Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.27ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
     - frontend/lintian: Allow warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty,
       *-proposed, *-updates, and *-backports distributions.
 .
 lintian (1.23.27) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "we haven't run this against the whole archive in a while" release
 .
   * checks/binaries{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Tag unrecognized ELF binaries as apparently corrupted rather
       than failing with a note that binutils-multiarch is required.  Some
       packages have had ELF binaries recognized by file but unreadable.
       Reported by Bill Allombert.  (Closes: #399456)
   * checks/infofiles:
     + [RA] Don't consider /usr/share/infon to be an info directory.
       Reported by Joachim Breitner.  (Closes: #399857)
   * checks/md5sums:
     + [RA] Also don't complain about missing md5sums for files in
       /var/lib/ispell as they're changed after installation.  Thanks,
       Agustin Martin.  (Closes: #401070)
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [RA] gettext 0.16's msgcmp requires --use-untranslated when checking
       for newer templates than PO files or it gives false positives for
       every package.  Thanks, Damyan Ivanov.  (Closes: #400957)
     + [RA] Don't consider directories to be stray template files even if
       named template.  Thanks, Thomas Huriaux.  (Closes: #401442)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [RA] Don't report shlib-with-non-pic-code unless we're sure that
       we're looking at a shared library.  Otherwise, we get many false
       positives on some platforms where text relocations are normal for
       binaries.  Reported by Bill Allombert.  (Closes: #399525)
 .
   * collection/file-info:
     + [RA] Unescape non-ASCII characters escaped by tar before running
       file on the resulting filename.  Otherwise, file can't find the
       file, exits with an error, and lintian aborts.  Reported by Bill
       Allombert.  (Closes: #399392)
   * collection/objdump-info:
     + [RA] Include unrecognized format errors from objdump in the output
       rather than aborting; some packages contain apparently corrupt ELF
       binaries.
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [RA] Depend on gettext 0.16 or later for --use-untranslated.
 .
   * lib/Lab.pm:
     + [RA] Preserve the old package lists when setting up a static lab so
       that the unpack programs can build a list of changed packages and
       incremental mode works.  Thanks, Bill Allmobert.  (Closes: #400342)
 .
   * unpack/list-udebpkg:
     + [RA] Handle compressed udeb Packages files.  Thanks, Bill
       Allombert.  (Closes: #400338)
 .
 lintian (1.23.26) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * checks/binaries{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Add a policy reference for unstripped-binary-or-object.
       Thanks, Bas Wijnen.  (Closes: #394419)
     + [RA] Add a special exception to the shared library dependency check
       for the dynamic loader itself.
   * checks/changelog-file.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade to a warning several errors with changelog files,
       including compression and a text version of HTML changelogs, that
       are only shoulds in Policy.  (Closes: #289723)
     + [RA] Cleaned up language and use of unbalanced single quotes in
       numerous descriptions.
   * checks/control-file{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Diagnose a control file that creates binary packages in a
       different archive category from the source package or the other
       binary packages.  Idea from Yann Dirson.  (Closes: #394720)
     + [RA] Close opened files.
     + [RA] Add info-level check for Section in the source section of the
       control file.  (Closes: #322244)
   * checks/cruft{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Tighten the timestamp check on config.{sub,guess} to look for
       files dated 2004 or newer, since that's when x86_64 was added.
       Increase to an error at the request of Ryan Murray since we already
       suppress this warning of config.{guess,sub} are modified by the
       Debian patch or if the package build-depends on autotools-dev.
       (Closes: #190897)
   * checks/debconf{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Take into account comma escaping when checking the number of
       translated choices.  Reported by Frans Pop.  (Closes: #395028)
     + [RA] Only require debconf be loaded in the postinst script if a
       config script exists.  Reported by Josselin Mouette.
     + [RA] Require pre-depends on debconf if debconf is used in the
       preinst script.  Update the long description to deprecate only
       depending on debconf and falling back on another configuration
       system.  Reported by Josselin Mouette.  (Closes: #395468)
     + [RA] Warn of debconf notes displayed with low or medium priority,
       with an exception for Policy-required device file warnings.  Based
       on a patch by Thomas Huriaux.  (Closes: #389070)
     + [RA] Close files after opening them, fixing incorrect line numbers
       when reporting problems with config scripts.
   * checks/debdiff{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for creation of ~ and .xxx.swp backup files in the Debian
       diff, but only at the info level for now since they cause no harm.
       (Closes: #332770)
   * checks/fields{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Clarify in missing-build-dependency why lintian does not take
       into account transitive build dependencies.  (Closes: #393975)
     + [RA] Avoid Perl warning when diagnosing a Python-Version of the form
       "all, >= 2.4".  Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst.  (Closes: #394104)
     + [RA] Teach the debian/rules parsing about make conditionals and
       don't require build dependencies for lines encountered inside a
       conditional (in other words, assume people using conditionals know
       what they're doing).  Fixes a false positive due to the unusual
       arch-specific build dependencies for openoffice.org, reported by
       Rene Engelhard.  (Closes: #380286)
   * checks/files{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for vim .swp files in the package.
     + [RA] Split the warning for NFS temporary files into a separate tag
       from the warning for editor backup files.
   * checks/infofiles:
     + [RA] Close opened files.
     + [RA] debhelper no longer adds a --section flag to install-info, so
       don't warn about any install-info invocation without --section.
       Instead, check each info file for INFO-DIR-SECTION and diagnose
       calling install-info without --section if any info file is missing
       this information.  (Closes: #97502, #398670)
     + [RA] Checks for the compression and suffixes of info files were not
       being run due to a mistake in specifying either /usr/info or
       /usr/share/info as an info directory.  Re-enable them.
   * checks/md5sums{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Add a tag for a missing md5sums control file, but only at info
       level, at least for now.  (Closes: #133027)
     + [RA] Do better syntax checking of the md5sums control file and
       report malformed lines as a tag rather than aborting lintian.
     + [RA] Downgrade file-missing-in-md5sums to a warning since it doesn't
       break the package or debsums and may be intentional.
   * checks/menu.desc:
     + [RA] Remove stray commas in Ref strings since the reporting code
       considers commas to be separating two different references.
   * checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Support the sux, gksu, and kdesu wrappers in menu commands as
       well as su-to-root.  (Closes: #360227)
     + [RA] Fix tag name for menu-icon-cannot-be-parsed.  Thanks, Bill
       Allombert.  (Closes: #399245)
   * checks/po-debconf{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for misnamed PO files in debian/po, which cause
       translations to be merged into the template with the wrong names and
       not found.  Based on a patch by Thomas Huriaux.  (Closes: #387360)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [RA] Calling ldconfig is also required for libraries installed in
       various subdirectories of its standard search path based on hardware
       capabilities.  Reported by Aurelien Jarno.  (Closes: #396278)
 .
   * debian/rules:
     + [RA] Exclude testset/diffs/binary.c~ from dh_clean.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Add --fail-on-warning option to exit with non-zero status if
       any warnings were found.  Thanks, Daniel Bonniot.  (Closes: #189656)
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Document --fail-on-warning.
