Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.38
Severity: normal
Hi,
It looks like lintian gives a bogus warning for dpatch-missing-description
because of the 00list index file:
% ls debian/patches
00list 10_no_lib64_on_64_bits.dpatch 11_always_smp.dpatch 12_acc_enable_radius_diameter.dpatch
% grep DP: debian/patches/*
debian/patches/10_no_lib64_on_64_bits.dpatch:## All lines beginning with `## DP:' are a description of the patch.
debian/patches/10_no_lib64_on_64_bits.dpatch:## DP: Debian uses /usr/lib even for 64bit architectures.
debian/patches/11_always_smp.dpatch:## All lines beginning with `## DP:' are a description of the patch.
debian/patches/11_always_smp.dpatch:## DP: Always build for SMP.
debian/patches/12_acc_enable_radius_diameter.dpatch:## All lines beginning with `## DP:' are a description of the patch.
debian/patches/12_acc_enable_radius_diameter.dpatch:## DP: Enable RADIUS and Diameter in the acc module.
Or am I missing something ?
JB.

The "Ubuntu and doc-base patch merge, with extra fixes" release.
.
* checks/*.desc:
+ [RA] Remove the unused Standards-Version header.
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check the latest entry of the Debian changelog and any
NEWS.Debian file for common spelling errors. (Closes: #36017)
+ [RA] If this looks like a new package (Debian revision of -1 and
only one changelog entry), warn if it doesn't close a bug. Thanks,
Margarita Manterola. (Closes: #356051)
+ [RA] Check for lines over 80 columns in the most recent entry.
Thanks, Guillem Jover. (Closes: #435963)
* checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-copyright check to here.
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Go back to not warning about "no" in boolean debconf
questions. The word is too common in normal English prose for
reasons other than assuming a particular debconf interface. Thanks,
Rafael Laboissiere. (Closes: #453177)
* checks/debian-readme{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-readme-debian check to here.
* checks/description{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-description check to here.
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Python documentation packages should still be in section doc.
Thanks, Michal Čihař. (Closes: #454688)
+ [RA] Warn about lib.*-dev packages not in section libdevel.
+ [RA] Warn about debug packages that aren't priority: extra. Thanks,
Joerg Jaspert. (Closes: #454358)
+ [RA] Ignore Original-Maintainer if the version contains ubuntu.
+ [RA] Only warn about Section for Python packages starting with
python-, not py, since py picks up too many things that aren't
Python modules.
+ [RA] Only warn about Section for Perl packages matching lib.*-perl
to avoid false positives for things like dh-make-perl. Thanks,
Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #454723)
* checks/files:
+ [RA] Warn about packages providing files in /usr/lib/debug that
aren't named -dbg. Thanks, Joerg Jaspert.
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] Add bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file, merged from the
Ubuntu patch.
+ [RA] Fix the malformed-override long description. Thanks, Stefan
Fritsch.
* checks/menus{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Substantial overhaul and expansion of the doc-base control file
checks. Patch from Robert Luberda. (Closes: #448783)
* checks/nmu:
+ [RA] No packages with ubuntu in the version number are NMUs. Merged
from the Ubuntu patch.
* checks/patch-systems:
+ [RA] Ignore blank lines in 00list and don't report them as patches
without descriptions. Thanks, Julien BLACHE. (Closes: #454730)
* checks/spelling{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Subsumed into other check scripts and lib/Spelling.pm.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] If the version number indicates an Ubuntu package, check
against a different list of allowable distributions. Merged from
the Ubuntu patch.
+ [RA] Skip check and collection *.desc files whose names start with a
period (mostly to avoid testing artifacts from editor lock files).
+ [RA] Restore previous override parsing and make the package name
optional again. Thanks, Stefan Fritsch. (Closes: #454790)
+ [RA] Check overrides for implausible tags.
.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] New module to do general spelling checks for specific
misspellings. Based on the previous checks/spelling and a patch by
Robert Luberda.
