[Matthias Klose]

lintian (2.5.48) unstable; urgency=low

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - file-name-contains-wildcard-character
      - homepage-for-cran-package-not-canonical
      - init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base
      - maintscript-includes-maint-script-parameters
    + Removed:
      - hardening-no-stackprotector

  * checks/binaries.{desc,pm}:
    + [NT] Rewrite/embed the necessary bits from hardening-check to
      implement the default hardening-no-* checks directly in lintian.
      This is because hardening-check appears to be losing its
      "home" with the coming removal of hardening-wrapper and
      hardening-includes.  (Closes: #836756)
    + [JW] Remove the hardening-no-stackprotector tag.
    + [NT] Allow "golang-any" as an alternative to "golang-go" in
      Build-Depends for detecting golang binaries.  Thanks to
      Martín Ferrari for the report and the initial patch.
      (Closes: #839228)
  * checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [JW] Bump threshold for improbable bug number to 2000.
  * checks/control-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [JW] Add references to tags related to build profiles.
    + [JW] Relax Build-Profiles syntax check to allow (almost) any
      characters in profile names.  Thanks to Ximin Luo for the bug report.
      (Closes: #839086)
    + [JW] Add support for pkg.<srcpkg>.<anything> build profiles.
  * checks/debhelper.pm:
    + [JW] Ignore comments in debian/rules.
    + [JW] Fix parsing rule targets in lines containing multiple colons.
      Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the bug report.  (Closes: #838246)
    + [CL] Check for .maintscript files that include
      "maint-script-parameters".  (Closes: #838195)
    + [NT] Fix typo that prevented lintian from detecting uses of the
      dhmk build-system.
  * checks/fields.{desc,pm}:
    + [JW] Fix typo.
    + [JW] Add references to tags related to build profiles.
    + [JW] Add support for pkg.<srcpkg>.<anything> build profiles.
    + [JW] Demote tags for build-depends related to build profiles to
      pedantic, as the required packages are available in stable.
      Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the bug report.  (Closes: #831633)
    + [NT] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag r-bioc packages not in
      section "gnu-r".  (Closes: #839263)
    + [NT] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag non-canonical uses of
      the cran homepage in the Homepage field.  (Closes: #839553)
  * checks/files.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL, NT] Tag usages of shell wildcard characters in file names.
      (Closes: #814326)
  * checks/init.d.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL, NT]: Emit a tag for initscripts that source the
      /lib/lsb/init-functions utility functions without declaring the
      corresponding dependency on lsb-base (>= 3.0-6).
      (Closes: #838997)
  * checks/shared-libs.desc:
    + [JW] Fix typos.
  * checks/testsuite.pm:
    + [JW] Apply patch from Sean Whitton to recognise autopkgtest-pkg-elpa
      as a valid value for the Testsuite field.  (Closes: #837801)

  * collection/hardening-info:
    + [NT] Removed.

  * data/fields/build-profiles:
    + [JW] Add new profiles: nogolang, nojava, noperl, nopython, noudeb.
  * data/fields/obsolete-packages:
    + [NT] Apply patch from Otto Kekäläinen to assist with the transition
      to the "default-mysql-*" packages.  (Closes: #838603)

    + [JW] Update copyright years.
    + [CL] Add Chris Lamb.

  * helpers/coll/hardening-info-helper:

  * helpers/coll/objdump-info-helper:
    + [NT] Expose a few more bits from readelf needed to implement some
      of the hardening checks.

    + [NT] Expose a few more bits from readelf needed to implement some
      of the hardening checks.
