lintian 2.5.63 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

lintian (2.5.63) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - development-package-ships-elf-binary-in-path
      - excessive-priority-for-library-package
      - multiarch-foreign-cmake-file
      - multiarch-foreign-pkgconfig
      - multiarch-foreign-static-library
      - package-contains-compiled-font-file
      - package-contains-compiled-glib-schema

  * checks/binaries.{pm,desc}:
    + [CL] Add an experimental check for development packages that ship
      ELF binaries in $PATH. Host architecture binaries are generally not
      executable so such files are useless for cross builds.
      (Closes: #794295)
  * checks/cruft.desc:
    + [CL] Add debian/changelog to the file-contains-trailing-whitespace
      example to make it even easier to copy-paste.
  * checks/fields.{pm,desc}:
    + [CL] Warn about library packages with excessive priority. Thanks to
      Josh Triplett for the report.  (Closes: #834290)
  * checks/files.{pm,desc}:
    + [CL] Warn about Multi-Arch: foreign packages that ship CMake,
      pkg-config or static libraries in public, architecture-dependent
      search paths. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the initial patch and
      report.  (Closes: #882684)
    + [CL] Raise the certainty of multiarch-foreign-shared-library from
      "wild guess" to "possible" on the suggestion of Helmut Grohne.
    + [CL] Test for packages shipping "gschemas.compiled" files. Thanks
      to Andreas Beckmann for the idea.  (Closes: #884142)
    + [CL] Warn if a package ships compiled font files. Thank you to
      Andreas Beckmann for the report.  (Closes: #884165)
  * checks/python.pm:
    + [CL] Also check for packages installing modules called "site" or
      "docs" into the global namespace.  (Closes: #769365)
  * checks/scripts.desc:
    + [CL] Update description of python-script-but-no-python-dep to refer
      to ${python3:Depends}. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo.  (Closes: #660718)
    + [CL] Prevent a false-positive in missing-dep-for-interpreter by
      matching ABI-versioned virtual packages for Erlang. Thanks to
      Jean Parpaillon for the report.  (Closes: #810204)
  * checks/source-copyright.desc:
    + [CL] Update description of source-includes-file-in-files-excluded
      to clarify the potential problem and to reference the relevant
      wishlist bug against git-buildpackage.
  * checks/python.pm:
    + [CL] Clarify that new-package-should-not-package-python2-module
      triggers when there is a single changelog entry as well as providing
      general guidance where upstreams have not ported to Python 3 yet.

  * commands/lintian.pm:
    + [CL] Correct parsing of "jobs=42" in lintianrc. If specified, it
      would be coerced to a boolean resulting in a value of 1.
    + [CL] Allow the tag display limit to be configured via the
      "--tag-display-limit" command-line argument or "tag-display-limit"
      in lintianrc.  (Closes: #813525)
    + [CL] Make -v imply --no-tag-display-limit.  (Closes: #812756)

  * data/files/privacy-breaker-fragments:
    + [CL] Don't match, for example, "FB.login()" when used as a
      documentation example.  (Closes: #884296)
  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [PW] Add a number of corrections.

  * doc/lintianrc.example:
    + [CL] Add missing "jobs" entry.

  * profiles/pureos/main.profile:
    + [CL] Add a profile for Purism's PureOS.  (Closes: #884408)

  * reporting/images/*.png:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Ville Skyttä that runs the .PNG files through
      the "zopflipng" minimiser tool to save space.  (Closes: #884559)

  * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
    + [CL] Add links from each maintainer page (which does not include
      pedantic tags, etc.) to the corresponding package on the full report,
      Thanks to Paul Wise for the idea and report.  (Closes: #884572)

  * vendors/pureos/main/data/changes-file/known-dists:
    + [CL] Add data file for PureOS.

lintian: Debian package checker

 Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
 violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
 policy as well as some checks for common errors.
 .
 It uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which it stores
 information about the packages it examines. It can keep this
 information between multiple invocations in order to avoid repeating
 expensive data-collection operations. This makes it possible to check the
 complete Debian archive for bugs, in a reasonable time.
 .
 This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian
 packages for compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer
 should check packages with this tool before uploading them to the
 archive.
 .
 This version of Lintian is calibrated for policy version 4.1.4.
