* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- latest-debian-changelog-entry-changed-to-native
* checks/changelog{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Warn when the version of a package changes to Debian native.
Based on a patch by Michal Čihař. (Closes: #504070)
* checks/fields.desc:
+ [RA] Improve the recommendation for dependencies in debug packages
to include the case of a debug package corresponding to multiple
other packages.
* checks/files:
+ [ADB] Add tests for several more embedded PHP libraries. Patch
by Raphael Geissert.
* checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Don't complain about a missing quilt build-dependency if
the package contains a directory named debian/patches/series.
(Closes: #507761)
+ [ADB] Lower the severity of {quilt-,d}patch-missing-description from
minor to wishlist.
* checks/scripts:
+ [ADB] Enhance the test for command-with-path-in-maintainer-script to
better match executions of the command rather than the use of its name
in pattern matching expressions. (Closes: #499847)
* collection/{fileinfo,md5sums}:
+ [ADB] Use blocking filehandles to pass the list of filenames to check
to the spawned file / md5sum. By default the handles were non-blocking

* debian/{control,copyright}:
+ [ADB] Add Adam D. Barratt to Uploaders and copyright.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [ADB] Don't call lintian-info when --info is specified. Set a new
flag on the Lintian::Output module instead.

in via Read_taginfo.
* lib/Lintian/Output{.pm,/*.pm}:
+ [ADB] Flag a tag as issued when printing it.

rather than the (no longer present in description files) Type field
and handling non-overriden tags.
* lib/Lintian/Output/LetterQualifier.pm:
+ [ADB] Optionally include the description of a tag when displaying it.
* lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+ [ADB] Add a missing angle bracket to the closing "tag" tag, so that
the XML is well-formed.
* lib/Lab.pm:
+ [FL] Fix breakage of populate_with_dist() I introduced in 2.1.0.
* lib/Read_taginfo.pm:
+ [ADB] Move the work of formatting a tag's description to a separate
function so that it can be called from multiple locations.
+ [ADB] Properly export those functions which are called from other
modules.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Don't add unnecessary backslashes in the list of spelling
corrections. They're copied into the output. Thanks, Micah
Anderson. (Closes: #507331)

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.
lintian (2.0.0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- Add jaunty as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove the
EOLed edgy and feisty (LP: #292872).
