Bug#471853: lintian: False positive in udeb: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: normal
I have a source package which produces a single udeb and lintian says me:
W: guest-installer source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token
debian/postinst
However the single binary package is an udeb and thus this rule shouldn't
apply:
$ cat debian/control

Bug#409099: lintian: debian/control::Depends check for missing commas
On Tue, 30 Jan 2007, Russ Allbery wrote:
An example:
debian/control
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} ${misc:Depends}
SUGGESTION
If possible, detect the missing commas in debain/control fields
like Build-Depends and Depends. That is:
* After a word or ending paren, a comma should follow
* an exception: not enforced at the end of line.
Hm, doesn't check/fields already do a syntax check here? If not, it
certainly should, but I thought it already did.
Of course, if those substitutions expand to nothing, it will miss that
because the syntax check is done on the binary package.
dpkg-gencontrol will also error out if the resulting field is not correct
however there are no check prior to substvars expansion.
Cheers,

Bug#471838: Extend testset for description checks
Tobias Toedter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: following your call for help, I decided to write a testset for some tags from private/tags-never-seen. As those tags are mostly from the description checks, I decided to create a new directory called description, I hope this approach is fine with you. Please consider applying the attached patch which adds new tests for 11 tags (the debian/changelog file in the created package is actually correct). Wow, this is great. Thank you! I'll get this into the next release. Moreover, it would be great if you could update the SVN copy of the tags-never-seen file. BTW, how do you generate that file? testset/runtests -v with some munging after the fact. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#471870: lintian: Please add additional Debian architectures
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: wishlist
While building a new version of my package jamvm I noticed this lintian
infomration line:
I: jamvm source: non-standard-arch-in-source-relation kfreebsd-amd64
[build-depends: libffi4-dev [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64]]
'kfreebsd-amd64' is a normal but unofficial Debian architecture. lintian
should in my opinion not complain about it.
I wrote the attached patch to fix this. I'm nor a lintian neither a perl
hacker.

Would lintian be a good place to test that dh_* scripts are called in a coherent order? Yes, definitely. checks/rules should be able to help with that. Another common mistake is to call dh_strip before dh_fixperms; strip fails on non-writable files, such as the default installation mode of Perl modules. A third is to call dh_shlibdeps before dh_makeshlibs. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
