Changelog

lintian (2.5.72) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - debian-rules-uses-deprecated-systemd-override
      - debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature
    + Removed:
      - debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature

  * checks/binaries.pm:
    + [CL] Avoid a false positive for spelling-error-in-binary that was
      causing a FTBFS on armhf.  (Closes: #888074)
    + [CL] Drop a duplicate line in spelling-error-in-binary exceptions.
    + [CL] Move spelling-error-in-binary exceptions to a data file.
    + [CL] Support binutils 2.29.90.20180122 (vs. 2.29.1) when parsing ELF
      files for errors as the newer version modified the readelf output.
      This was causing a testsuite failure when checking the
      apparently-corrupted-elf-binary tag.  (Closes: #888456)
  * checks/cruft.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Do not emit "license-problem-php-license" when the source comes
      from pecl.php.net: "The last agreement with FTP Masters was that PHP
      license is OK when the sources some from PECL repository."
      (Closes: #810780)
    + [CL] Allow, for example, debian/missing-sources/foo.js directories to
      represent the source for foo.js. This is useful when foo.js is the
      result of concatenating multiple files.  (Closes: #836771)
  * checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Warn about packages that use about dh_systemd_enable or
      dh_systemd_start overrides whilst using debhelper compat level 11 as
      they are no longer being called.  (Closes: #887899)
    + [CL] Include the offending context and line when emitting the
      brace-expansion-in-debhelper-config-file tag.
    + [CL] Avoid false positives and remove an existing (incorrect) test
      for apparent brace expansions in config files that do not include a
      comma.  (Closes: #888304)
  * checks/fields.pm:
    + [CL] Also check xfonts-foo for font-package-not-multi-arch-foreign.
  * checks/files.desc:
    + [CL] Downgrade extra-license-file from "W" to "I".  (Closes: #740118)
  * checks/patch-systems.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Ignore files called "README" or "README.patches" when checking
      packages for patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series.
      (Closes: #888413)
    + [CL] Ignore commented-out patches in series files when checking the
      patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series tag.
    + [CL] Check "$vendor.series" (not "series.$vendor") when checking for
      the patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series tag.
  * checks/source-copyright.desc:
    + [CL] Clarify that paragraph ordering matters in the description of
      the unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright tag.  (Closes: #762261)
  * checks/watch-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Rename the debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature tag to
      debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature to avoid confusion around
      the "may check" implying that the package in question does such
      checking and we disapprove of it. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the
      suggestion.  (Closes: #735040)

  * data/fields/name_section_mappings:
    + [CL] Ensure xfonts-foo are recognised as part of the "x11" section to
      match the definition on https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/.
      (Closes: #878609)
  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [PW] Add a number of corrections.

  * debian/control:
    + [CL] docbook-xml is required to build the documentation, so drop
      "<!nocheck>" build restriction.
  * debian/copyright:
    + [CL] Add missing initials for Gergely Nagy, Sylvestre Ledru and Steve
      Langasek.  (Closes: #831729)

  * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
    + [CL] Avoid false positives in the spelling-error-in-description
      (etc.) tags where the repetition is part of an acronym expansion such
      as "ORA (ORA Recursive Acronym)".  (Closes: #883719)
