I was curious how many packages are already using R³ and thought, a lintian classification tag would the perfect way to figure that out. I've implemented a bunch of according tags and committed them including tests in a feature branch called "rules-requires-root-classification" as can be seen at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/commit/?h=rules-requires-root-classification I'd be happy about reviews on that branch. If there are no objections, please merge that branch into master. Some comments on this commit: * rules-requires-root-misses-namespace might not be necessary as building package with a broken R³ field already fails with an R³-supporting dpkg-dev version. Then again, building with an older dpkg-dev version might just cause a warning inmidst of the build log and hence easily overseen. * Building the lintian package with or without the above commit currently fails for me as follows: tests::rules-including-deprecated-makefiles: install: cannot change ownership of 'debian/rules-including-deprecated-makefiles/usr/share/doc/rules-including-deprecated-makefiles/buildinfo_all.gz': Operation not permitted Running only the failing test with "debian/rules runtests onlyrun=rules-including-deprecated-makefiles" after the build fails, too, with the same error message. Interestingly running "fakeroot debian/rules runtests onlyrun=rules-including-deprecated-makefiles" fails as well. The fix for this seems to be to add the following contents as t/tests/rules-including-deprecated-makefiles/debian/debian/control.in: ---8<--- Source: {$source} Priority: optional Section: {$section} Maintainer: {$author} Standards-Version: {$standards_version} Build-Depends: {$build_depends} Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets Homepage: https://lintian.debian.org/ Package: {$source} Architecture: {$architecture} Depends: $\{shlibs:Depends\}, $\{misc:Depends\} Description: {$description} This is a test package designed to exercise some feature or tag of Lintian. It is part of the Lintian test suite and may do very odd things. It should not be installed like a regular package. It may be an empty package. --->8--- So if I add that file, the test passes. Funnily, if remove that file again (e.g. with "git stash -u"), the test continues to pass until I run "debclean". Confusing. Please tell me, if I should add an according commit to fix that, too.
