Bug#672292: lintian: harness errors out on master due to list being passed to require

Bug#650793: lintian: No way to suppress langpack-related package-contains-broken-symlink on Ubuntu
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: normal Part of Ubuntu's package build process involves taking all localized data for packages in our main component and separating it into separate per-language "language packages" (or "langpacks"), such as language-pack-en or language-pack-fr-base. This allows users to only install the translations that they will use. When we separate out the language data at build-time, we replace files in /usr/share/help, /usr/share/gnome/help, /usr/share/omf with symlinks to the same path in /usr/share/help-langpack, /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack, etc. These -langpack files are contained within our language pack packages, but are not directly depended on. As a result of this, when run across the Ubuntu archive, Lintian current emits almost 29,000 instances of package-contains-broken-symlink that match one of these translated paths [1]. I'm not sure what the right solution here is, but my best idea is to extend vendor profiles to support suppressing tags based on the additional intian-info field, probably with wildcard matching. Such a mechanism would also solve bug #649852.

Bug#650791: lintian: Lab does not update info when component of package changes
Source: lintian Version: 2.5.3ubuntu2 Usertags: origin-ubuntu precise Ubuntu regularly moves (both source and binary) packages between components in its repository (generally between main and universe).

Since Lintian only re-processes a package when its version number change, the cache about the package in the info/ section of a static lab will be inaccurate until the package is updated.

Bug#602249: [PATCH] Added check for maintscript-helper in preinst without dpkg Pre-Depends
tags 602249 patch
thanks
I've attached a patch which checks for use of dpkg-maintscript-helper
in preinst scripts in the same manner as existing checks for tools
like gconf-schemas. I marked it as severity pedantic for Debian, but
with a profile change for Ubuntu to make it serious (as this can
impact Ubuntu 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrades)
The check is marked as certainty: possible because the check will
match uses of maintscript-helper which are safely guarded in a
"maintscript-helper supports" conditional, but because of the impact
to Ubuntu, it seems better to have a check with false positives than
none at all.
Thanks,
- Evan

Subject: [PATCH] Added check for maintscript-helper in preinst without dpkg
Pre-Depends
dpkg in Squeeze is new enough that this is not strictly necessary,
making this pedantic in Debian. However, dpkg in Lucid does not have
dpkg-maintscript-helper, making this serious as it could break the
upgrade path.

Bug#650712: lintian: [PATCH] Respect vendor profiles when generating HTML reports
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Currently Lintian does not look at vendor profiles at all when
generating HTML reports.
This patchset changes the html_reports script to look at the default
vendor profile instead of parsing the .desc files in checks on its
own. It's currently deployed at lintian.ubuntuwire.org (for instance,
http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/data.tar.xz-member-without-dpkg-pre-depends.html
correctly shows up as Severity: serious)
I'm not sure this patch is ideal in its current form, because it means
that if a tag were suppressed in the Debian profile, it wouldn't show
up on lintian.d.o at all, and I know several people who treat
lintian.d.o as an online repository of information about Lintian tags
It's also possible that the profile should be settable from
reporting/config.
Thanks,
- Evan

Bug#650710: lintian: please check for dpkg-maintscript-helper in preinst without pre-depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2)
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: wishlist dpkg-maintscript-helper was introduced in dpkg 1.15.7.2, and that version is required to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile and rm_conffile subcommands. The dpkg-maintscript-helper manpage recommends setting Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2) in packages which use these features in the preinst. However, since Squeeze released with a newer version than that (1.15.8.11), this Pre-Depends is not strictly needed to upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy. On the other hand, Ubuntu's last LTS (10.04 or Lucid) released with dpkg 1.15.5.6, and does not include dpkg-maintscript helper, which means that the Pre-Depends is necessary on Ubuntu to ensure a safe upgrade from 10.04 to our next LTS, 12.04 (Precise) It would be helpful of Lintian could catch preinsts using dpkg-maintscript-helper without also setting the Pre-Depends. As with bug #648350, this should be severity: serious for Ubuntu, though I can't imagine a static analysis check that would have high certainty, so it will probably have to be certainty: possible.

Bug#650701: [PATCH] Check git and debian/changelog before showing dummy version number
Source: lintian
Version: 2.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Currently Lintian has a placeholder version number ("") which
gets replaced at build time. However, things like the lintian.d.o
harness run from source checkouts. Without manual cleanup, they will
keep showing the dummy number.
If the version number hasn't been substituted in, this patch checks
for a more authoritative version number, first trying git-describe,
and then the debian/changelog, and finally printing "" only
if neither of the other two pan out.

Bug#649852: lintian: No way to suppress unknown-field-in-control original-maintainer in Ubuntu
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: wishlist Lintian already suppresses complaints about the Original-Maintainer field in Ubuntu packages whose version number contains "ubuntu" (i.e. the source package in Ubuntu has been modified from Debian). However, in compliance with [1], the Ubuntu buildds also change the Maintainer field of every *binary* package during the build process. In practice, this is causing Ubuntu's Lintian instance to emit a spurious unknown-field-in-control original-maintainer on all 25,700 or so packages which Ubuntu syncs directly from Debian ([2]).

Ah, yes. I also meant to mention that, to date, we haven't found any overrides we want to put in that require wildcards, just constant string matches. - Evan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I realize I'm a bit late getting in on this, but I do have a small amount of feedback on vendor profiles having just finished (finally) setting up an Ubuntu lintian harness (http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org) We're triggering a handful of specific tags that don't apply in an Ubuntu context, but only with certain...arguments? (I'm a little shaky on the terminology) One example of this is unknown-field-in-control. Because we use a tool on our buildds to modify all binary packages (http://bit.ly/vjllQi), our binary packages all include both a Maintainer and Original-Maintainer field. Lintian already handles Original-Maintainer for packages with an Ubuntu modification, but we're currently generating unknown-field-in-control tags on the vast majority of packages in our archive (http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/unknown-field-in-control.html). If I could filter "unknown-field-in-debian-control original-maintainer", that page would be almost empty. Similarly, we've diverged from Debian in the list of Essential packages - python-minimal is essential for us, so we're generating new-essential-package. I have a couple of small other nits and patches, but most of the modifications I had to make were around templating - Evan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
