Bug#528001: Bug#566820: lintian: Warn about missing debian/source/format, advise switch to new 3.0 source formats
tag 566820 + patch
thanks
Hi,

Do you want a patch for this? If yes, should it be a new check file or
do you want it integrated in one of the existing check file?
At first glance, asking people to declare the source format explicitly
seems like a good idea. I'm more reluctant to have Lintian recommend
switching to 3.0. Based on the debian-devel discussion, I'm not sure the
idea has aged enough to make people comfortable with it. But if they
don't have any declared source format at present, I'm certainly fine with
Lintian suggesting they consider it.
I think having a new check script that checks files in debian/source would
be a good idea. I'm not sure what to call it. source-control, maybe?
That could be confused with something that tests VCS usage, though.
Ok, I went for debian-source-dir. In the process, I found other oddities
that I fixed so you really have 5 patches to apply.
I kept the pedantic tag using-old-source-format but you can comment it
if you prefer.
It might also be a good idea to have unknown-source-format when
debian/source/format contains something else than 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
(quilt), 3.0 (native), 3.0 (git), 3.0 (bzr). This one should
result in an error.
Yes, please.
Also done.
If you feel energetic, there's also #528001, and it would be nice to warn
about unrecognized files in debian/source to catch people who have
misspelled the control file name.
I added the check for unrecognized files in debian/source but the rest
I won't do (at least not now).
The list of debian/source/ files recognized is now longer... here's the
description I used:
N:
N:The source package contains a file in debian/source/ that lintian
N:doesn't know about. Currently the following files are recognized:
N:
N: * format
N: * include-binaries
N: * lintian-overrides
N: * options
N: * patch-header
N:
N:This tag is emitted in case you mistyped the name of one of the above
N:files. If that's not the case and if the file can be legitimately be
N:expected in source packages, please file a bug against lintian asking
N:for the file to be recognized.
N:
N:Severity: important, Certainty: possible

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Simplify collection/debfiles to copy the debian directory entirely
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Despite the comment in the source code, the collector has always collected
the full debian directory and several scripts now depend on this behaviour:
* patch-systems use files below debian/patches/
* po-debconf use files below debian/po/
* debian-source-dir will use files below debian/source/
The line “next if -d $file” should have been “next if -d
unpacked/debian/$file” for the script to have its intended behaviour.

This script is meant to contain all checks made on debian/source/* files.
