Thanks a lot!   :-)

The reason is that it takes a few days to update the data, so it's
better to make an informed decision about it and not do it for releases
that are going to be superseded soon anyway.

I updated lintian on the worker. The results will get updated over the
next few days (probably 3 to 5 days).

Progress can be checked using, for example:
udd=> select lintian_version, 
count(distinct(source,version,package,package_version,architecture)) from 
lintian_logs group by lintian_version;
 lintian_version | count
-+
 2.115.3 | 365203   <- that needs to get to 0
 2.116.2 |224
(2 rows)

I'll check again in a few days and close when the data is migrated.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that.

Well, one reason is that lintian/2.115.3 is incorrectly complaining
about [many packages], stating that they declare compatibility with a
non-existing Debian Policy version.
This obviously happens, because a new Policy version (4.6.2) has been
released after lintian/2.115.3, and all the updated packages are seen
by lintian/2.115.3 as wrong...

[many packages]:

because lintian 2.116.x is much better than 2.115.x ;)

The update to a newer lintian version on the UDD lintian worker is a
manual process. I'll do that soon, but I have some other Debian stuff
queued up that looks more important.
Any reason in particular you need the latest version?

Hi!

In the [UDD Lintian report] for my package, I read:

[...]
| The most recent lintian version known by UDD is 2.115.3
[...]

[UDD Lintian report]: 

However, there are more recent versions of lintian in both unstable
and testing:

  $ rmadison lintian | grep 'unstable\|testing'
  lintian| 2.116.1 | testing| source, all
  lintian| 2.116.2 | buildd-unstable| source, all
  lintian| 2.116.2 | unstable   | source, all

Why is UDD outdated w.r.t. the lintian version?
Shouldn't UDD be aware of the version currently in testing, or maybe
even in unstable?

What's missing?
Did I fail to understand anything?

Please make UDD use the latest lintian version from testing or
unstable, or otherwise clarify my misunderstanding.

Thanks for your time and dedication!
Bye.
