+ + [RA] Check for a non-native package with a native version. Thanks,

+ * checks/debhelper:
+ + [RA] Always warn if debhelper is in use but no ${misc:Depends}

- since there are few false positives but minor is the correct
- severity.
- * checks/ocaml{,.desc}:
- + [RA] New checks for OCaml packaging. Contributed by Stéphane
- Glondu. (Closes: #528367)
- * checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:

+ debian. Thanks, Mark Brown. (Closes: #562875)
+
+ * collection/ar-info:
+ + [RA] Skip *.a files that are dangling symlinks and discard error
+ output from ar. Correctly handle file names that contain shell
+ metacharacters.
+ * collection/unpacked{,.desc}:
+ + [RG] New scripts to replace the unpack level 2.
* frontend/lintian:
- + [RA] Add options --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file to
- completely suppress the given tags.
- + [RA] Support comments and blank lines in --tags-from-file files.
- + [RA] Run the check modules in sorted order.
- + [RA] Create a global Lintian::Tags object and use it instead of
- setting variables in the Tags namespace. Move display level code
- from here to Lintian::Tags. Adjust calls for the new Lintian::Tags
- module.
- + [RA] Add option -F or --ftp-master-rejects which only checks tags
- that could result in an automatic upload reject.
- * frontend/lintian-info:
- + [RA] Add -h/--help option. Patch from gregor herrmann.
- (Closes: #558214)
-
- * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
- + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
- * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
- + [RA] print_tag() now takes an additional argument containing
- override data and expects a Lintian::Tag::Info object as the tag
- info instead of a hash.
- + [RA] Adjust for the renaming of pkg in the file information hash.
- * lib/Lintian/Output/*.pm:
- + [RA] Adjust for print_tag() and file information hash changes.

- + [RA] Fix bugs in unparse() and duplicates() that caused duplicates()
- to crash when processing duplicates between an alternative and a
- regular package. Thanks, Jonathan Yu. (Closes: #559625)
- * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
- + [RA] Add a code method that returns the tag code corresponding to
- the severity and certainty for a tag, based on get_tag_code from
- Tags.pm.
- + [RA] Add certainty, severity, and tag accessor methods.
- + [RA] Add a method saying whether a tag is experimental.

- a tag, based on the get_tag_source method from Tags.pm.
- * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
- + [RA] New module in a proper namespace replacing Tags.pm. A global
- Lintian::Tags object replaces the static variables in the Tags
- namespace, with new accessor functions, except for the tag metadata
- functions (which have moved to Lintian::Tag::Info). All handling of
- display levels is now here instead of in frontend/lintian.
- + [RA] Support suppressing a list of tags.
- + [RA] Suppress calling Lintian::Output::print_end_pkg for changes
- files, where we don't call print_start_pkg. This fixes an unmatched
- closing tag in the experimental XML output.
+ + [RG] Deprecate and replace unpack levels with the use of
+ collection scripts.
+ + [ADB] Remove an unused variable declaration.
+
* lib/Spelling.pm:
- + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
- + [RA] Ignore all-caps words of five characters or less for spelling

- Čihař. (Closes: #556456)
- + [RA] Report the original word in spelling errors rather than the
- normalized form.
- + [RG] Detect some multi-word spelling errors.
- + [RA] Remove the als to also correction. This is a word in several
- European languages, and the many hits on the archive are nearly all
- false positives.
- * lib/Tags.pm:
- + [RA] Removed in favor of Lintian::Tags.
- * lib/Util.pm:
- + [RA] Consume all output from extracting the control file of a binary
- package before closing the pipe.
+ + [ADB] Add corrections for "nam" (name) and "nams" (names).
+ + [RG] Add some more spelling errors.
+ + [RG] Uppercase every character of the correction if every
+ character of the original word is too.
+ + [RA] Superceded is an acceptable alternative spelling of superseded.
* man/lintian.1:
- + [RA] Document --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file.
- + [RA] Document format of --tags-from-file.
- + [RA] Document -F (--ftp-master-rejects).
- + [RA] Add ocaml checker script.
- + [RA] Add ar-info collection script.
- + [RA] Document the override locations in the FILES section. Thanks,
- Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #558649)

