Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi!
The new malformed-override tag introduces some unencoded < and > in the
description, making the text unreadable. This has only partially been fixed
in SVN. Attached patch fixes that description fully, plus some other
instances of unencoded < and > I could find.

Changes:
lintian (1.23.41) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "it would be lovely if there were an actual desktop file standard"
release.
.
* checks/*.desc:
+ [RA] Escape all literal angle brackets and fix unclosed and unknown
HTML tags. Based on a patch by Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #455211)
* checks/field{.desc,}:
+ [FL] Add some checks for the Homepage field:
- warn about enclosing < and >
- warn about non-absolute URLs
* checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add Actions to the KDE-specific desktop file keys. Add
Application as an acceptable Main Category even though it's not
listed in the standard; given how widely it's used, it doesn't
appear to be worth warning about right now. (Closes: #444651)
+ [RA] Add GNUstep as an acceptable Main Category, since it's used as
a non-standard category by GNUstep applications.
+ [RA] Warn about desktop files containing CRLF line endings (and then
strip the CR for later checks). The standard is explicit that each
line ends in only LF.
.
* debian/control:
+ [FL] Add liburi-perl to Depends for the Homepage checks.
+ [RA] Wrap Depends for readability.
.
* testset/runtests:
+ [RA] Check all tag descriptions for unknown or unclosed HTML tags
and for stray angle brackets.
