Source: mysql-5.5 Version: 5.5.20-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch
I use the following script to check a package more thoroughly for
lintian cleanliness.
#!/bin/sh
lintian --info -I -E --pedantic --color=auto $*
This generates an output approaching six hundred lines.
This bug will indicate some easy steps I have taken to cut that by a third.
This excludes spelling patchs, deep changes to debian/rules, man page fixes,
copyright or translations.
If all my proposals were accepted the changelog might look as follows:
* Numerous minor changes to improve lintian cleanliness (Closes: #?????)
* debian/control
- Cleaning up dependency clauses
- Improved short description of libmysqld-pic
- Upped debhelper dependency version to 9
- Depersonalised long description for mysql-client
- Clarified dependency on procps
- Removed references to version 4.1
- Versioned Breaks clauses for mysql-common
* debian/patches/* - refreshed and annotated patches
* debian/rules - Added dh_lintian lines so binary overrides are deployed
* debian/*.lintian-overrides - Added comments: either bug
references or place holders
- Added override for all no-upstream-changelog warnings with URL
to online changelog