- + [RA] Mention /usr/share/lintian/data under FILES.
- + [RA] Clarify that errors are not necessarily policy violations.
- + [RA] Remove bug that Lintian doesn't handle packages with different
- binary and source versions correctly. I don't believe this is still
- an issue.
- * man/lintian-info.1:
- + [RA] Add -h (--help).
- + [RA] lintian -i no longer pipes output through lintian-info. Adjust
- the man page accordingly.
-
- * private/refresh-ftp-master-tags:
- + [RA] Script to refresh data about automatic package rejects.
-
+ + [RG] Document deprecation of unpack levels.
+ + [ADB] Add the new "unpacked" collection script to the list of such
+ scripts.
+ + [ADB] Correct the documentation of --tags-from-file to indicate that
+ the file contains tags to issue, not suppress.
+
* reporting/html_reports:
- + [RA] Never use O as the code for the tag on the per-tag page even if
- all instances in the archive are overridden. (Closes: #562630)
-
- * t/runtests:
- + [RA] Unwrap the Options field so that it can be continued.
- + [RA] Replace TESTSET in Options with the root of the test suite so
- that lintian options referring to files can be tested with files in
- the test suite directory.
- + [RA] Support a new Sort: no field in package test metadata to
- suppress sorting of lintian output, for testing output formatting.
- + [RA] Use Lintian::Command::spawn to run Lintian for package tests so
- that the lintian options may contain shell metacharacters.
- + [RA] Put all error output from lintian unsorted before the regular
- output, making it easier to diagnose errors.
- + [RA] Suppress checking the syntax of the lintian output if neither
- Test-For nor Test-Against are set and Sort: no is set.
-
- * unpack/list-{bin,src,udeb}pkg:
- + [RA] Support multiple versions of a package in the archive and
- include only the latest version in the Lintian package list.
- * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2:
- + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-deb or tar on stderr if either exit
- with non-zero status.
- * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2:
- + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-source -x on stderr if it exits with
- non-zero status. (Closes: #557717)

- -- Russ Allbery <[email protected]> Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:38:10 -0800
+ + [RA] Sort the tags so that the maintainer view will group repeated
+ instances of the same tag and display extra information in sorted
+ order. (Closes: #563126)
+ + [RA] Better handle missing information for packages in the package
+ lists and default the package area to main.
+ * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
+ + [RA] Fix the logic to optionally display the archive area of
+ additional package entries under the same source package.
+
+ * unpack/unpack-{src,bin}pkg-l2:
+ + [RG] Dropped in favour of collection/unpacked.

