Bug#668437: lintian: Identify -dbg packages that have binaries with no debugging symbols
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: wishlist Hi! Using #652099 as an example, we have a source package that has a -dbg binary package, with files located under /usr/lib/debug/ as they should be but with one problem: there are no debugging symbols. Could lintian do a new check against the binaries in a -dbg package to see if they indeed have the proper debugging symbols? Something like doing a nm -a $file | cut -b 18 and grepping for N If no N is found then we have a file with missing symbols and a warning about this. (I don't know if nm + cut + grep is the best way to test for debugging symbols, but it seems to do the job) Thank you!

Bug#598412: lintian: More checks for debian/copyright dh_make's template
Hi Niels!
On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 10:03 PM, Niels Thykier ni...@thykier.net wrote:
Thanks for the report; I have applied changes to cover the most obvious
issues, but we currently do not check for all of them (or changed some
of them a bit).
I am really sorry that I did not explain it correctly on my bug report
(it gave the impression that I saw that copyright file exactly as I
wrote before, but I was only hiding the person name, the URL, etc)
The attached patch is near to what I was trying to explain on the
first message (please, check it as I am unsure about the last part of
it).
The patch explained is this:
It checks for Author(s): we should have only one author [thus
Author only] or multiple authors [thus Authors]; never Author(s)
It checks for years: new dh-make template creates these lines:
=
Copyright: years put author's name and email here
years likewise for another author
=
It checks for special license: new dh-make also creates License:
special license in the template
Then it checks for url:// since url is not a valid protocol (it
should be http, ftp or something else). I was thinking if maybe
another tag should be created for this (something like
copyright-has-invalid-protocol-in-url, but it is too overkill I
think)
Then it checks for these two lines (also create by dh-make):
# If you want to use GPL v2 or later for the /debian/* files use
# the following clauses, or change it to suit. Delete these two lines
Could you give a look at this possible patch, please?
Thank you very much!

Nelson

If possible, would be good if lintian could check if debian/get-orig-source (when used as a separated file) or the get-orig-source target of debian/rules is using the maximum compression level when creating the tarball. For example, I already saw a lot of get-orig-source targets doing this: tar cvzf package_1.0.orig.tar.gz package-1.0 while it would need to have GZIP=-9 exported somewhere or being called as: GZIP=-9 tar cvzf package_1.0.orig.tar.gz package-1.0 Thank you very much!

Bug#542866: lintian: Check for PS and PDF files in source package
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: wishlist Hi! Can we have a check on lintian (at informational level) that verifies if the source package has PS or PDF files, please? This check would be valid only if the package has its section as main (non-free can have files without the source code). It's annoying to get a REJECT because there is one single .ps file in the source package (and it's easy to miss and/or forget to verify these kind of files). A lintian check for this would make things easier for everybody (the uploader won't need to upload it again and FTP-masters won't need to check it again too). Thank you very much!

Isn't it really common for packages to ship both the generated PS and PDF files and the original source? If the false positive rate is high, that tends to turn people off on using Lintian. Then a test at pedantic level? Won't this test fit into this description? Pedantic tags are Lintian at its most pickiest and include checks for particular Debian packaging styles, checks that are very frequently wrong, and checks that many people disagree with. Expect false positives and Lintian tags that you don't consider useful if you use this option. Adding overrides for pedantic tags is probably not worth the effort. Thank you!

lintian not recognizing override file?
Hi people! Patrick and I are trying to create a lintian override for this message: W: xtermset source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status I have tried various combination for the override file: configure-generated-file-in-source xtermset: configure-generated-file-in-source xtermset: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status xtermset source: configure-generated-file-in-source xtermset source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status but all without success. lintian (version 3.7.3) also says: W: xtermset source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status (...) I: xtermset: unused-override configure-generated-file-in-source So it seems that is finding the override file (and it's indeed correctly installed under /usr/share/lintian/overrides/xtermset) Are we doing something wrong? Could you give us some light, please? The package can be found at: http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/packages/xtermset/xtermset_0.5.2-1.dsc (or download individual files from http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/packages/xtermset/) Thank you very much!

I was thinking in one thing and I wrote another one :-/ First, you're installing an override for the *binary* package xtermset to suppress configure-generated-file-in-source. But that's a source package tag that doesn't trigger for the binary package. Hence the I: tag about an unused override. Second, you're trying to suppress a warning in the source package rather than the binary package, which means that you need a source override. A source override must have the file name debian/source.lintian-overrides. This is documented at http://lintian.debian.org/manual/ch2.html#s2.4. Hum... now I understand.
