Bug#534580: lintian: false positive in trap bashism check
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: normal Hi, lintian complains about bashisms in some X maintainer scripts, because they include the following code: trap message;\ message \Received signal. Aborting $THIS_PACKAGE package $THIS_SCRIPT script.\;\ message;\ exit 1 HUP INT QUIT TERM This seems to be due to the trap check: $LEADIN . qr'trap\s+[\']?.*[\']?\s+.*[1-9]', # trap with signal numbers Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Russ Allbery r...@debian.org writes: Ah, yes. This is where regexes try a bit too hard to make a match. trap\s+(?:([\\'])(?:[^\'\\]|\\.)*\1\s+)?[\\']*[1-9] will work a bit better, I think, although I haven't run that through a test suite. Interestingly, though, I can't duplicate this. That regex does not appear to match that string so far as I can tell from some experiments. Maybe I messed something up I did. The current regex does match that string, and my modified version doesn't. The only thing I'm not sure of is if it matches the other things it's supposed to. -- 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.

Yeah, they should be moved into the raw Debian package test area to bypass dpkg. -- 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.

Bug#534640: lintian should check that info files contains section and directory entry
Tag: info-document-missing-dir-section Severity: normal Certainty: certain Info: This info document has no INFO-DIR-SECTION line and no tt--section/tt option is passed to ttinstall-info/tt in the package ttpostinst/tt maintainer script. ttinstall-info/tt will be unable to determine the section into which this info page should be put. The best solution is to add a line like: . @dircategory Development . to the texinfo source so that the generated info file will contain a section. See /usr/share/info/dir for sections to choose from. . Another alternative that doesn't require modifying the source is to explicitly pass a tt--section/tt option to ttinstall-info/tt in the ttpostinst/tt maintainer script, although in this case you will need to write the ttpostinst/tt yourself and not use tools like debhelper to do it for you. Ref: policy 12.2 It's been there for quite a while. It needs to be modified so that passing --section to install-info isn't enough, but is there something more that it needs besides that, or some other problem with the existing Lintian check? I assume we should drop the requirement that the maintainer scripts call install-info and indeed warn if they do, noting that the calls can be removed. -- 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.

Bug#534640: lintian should check that info files contains section and directory entry
On Fri, 26 Jun 2009, Raphaël Hertzog wrote: Since the upload of install-info to sid, packages installing info documentation should no more call install-info in their postinst. Lintian could check this, it's probably best to add this check only once debhelper has been fixed (see #534639). You should however explain that info-files must have the required entries (INFO-DIR-SECTION, START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY / END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY) so that they can be registered in the info directory file automatically. Bugs have been filed about this, example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528864 This is the most important check to add in lintian. The long description should give some hints on how this can be fixed (like in the bugreport).