+ * data/files/fonts:
+ + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
+ * data/output/ftp-master-{non,}fatal:
+ + [RA] New data files listing tags that may result in an automated
+ upload reject.
+
+ * doc/lintian.sgml:
+ + [RA] Document debian/source/lintian-overrides as the new preferred
+ location for source overrides.
+
+ * debian/control:
+ + [RG] Add Raphael Geissert to Uploaders.
+ + [RA] Add ${misc:Depends} to dependencies.
+ * debian/copyright:
+ + [RG] Add Raphael Geissert to maintainers.
+
+ * frontend/lintian:
+ + [RA] Add options --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file to
+ completely suppress the given tags.
+ + [RA] Support comments and blank lines in --tags-from-file files.
+ + [RA] Run the check modules in sorted order.
+ + [RA] Create a global Lintian::Tags object and use it instead of
+ setting variables in the Tags namespace. Move display level code
+ from here to Lintian::Tags. Adjust calls for the new Lintian::Tags
+ module.
+ + [RA] Add option -F or --ftp-master-rejects which only checks tags
+ that could result in an automatic upload reject.
+ * frontend/lintian-info:
+ + [RA] Add -h/--help option. Patch from gregor herrmann.
+ (Closes: #558214)
+
+ * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+ + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
+ * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+ + [RA] print_tag() now takes an additional argument containing
+ override data and expects a Lintian::Tag::Info object as the tag
+ info instead of a hash.
+ + [RA] Adjust for the renaming of pkg in the file information hash.
+ * lib/Lintian/Output/*.pm:
+ + [RA] Adjust for print_tag() and file information hash changes.
+ * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+ + [RA] Rewrite to be more readable and fix the tags attribute for
+ overridden experimental tags.
+ * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
+ + [RA] Fix bugs in unparse() and duplicates() that caused duplicates()
+ to crash when processing duplicates between an alternative and a
+ regular package. Thanks, Jonathan Yu. (Closes: #559625)
+ * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
+ + [RA] Add a code method that returns the tag code corresponding to
+ the severity and certainty for a tag, based on get_tag_code from
+ Tags.pm.
+ + [RA] Add certainty, severity, and tag accessor methods.
+ + [RA] Add a method saying whether a tag is experimental.
+ + [RA] Record the check script corresponding to each tag and add an
+ accessor method for it.
+ + [RA] Add a sources method returning a list of sources referenced by
+ a tag, based on the get_tag_source method from Tags.pm.
+ * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+ + [RA] New module in a proper namespace replacing Tags.pm. A global
+ Lintian::Tags object replaces the static variables in the Tags
+ namespace, with new accessor functions, except for the tag metadata
+ functions (which have moved to Lintian::Tag::Info). All handling of
+ display levels is now here instead of in frontend/lintian.
+ + [RA] Support suppressing a list of tags.
+ + [RA] Suppress calling Lintian::Output::print_end_pkg for changes
+ files, where we don't call print_start_pkg. This fixes an unmatched
+ closing tag in the experimental XML output.
+ * lib/Spelling.pm:
+ + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
+ + [RA] Ignore all-caps words of five characters or less for spelling
+ corrections, since they are probably acronyms. Thanks, Michal
+ Čihař. (Closes: #556456)
+ + [RA] Report the original word in spelling errors rather than the
+ normalized form.
+ + [RG] Detect some multi-word spelling errors.
+ + [RA] Remove the als to also correction. This is a word in several
+ European languages, and the many hits on the archive are nearly all
+ false positives.
+ * lib/Tags.pm:
+ + [RA] Removed in favor of Lintian::Tags.
+ * lib/Util.pm:
+ + [RA] Consume all output from extracting the control file of a binary
+ package before closing the pipe.
+
+ * man/lintian.1:
+ + [RA] Document --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file.
+ + [RA] Document format of --tags-from-file.
+ + [RA] Document -F (--ftp-master-rejects).
+ + [RA] Add ocaml checker script.
+ + [RA] Add ar-info collection script.
+ + [RA] Document the override locations in the FILES section. Thanks,
+ Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #558649)
+ + [RA] Remove obsolete spelling checker script.
+ + [RA] Mention /usr/share/lintian/data under FILES.
+ + [RA] Clarify that errors are not necessarily policy violations.
+ + [RA] Remove bug that Lintian doesn't handle packages with different
+ binary and source versions correctly. I don't believe this is still
+ an issue.
+ * man/lintian-info.1:
+ + [RA] Add -h (--help).
+ + [RA] lintian -i no longer pipes output through lintian-info. Adjust
+ the man page accordingly.
+
+ * private/refresh-ftp-master-tags:
+ + [RA] Script to refresh data about automatic package rejects.
+
+ * reporting/html_reports:
+ + [RA] Never use O as the code for the tag on the per-tag page even if
+ all instances in the archive are overridden. (Closes: #562630)
+
+ * t/runtests:
+ + [RA] Unwrap the Options field so that it can be continued.
+ + [RA] Replace TESTSET in Options with the root of the test suite so
+ that lintian options referring to files can be tested with files in
+ the test suite directory.
+ + [RA] Support a new Sort: no field in package test metadata to
+ suppress sorting of lintian output, for testing output formatting.
+ + [RA] Use Lintian::Command::spawn to run Lintian for package tests so
+ that the lintian options may contain shell metacharacters.
+ + [RA] Put all error output from lintian unsorted before the regular
+ output, making it easier to diagnose errors.
+ + [RA] Suppress checking the syntax of the lintian output if neither
+ Test-For nor Test-Against are set and Sort: no is set.
+
+ * unpack/list-{bin,src,udeb}pkg:
+ + [RA] Support multiple versions of a package in the archive and
+ include only the latest version in the Lintian package list.
+ * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2:
+ + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-deb or tar on stderr if either exit
+ with non-zero status.
+ * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2:
+ + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-source -x on stderr if it exits with
+ non-zero status. (Closes: #557717)
