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. + [NT] Fix a bug where the exit code from lintian would sometimes be an undocumented value (>= 3). * helpers/coll: + [NT] New directory containing some helpers that used to be in directly collection. * lib/*: + [NT] Fix a number of spelling mistakes in the POD. * 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 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.
