This bug was fixed in the package lintian - 2.1.0ubuntu1 --------------- 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. -- Adrien Cunin
