Changelog

lintian (2.5.67) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - debian-rules-should-not-use-DH_EXTRA_ADDONS
      - debian-watch-could-verify-download
      - invalid-date-in-debian-changelog
      - override_dh_fixperms-does-not-call-dh_fixperms

  * checks/apache2.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Include the offending filename and line number in the output of
      apache2-deprecated-auth-config and apache2-unparsable-dependency.
    + [CL] Avoid false positives in apache2-deprecated-auth-config where
      the offending lines are wrapped in suitable "IfModule" or "IfVersion"
      directives.  (Closes: #788991, #710656)
  * checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Warn about changelog entries that have incorrectly formatted
      dates.  (Closes: #793406)
  * checks/files.pm:
    + [CL] Split out python-module-has-overly-generic-name regular
      expression into a data file.
    + [CL] Don't warn about extra license files installed via Sphinx.
      Thanks, Stuart Prescott!  (Closes: #885968)
  * checks/python.pm:
    + [CL] Prevent false positives when checking for Python {2,3} packages
      that depend on Python {3,2} packages when the package being depended
      on ends with -doc. We were previously only catching the case for
      dependencies *from* packages with such names.  (Closes: #885693)
    + [CL] Also ignore -doc, -docs, -dev, -common and -tools packages for
      intra-Python variant dependency checking, python-but-no-python3, etc.
    + [CL] Drop parens in depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant
      output.
    + [CL] Refactor django-package-does-not-depend-on-django check to
      correctly check Django packages called python2-django-foo.
  * checks/rules.{desc.pm}:
    + [CL] Suggest using /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk as a solution to
      debian-rules-sets-dpkg-architecture-variable rather than simply
      replacing assignments with ?=. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the
      suggestion.
    + [CL] Include the line number when warning about instances of
      override_dh_clean targets that are missing calls to dh_clean.
    + [CL] Apply patch from Paul Tagliamonte to check for files
      that use DH_EXTRA_ADDONS. Thanks!  (Closes: #885790)
    + [CL] Update $PYTHON3X_DEPEND to prevent false positives in
      missing-python-build-dependency.  (Closes: #750537)
    + [CL] Refactor check for override_dh_clean-does-not-call-dh_clean
      tag into a loop.
    + [CL] Check for override_dh_fixperms targets that are missing calls
      to dh_fixperms.  (Closes: #885910)
  * checks/scripts.pm:
    + [CL] Include the offending/unknown shebang in the output of various
      interpreter-related tags.  (Closes: #673734)
  * checks/source-copyright.desc:
    + [CL] Also mention that we check for NOTICE.gz files when looking for
      Apache 2.0 packages that do not distribute their accompanying NOTICE
      file.
  * checks/watch-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Felix Lechner <email address hidden> to
      check for packages where an upstream signature exists but is not
      being used.  (Closes: #885621)

  * data/fields/name_section_mappings:
    + [CL] Ensure that PAM modules are placed in the "admin" section,
      additionally preventing a false positive for libpam-krb5 which was
      being caught by a "libfoo1" => "libs" entry.  (Closes: #885899)
  * data/files/python-generic-modules:
    + [CL] Add "examples".
  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [PW] Add a number of corrections.
  * data/standards-version/release-dates:
    + [CL] Correct date(1) invocation example in comment.
    + [CL] Add 4.1.3 as a known standards version.

  * debian/control:
    + [CL] Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.3.
    + [CL] Mention Debian Policy 4.1.3 in long package description.

lintian: Debian package checker

 Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
 violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
 policy as well as some checks for common errors.
 .
 It uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which it stores
 information about the packages it examines. It can keep this
 information between multiple invocations in order to avoid repeating
 expensive data-collection operations. This makes it possible to check the
 complete Debian archive for bugs, in a reasonable time.
 .
 This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian
 packages for compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer
 should check packages with this tool before uploading them to the
 archive.
 .
 This version of Lintian is calibrated for policy version 4.1.4.
