Package: lintian Version: 2.1.6 Severity: wishlist Hi,
currently lintian trows a "changelog-should-mention-nmu" when I do * Non-maintainer upload with ACK from maintainer. in debian/changelog. One can workaround this with * Non-maintainer upload, ACKed by maintainer. but that's not optimal :) The relevant check is in checks/nmu on the line 54/55: $changelog_mentions_nmu = 1 if (/\bnmu\b/i or /non-maintainer upload/i) and not /(ackno|\back\b|confir|incorporat)/i; That should probably check the order of the two parts, maybe like this: if /(\bnmu\b|non-maintainer upload)/i and not /(ackno|\back\b|confir|incorporat).*(\bnmu\b|non-maintainer upload)/i; Regards Evgeni -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-x31-1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.46-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.24 Debian package development tools ii file 4.26-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libipc-run-perl 0.82-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.2-3 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
