Changelog
lintian (1.23.48~hardy1) hardy-backports; urgency=low
* Automated backport upload; no source changes.
lintian (1.23.48) unstable; urgency=low
The "Perl 5.10 compatibility" release.
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [FL] Add 8.5 versions to known_tcls and known_tks.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [FL] Also apply the "possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl" checks
to Pre-Depends.
* checks/menus:
+ [RA] Stop using a deprecated Perl construct that Perl 5.10 no longer
supports. Patch from Adam D. Barratt. (Closes: #479318)
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [RA] Fix an unescaped | in the regular expression parsing postinst
files for ldconfig invocation. The regex had always been broken,
but in Perl 5.10 it causes a recursion error in the regex engine.
* checks/version-substvars:
+ [FL] Also apply the "not-binnmuable-*" checks to Pre-Depends.
(Closes: #472247)
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Work around a Perl 5.10 bug with Getopt::Long and sub handlers.
* testset/runtests:
+ [RA] dpkg-source now enables the -i and -I regexes by default.
Replace the defaults with ones that never match so that we can
continue testing for cruft left in source packages.
lintian (1.23.47) unstable; urgency=low
The "long time no upload" release.
* checks/binaries{.desc,}
+ [RA] Permit architecture: all packages to have binaries in the
multiarch directories. (Closes: #469301)
+ [RA] Suggest an override for arch: all packages containing binaries
independent of the host architecture (such as for cross-compiles).
* checks/changelog-file:
+ [RA] Quash more Perl warnings on badly malformed NEWS.Debian files.
* checks/control-files:
+ [FL] Add 'triggers' as a valid control file. Thanks, Joey Hess.
(Closes: #473840)
* checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Document handling of false positives for GPL, GFDL, and LGPL
license references and catch the GFDL 1.1 false positive.
+ [FL] Add CeCILL license to false positives list for
copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl. Thanks,
Alexandre Fayolle. (Closes: #472933)
* checks/cruft:
+ [RA] Subversion conflicts generate three files, two with revision
numbers and one with .mine. Only warn about the revision numbers;
.mine probably won't occur alone and may be a false positive.
* checks/etcfiles:
+ [RA] /etc/init.d/{skeleton,rc,rcS} are not conffiles, and README
files in /etc need not be.
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [FL] Remove obsolete section base from list of valid sections in
unknown-section. (Closes: #471751)
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] /etc/init.d/{skeleton,README} don't need to be executable.
+ [RA] Warn about linda overrides since linda has been removed from
the archive. Thanks, Y Giridhar Appaji Nag. (Closes: #469603)
+ [RA] Check for numeric owners or groups outside of the reserved
static ranges. Patch from Håkon Stordahl. (Closes: #469924)
+ [RA] Issue errors for installing files under /var/www. This isn't
in FHS, may not be the document root, and may break local files if
it is the document root. Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #470403)
+ [RA] Don't consider files in bin directories that contain "copying"
or "license" to be extra license files.
+ [FL] Don't complain about empty directories under
/usr/share/python-support since those might be needed. Thanks,
Josselin Mouette. (Closes: #473428)
+ [RA] Ignore extra license files in examples subdirectories of
/usr/share/doc. Thanks, Daniel Jacobowitz. (Closes: #476149)
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [FL] Rename md5sum-mismatch-in-changes-file to
checksum-mismatch-in-changes-file.
* checks/nmu{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add support for +nmuX versioning for NMUs of native packages.
Patch from James Vega. (Closes: #475026)
+ [RA] Don't consider an NMU changelog entries that mention NMU with
a variation of the word "incorporate."
* checks/scripts:
+ [RA] Attempt to quash some Perl warnings.
+ [RA] *.py files in /usr/{lib,share}, /etc/init.d/skeleton, and *.ex
files do not need to be executable even if they look like scripts.
+ [RA] Add clisp, procmail, and rrdcgi, and another way interpretors
are templated in *.in files.
+ [RA] Expect unversioned dependencies on OCaml packages rather than
versioned dependencies since the version changes frequently and
unversioned dependencies are what people are already using. Thanks,
Hideki Yamane. (Closes: #476417)
+ [RA] Add inetutils-inetd and xinetd as additional update-inetd
providers. Patch from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #474077)
+ [RA] If the call to some supporting program like update-inetd is
conditional on the existence of the program, assume the maintainer
knows what they're doing and don't warn.
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [RA] Move the default ld.so search path into data. Drop obsolete
/usr/lib/libg++-dbg, /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d, and libc5 compatibility
directories in the process.
+ [RA] Allow and expect ldconfig, SONAMEs, and shlibs treatment of
libraries in multiarch directories.
* data/binaries/multiarch:
+ [RA] New file listing multiarch binary directories.
* data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
+ [RA] New file listing directories searched by ld.so.
* debian/compat:
+ [FL] Increase debhelper compat level to 5. There is really
no need anymore to support building on sarge.
* debian/control:
+ [FL] Add dependency on libdigest-sha-perl.
+ [FL] Increase debhelper dependency to >= 5
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Qualify relative --root directories so that we don't break
later. Patch from Håkon Stordahl. (Closes: #469925)
+ [CW] Add intrepid as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu.
+ [FL] Support Checksums-* fields in .changes files. Follows
the same rules as the md5sum check. Add new option --checksums
as alias for --md5sums. (Closes: #476565)
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Avoid Perl warnings when called with an uninitialized value.
+ [RA] Correct "meta package" and "meta-package" in descriptions to
"metapackage". Thanks, Frank S. Thomas. (Closes: #476681)
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [FL] Rename function get_file_md5sum to get_file_checksum and
support SHA1 and SHA256.

+ [FL] Drop linda from SEE ALSO since it is obsolete now. Suggested
by Hideki Yamane. (Closes: #474478)
+ [FL] Add new --checksums option.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Base the generation of clean report pages on the maintainer URL
rather than the full maintainer string so that maintainers with
different forms of their name won't have clean reports that
overwrite dirty ones.
+ [RA] Fix the counts in qa-list.txt, which were broken in several
respects.
+ [RA] Don't consider a maintainer's page error/warning free if there
are errors or warnings in their co-maintained packages.

+ [RA] Always add anchors to the package names even for uploaders.
* testset/copyright:
+ [FL] New testcases by Tobias Toedter. (Closes: #472665)
