Bug#522623: lintian: false positive incorrect-libdir-in-la-file when using python-central
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.9 Severity: important When using python-central to handle Python packages potentially targeted for multiple Python versions, library files are moved to a central location and replaced with symlinks at install time. Lintian complains with the following: E: python-sugar-toolkit-0.84: incorrect-libdir-in-la-file usr/share/pyshared/sugar/_sugarext.la /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar != /usr/share/pyshared/sugar I believe that error is wrong, as python-central adds symlinks at install time which makes the .la file paths work properly at runtime - even if they are missing in the package itself. Setting severity as important, as ftpmasters reject packages based on this lintian judgement (i.e. sugar-toolkit on april 1st). - Jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.46-1produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.25 Debian package development tools ii file 5.00-1Determines file type using magic ii gettext0.17-6GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.47-1Perl extension for SHA-1/224/256/3 ii libipc-run-perl0.82-1Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.5-1 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.

lintian NMU check and teams
Hi all, I've been thinking that it might be a good idea for lintian to not emit the NMU warnings when the changelog has a Foo team upload message at the beginning. I realise this would be a fairly major change for Debian. It would make me much more comfortable doing more QA and more uploads within the Games Team if I didn't have to add myself to Uploaders for games I don't necessarily care much about. Do the lintain maintainers have any thoughts on this proposal? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Debhelper itself claims support for compat version 6 in its changelog entry for version 5.0.44, which is the reason this version was used in CDBS dependency resolving. I think this is wrong and CDBS should be fixed. There is clear documentation in the debhelper man page: Once your package uses debhelper to build, be sure to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line in debian/control. You should build-depend on a version of debhelper equal to (or greater than) the debhelper compatibility level your package uses. So if your package used compatibility level 7: Build-Depends: debhelper (= 7) 5.0.44's changelog says: * Introducing beginning of v6 mode. and 6.0.0 says: * debhelper v6 mode is finalised and is the new recommended compatibility level. What this means is that all v6 features were *not* available in 5.0.44; 5.0.44 was still being developed at that time. Therefore, if you declare compat level 6 and only have debhelper 5.0.44 installed, your package may not build or may produce broken results. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
