Package: lintian Version: 2.9.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
I'm working on generating historical stats about Debian packages, using lintian to extract information from packages. One thing I'd like to track is the debhelper compatibility level in use by packages. An example graph is https://blop.info/pub/debhelper-compat-stacked.png Could lintian emit a classification tag that allows me to track that? Here is a patch that works for me. - Lucas diff --git a/checks/debhelper.desc b/checks/debhelper.desc index 6cb850637..9ace71e1d 100644 --- a/checks/debhelper.desc +++ b/checks/debhelper.desc @@ -388,6 +388,11 @@ Certainty: certain Info: This package is using the <tt>debhelper-compat</tt> virtual package as a build-dependency. +Tag: debhelper-compat-level +Severity: classification +Certainty: certain +Info: This is the debhelper compat level for the package. + Tag: typo-in-debhelper-override-target Severity: normal Certainty: possible diff --git a/checks/debhelper.pm b/checks/debhelper.pm index 289282ab4..1bdeba30e 100644 --- a/checks/debhelper.pm +++ b/checks/debhelper.pm @@ -348,6 +348,10 @@ sub run { $compatnan = 1; } + if (defined($level)) { + tag 'debhelper-compat-level', $level; + } + $level ||= 1; if ($level < $compat_level->value('deprecated')) { tag 'package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version', $level; -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armhf Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.28-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.18.25 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.25 ii file 1:5.30-1+deb9u2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-2 ii gnupg [gpg] 2.1.18-8~deb9u4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.32 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.59-1+deb9u1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.44-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.35-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-2+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.25 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libio-async-perl 0.71-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1+deb9u1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.100-1 ii libperl5.24 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.28-1 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.22-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii t1utils 1.39-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2+b1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b2 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 -- no debconf information
