lintian (2.5.4) unstable; urgency=medium
The "perl5.14 (+ misc) fix"-upload. Medium as perl 5.14
deprecation warnings tend to make Lintian output unreadable.

+ [JW] Allow binaries to use "/usr/lib/$srcpkg/" in RPATHs.
(Closes: #642092)
+ [JW] Fixed a false-positive when using the multiarch dir in
RPATH. (Closes: #646817)
* checks/changes-file{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added the "precise" to the list of Ubuntu distributions.
Thanks to Loïc Minier for the patch.
+ [NT] Accept release codename in the changes file. Thanks to
Julien Cristau for the report. (Closes: #637540)
* checks/circular-deps{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Renamed to group-checks{,.desc}.
* checks/group-checks{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added check for depending on lower priority packages built
from the same source. Only strong dependencies are considered.
Thanks to Neil Williams for the report. (Closes: #387166)

+ [RG,NT] Clarified that the PHP 2.x license is only for the PHP
interpreter and PEAR modules cannot use it. Thanks to
Thomas Goirand for the report. (Closes: #616436)
* checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added check for using .xz compression in deb files without
versioned Pre-Depends on dpkg. The severity is pedantic for
Debian and serious for Ubuntu. Thanks to Aaron M. Ucko for the

triggered by X11 metapackages. (Closes: #642125)
+ [NT] Ensure transitional packages are in section oldlibs and
priority extra. Thanks to Josh Triplett for the report.

+ [JW] Improve "linked against libvga.so" test. This avoid
setuid-binary false-positives. (Closes: #642038)

+ [JW] Fixed duplicate tags about missing dependency for
dh_pycentral/dh_pysupport. (Closes: #633507)
* checks/scripts:
+ [RA] Exclude files ending in *.erb from several shell script
checks. ERB is a Ruby templating language, so these will probably
have mixed shell and Ruby code and may not be executable. Thanks,
Laurent Arnoud.
+ [NT] Corrected perl4 check, thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
report and the patch. (Closes: #648532)

+ [NT] Refreshed.
* data/debhelper/alt-dh_commands:
+ [NT] Renamed to dh_commands-manual.

+ [NT] Added dpatch per request of the maintainer. Thanks to
Gergely Nagy for the report. (Closes: #646420)

+ [NT] Refreshed against sid. Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the
report. (Closes: #646604)
* data/rules/deprecated-makefiles:
+ [JW] Added dbs makefiles, since dbs maintainer deprecated the
package in 0.47. (Closes: #646126)
* data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
+ [NT] Add multi-arch dirs for hurd-i386. Thanks to Julien
Cristau for noticing that they were missing.
* data/spelling/corrections:
+ [NT] Added a correction for "propagate" and "separate", thanks
to Guillem Jover for the suggestions.
(Closes: #644793, #646529)
+ [JW] Added a number of corrections. (Closes: #645393)
* debian/control:
+ [CW] Mark lintian Multi-Arch: foreign (there does exist one
Architecture: any package that Build-Depends: lintian, so this helps
multiarch cross-building slightly).
* debian/lintian.install:
+ [NT] Removed unpack which was removed.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [NT] Collections explicitly requested (by -U) are no longer
auto-removed. Previously the only way to prevent auto-removal
was to use --keep-lab.
+ [NT] Removed all archive-wide testing code. This has been moved
into reporting/harness. This deprecates a lot options and config
variables (--arch, --archivedir, --area, --dist, --section and
LINTIAN_{ARCH,ARCHIVEDIR,AREA,DIST}).
+ [NT] Support new lab query format, replacing the old "package
name"-based search.
* lib/Lab{,/Package}.pm:
+ [NT] Removed, replaced by Lintian::Package{,::Entry}.
* lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+ [JW] Merged with common_data.pm.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Group.pm:
+ [NT] New file - Collect like API for group data.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [JW] Fixed call to binary_field in binary_relation.
(Closes: #641609)
* lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
+ [NT] Fixed a file descriptor leak.
* lib/Lintian/Lab{,/Entry,/Manifest,/ManifestDiff}.pm:
+ [NT] New files. Replaces the Read_pkglists, Lab and
Lab::Package modules.
* lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+ [JW,NT] Correctly handle $TMPDIR not being an absolute path.
(Closes: #642113)
+ [NT] New lab layout style resembling the "pool" dirs of the
Debian mirrors. This allows more than 32 000 packages of a
given type in the laboratory. It also allows multiple
versions/architectures of the same package in static labs.
A feature previously only enabled in temporary labs. The new
layout is incompatible with the old format. (Closes: #641468)
* lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+ [NT] Minor refactoring to simplify creation of the FullEWI
module.
* lib/Lintian/Output/FullEWI.pm:
+ [NT] New experimental output. More machine-friendly version
of the normal Lintian output format.
* lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+ [NT] Use self-closing tags (if possible) and do not write
attributes with an empty value.
* lib/Lintian/Processable.pm:
+ [NT] Reduced to an abstract class. The "old" implementation
has been put into Lintian::Processable::Package.
* lib/Lintian/Processable/Package.pm:
+ [NT] New file.
+ [NT] Changed the "name" of changes files. It is now equal to
the name of the source package. Previously it was the filename
(without extension and without the dir part).
* lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
+ [NT] Removed - replaced by Lintian::Lab::Manifest.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [NT] Stricten the parser to not accept a field name with a ":".
This could cause the parser to eat the first part of the value,
if it contained a colon and there was no space before the value.
Thanks to Pino Toscano for reporting the issue.
+ [JW] Explicitly check that files are not encoded using ISO-2022,
when they should be encoded with UTF-8. (Closes: #643009)
+ [JW] Use "paragraph" and "field" rather than "section" and "tag"
when referring to a Debian control file.
* man/lintian.pod.in:
+ [NT] Fixed a typo, thanks to Evgeni Golov for spotting it,
* private/generate-lintian-pod:
+ [NT] Document which collections are auto-removed by default in
static labs.
* profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
+ [NT] Disable no-upstream-changelog and lzma-deb-archive for
Ubuntu. Thanks to Evan Broder for the report and patch.
(Closes: #648117)
* reporting/*:
+ [NT] Recognise and display pedantic tags.
+ [JW] Only emit "plus X overrides" if there any overrides.
* reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
+ [NT] Do not accept LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL nor LINTIAN_SECTION
anymore. The lintian frontend lost support for these in
2.5.0~rc3.
* reporting/harness:
+ [NT] Refactored to handle the archive-wide checking directly.
+ [NT] Use the new FullEWI output format for the archive-wide
logs.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [NT] Ensure source tags appear before binary tags.
(Closes: #580945)
+ [NT] Supports the FullEWI output format.
* t/*:
+ [NT] Skip some tests broken by a recent dpkg upload.
(Closes: #643205)
* unpack/*:
+ [NT] Removed, no longer used.
