--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.107.0 Please reconsider changing and extending the context of various tags. More specifically: • debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri old context: the URI new context: the URI plus " (line 2)" • typo-in-manual-page old context: file, space, old word, space, new word new context: file, space, "line ", line number, space, old word, space, new word In both cases the old context made it perfectly usable to override the specific instance as it was fully sufficient to find it. (I would not, for example, want to override typo-in-manual-page for the entire file, but the “ot” here is correct (“test file1 -ot file2”), and it moves lines with releases and my time is better spent elsewhere than on needless lintian override churn.) So, please revert this change for these two tags at least, and consider reviewing the other tags, specifically whether less context may actually be enough to identify the issue in question, as is here, where the line number, which is a more fragile identifier, is not needed. bye, //mirabilos -- Yes, I hate users and I want them to suffer. -- Marco d'Itri on gmane.linux.debian.devel.general

[1] If you are okay with it, I will close this bug for now. Hugh's idea of lists probably does not make the management of overrides easier (although it may help with their initial composition). We hope to provide an interactive override adjuster based on current Lintian results in the future.
