Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Embedded libav libraries should be checked for in the 'embedded-library' check. Reasons for this are as follow.
* libav is a heavily used multimedia library. Many multimedia related packages (apps, frameworks, etc.) use libav in one form or another. * libav sees at least 10 security related fixes each point release. * In Debian, it was already expected that no package should use an embedded copy of any of the libav libraries. Attached is a patch that will add the libav libraries into the 'embedded-libraries' lintian check. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.22-6 ii bzip2 1.0.6-1 ii diffstat 1.55-2 ii file 5.11-1 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.26 ii libc-bin 2.13-27 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.2 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.187-2 ii libipc-run-perl 0.91-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii locales 2.13-27 ii locales-all [locales] 2.13-27 ii man-db 2.6.1-2 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1.1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.14.2-9 ii unzip 6.0-6 lintian recommends no packages.

>From 9d3349195b9618aab5f7e1c67e4094400edc5392 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Mejia <amejia...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:19:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add check for embedded libav/ffmpeg libraries. It seems that libav/ffmpeg gets at least 10 security fixes every point release. A point release seems to be made once every 2 months. Given this, embedding the libav/ffmpeg libs in an app should now be an error. --- checks/binaries | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/checks/binaries b/checks/binaries index 2117659..57f103d 100644 --- a/checks/binaries +++ b/checks/binaries @@ -119,6 +119,13 @@ our %EMBEDDED_LIBRARIES = ( 'glee' => qr'Extension name exceeds 1023 characters.', 'glew' => qr'Missing GL version', 'libtheora' => qr'Xiph.Org libtheora ', + 'libavcodec' => qr'insufficient thread locking around avcodec_open/close\(\)\n', + 'libavdevice' => qr'Soundcard does not support 16 bit sample format\n', + 'libavfilter' => qr'Buffer video frames, and make them accessible to the filterchain.', + 'libavformat' => qr'Format detected only with low score of %d, misdetection possible!\n', + 'libavutil' => qr'AVOption type %d of option %s not implemented yet\n', + 'libpostproc' => qr'using npp filters 0x%X/0x%X\n', + 'libswscale' => qr'Exactly one scaler algorithm must be chosen\n', ); our $MULTIARCH_DIRS = Lintian::Data->new('binaries/multiarch-dirs', '\s+'); -- 1.7.9.5
