+ Added
- diff-contains-cmake-cache-file
- diff-contains-hg-tags-file
- duplicate-uploader
- empty-debian-diff
- malformed-changes-file
- missing-comma-after-substvar
- source-contains-hg-tags-file
* checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Check for missing commas after substvars in dependency fields.
Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #409099)
* checks/cruft{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Error on CMakeCache.txt files added or modified in the diff.
Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #510957)
+ [RA] Warn about .hgtags files in the diff and source. Thanks,
Holger Levsen and Chris Lamb. (Closes: #464837)
+ [RA] Warn if the Debian diff or a non-native package is entirely
empty. (Closes: #498668)
* checks/debhelper:
+ [RA] Ignore architecture when checking whether sufficient build
dependencies are present for dh_* commands. If the maintainer has
architecture-restricted build dependencies, they presumably know
what they're doing. (Closes: #511859)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Warn about an individual uploader appearing multiple times
in Uploaders. Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #511536)
+ [RA] Ignore architecture qualifications when checking for missing
build dependencies.
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] Add tag description for malformed-changes-file.
* checks/menus:
+ [RA] Recognize type as a way of checking for binaries, even though
it's a bashism, so that we don't issue confusing duplicate tags for
one same problem. (Closes: #512119)
* checks/nmu{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Suppress NMU warnings for packages with "local" in the version
number or "local package" in the first line of the changelog.
Thanks, Zack Weinberg. (Closes: #501523)
* checks/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Mention type as a bashism and recommend which or command -v.
+ [RA] Recognize type as a way of checking for binaries, even though
it's a bashism, so that we don't issue confusing duplicate tags for
one same problem.
* checks/standards-version.desc:
+ [RA] Add a pointer to the debian-policy upgrading-checklist.txt.gz
in out-of-date-standards-version and ancient-standards-version.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Check that .changes files have at least a Format key. If not,
issue malformed-changes-file and skip them. This catches .changes
files that were PGP-signed twice. (Closes: #315538)
* lib/Dep.pm:
+ [RA] New function, parse_noarch(), which ignores architecture
qualifications when parsing a dependency field.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Add pre_upstream hook to modify the upstream source before
generation of the .orig.tar.gz.
lintian (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- changed-by-address-is-on-localhost
- changed-by-address-looks-weird
- changed-by-address-malformed
- changed-by-address-missing
- changed-by-name-missing
- duplicate-long-description
- duplicate-short-description
- malformed-deb-archive
* checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Tag (severity: wishlist) duplicate short or long descriptions
in packages built from the same source. (Closes: #30020)
+ [RA] Clarify the binary-control-field-duplicates-source tag.
(Closes: #511213)
* checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
+ [RA] New check for the format of *.deb ar archives. Most cases will
fail during unpack, but dpkg-deb is more forgiving than dak and
allows ordering problems and extra members that dak rejects.
(Closes: #292055)
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Use check_maintainer from Lintian::Check, which suppresses
duplicate tags for some ill-formed maintainer fields.
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] New tag descriptions for Changed-By field tests.
* checks/rules:
+ [RA] Consider a define command to be the end of a list of target
commands, avoiding binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep false
positives when an empty rule is followed by a definition.
(Closes: #510869)
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Run maintainer well-formedness checks on the Changed-By field
of the *.changes file. (Closes: #183642)
* lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+ [RA] New module for checks run from multiple places.
* lib/Lintian/{Output.pm,Output/*.pm}:
+ [RA] Expect a single string of extra information rather than an
array, removing duplicate code to convert it to a string.
* lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
+ [RA] Fix Perl warnings triggered by missing fields in the control
file of a binary package.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [RA] Avoid Perl warnings if Severity or Certainty isn't set for a
tag. (Closes: #507278)
+ [RA] Record statistics for certainty correctly.
+ [RA] Canonicalize the extra tag information once and pass it as a
string to the other output methods. Based on a patch by Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #498883)
+ [RA] Fix override checking with extra tag information that Perl
evaluates to false (such as a bare 0).
* man/lintian.1:
+ [RA] Document new deb-format check script.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Add support for running lintian on changes files in t/changes
and checking the tag output.
+ [RA] Add support for building a Debian package using basic tools,
with more complete control over the contents, and running lintian on
the results.
+ [RA] Fix exit status when a test fails but -k was given.
