--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: wishlist Thanks to Ana (Cc-ed) I've discovered only today that for years I've been uploading *.changes files in which Maintainer and Changed-By fields where both set to me _erroneously_, in the sense that I was not the Maintainer for those packages (either due to team maintenance or to NMU activity). The reason of the mistake, not terribly relevant, was a particular setting in pbuilder/cowbuilder (the $DEBEMAIL variable) which, when set, invokes dpkg-genchanges setting explicitly the maintainer, hence overriding the package default. That being easily fixable, I believe that lintian can easily shield against this error pattern by checking whether there is a mismatch between the Maintainer field in debian/control and the very same field in the *.changes file being lintian-checked (if given, which is usually the case). Can you please consider adding such a test? /me wonders how many people have set that variable, hence providing not terribly telling *.changes files -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.91.20090910-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.4 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-8 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 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 2.5.6-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
