Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: minor
The binary /usr/bin/mtn (provided by the "monotone" package) contains a bunch of instances of the string "res.size", e.g. res.size() == static_cast<size_type>(w) database.cc:2122: I(res.size() <= 1) database.cc:3789: I(res.size() == 1) (These are debugging messages which appear in a logfile when assertions fail.) The spelling check appears to strip punctuation, so "res.size" becomes "ressize" and spelling-error-in-binary fires. May I suggest that this check might be more reliable if applied to message catalogs instead of (or in addition to) binaries? 'msgunfmt' will convert a .mo file back to the textual .po format; unfortunately there is no way to tell it to print only the (assumed English) msgids and not the translations. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.2 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.23 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.0-23 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
