Package: lintian Version: 2.109.0 Severity: wishlist libpam-krb5 4.11-1 (just now uploaded and also available from Salsa) produced the following new Lintian pedantic tags:
N: P: libpam-krb5 source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file configure line 13223 is 704 characters long (>512) N: N: The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally N: human made code line length. N: N: This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some N: source file checks. N: N: This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer N: program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs. N: N: Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate N: the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems. N: N: It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments. N: N: You may report this issue upstream. N: N: Visibility: pedantic N: Show-Always: no N: Check: cruft N: Renamed from: insane-line-length-in-source-file N: N: P: libpam-krb5 source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file m4/libtool.m4 line 6627 is 738 characters long (>512) I am reluctant to request adding special exceptions given how much (excellent!) work has been done to try to make Lintian's code flow simpler, but given the source of those two hints, I suspect a lot of packages are going to encounter them (presumably both will trigger on every package that includes a copy of the current version of libtool, which is most library packages using Automake), and they're not actionable by the maintainer or by upstream. Those files are already being deleted and recreated by dh_autoreconf, and are present because the upstream source tarball as released and signed by upstream is used as the basis for packaging. Perhaps the extra complexity of an exception for autotools files would be warranted? (configure and m4/libtool.m4 may be the only ones that trigger this; I haven't done any further research.) -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.37-7 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii diffstat 1.64-1 ii dpkg 1.20.9 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.9 ii file 1:5.39-3 ii gettext 0.21-4 ii gpg 2.2.27-2 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.40 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b7 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1+b1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.27-1 ii libconst-fast-perl 0.014-1.1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.27-1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b2 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.9 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b3 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.09-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1.1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1.1 ii libio-interactive-perl 1.023-1 ii libio-prompt-tiny-perl 0.003-1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004003-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.58-1 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.005004-2 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1.1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.118-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b7 ii libperlio-utf8-strict-perl 0.008-1+b1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.634-1 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libsort-versions-perl 1.62-1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-1+b2 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b8 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.13-1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1+b1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b3 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.012004-1 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b2 ii liburi-perl 5.08-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.83+ds-1 ii lzip 1.22-4 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.9.4-2 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libencode-perl] 5.32.1-6 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-26 ii xz-utils 5.2.5-2 lintian recommends no packages.
