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- debhelper-but-no-misc-depends
- missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command
- quilt-patch-missing-description
- shlib-calls-exit
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [FL] New variable $known_shells_regex which matches known shell
names. This removes some synchronisation issues between the
different regexes in use.
* checks/debconf{,.desc}:
+ [CW] Update my e-mail address.
+ [ADB] Don't detect the use of "?" as a literal character or wildcard
as part of a question in an extended template description. Based
on a patch by Stephen Gran. (Closes: #500661)
* checks/debhelper:
+ [FL] Use Lintian::Data for list of debhelper commands that modify
maintainer scripts. Patch by Raphael Geissert.
+ [FL] Add new tag missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command for
debhelper commands that are not from the debhelper package.
Patch by Raphael Geissert.
+ [FL] Add new tag debhelper-but-no-misc-depends which warns
about missing misc:Depends if you use commands that might
set it. Patch by Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #499737)
* checks/fields:
+ [ADB] Ignore non-dependency fields when considering whether a
versioned dependency is satisfied by the perl core packages.
Based on a patch by Niko Tyni. (Closes: #500720)
+ [RA] Stop checking for a libmodule-build-perl build dependency since
Module::Build now comes with Perl. Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
(Closes: #506697)
* checks/files:
+ [ADB] Apply patches from Raphael Geissert to update the list of
embedded PHP libraries:
- Add detection for the Snoopy and GeSHi libraries and the use of
phpmailer.inc (rather than .php).
- Enable the libmarkdown-php check, as the package is now in unstable.
- Add support for the (not currently packaged and thus disabled) IXR
and kses libraries.
* checks/infofiles:
+ [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
* checks/menus:
+ [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
* checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Don't include dpatch comment lines containing no content
when determining whether the patch includes a description.
(Closes: #503695)
+ [ADB] Add missing "diffstat" to the Needs-Info field.
+ [ADB] Check whether quilt patches include a description.
(Closes: #498892)
* check/scripts:
+ [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
+ [FL] Add icmake as a known interpreter as requested by
Frank B. Brokken. (Closes: #505868)
* checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Don't issue both symbols-file-contains-debian-revision and
symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision for any
given symbol, as the latter implies the former and may thus create
noise in the tests' output. (Closes: #505826)
+ [ADB] Add an experimental tag flagging shared libraries that call
_exit() or exit() without at some point calling fork() (a somewhat
inaccurate heuristic, but one which should weed out a number of
false positives). (Closes: #504257)
* collection/objdump-info:
+ [ADB] Only use readelf to emulate objdump if objdump returned "file
format not recognized". In cases where the objdump output was "invalid
operation", the output of etch's readelf is not particularly useful
and it's easier to simply let the checks scripts handle the objdump
output.
* debian/control:
+ [FL] Add dependency on libipc-run-perl for Lintian::Command.
* doc/lintian.sgml:
+ [ADB] Correct a few typos in the "overrides" section.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
+ [CW] Add jaunty as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
the EOLed edgy and feisty.
+ [ADB] Don't complain about unused overrides if the check script
for the overriden tag hasn't been run (or --tags was used and
the overriden tag not specified). (Closes: #501722)
* lib/Lintian/Output:
+ [FL] New module to bundle output methods.
* lib/Tags/{ColonSeparated,LetterQualifier}.pm:
+ [FL] Move to lib/Lintian/Output and convert to subclasses of
Lintian::Output.
* lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+ [FL] New experimental output format.
* lib/Lintian/Command:
+ [FL] New utility module as a replacement for Pipeline. Provides
a convenient wrapper around IPC::Run.
* lib/Lab.pm:
+ [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
* lib/Pipeline.pm:
+ [FL] Remove, replaced by Lintian::Command.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Add subversion to Subversion correction for package descriptions.
Thanks, Sandro Tosi. (Closes: #506793)
+ [ADB] Don't check text contained within square brackets for
capitalisation mistakes. This allows for lists such as "[ cvs |
subversion ]" to be included.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
+ [FL] Add some new utility functions: delete_dir copy_dir gunzip_file
touch_file.
* private/refresh-debhelper-data:
+ [FL] New script to update debhelper related data by Raphael Geissert.
- data/debhelper/miscDepends_commands: debhelper commands that set
misc:Depends
- data/debhelper/maint_commands: debhelper commands that edit
maintainer scripts
- data/debhelper/dh_packages: packages that contain debhelper commands
- data/debhelper/dh_commands: mapping of debhelper commands to
packages they are contained in
* testset/{diffs,filenames}:
+ [ADB] Generate the files "files/'\ " and "filenames.c~" at build time
instead of including it in the source package, to allow lintian to be
imported in to Bazaar.
