Package: lintian Version: 2.39.0 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
unison (2.48.4-3) was released without an important note in the NEWS file. The note was in the package source, but not included in the binary package. See bug 946041. The reason for this appears to be longstanding, see bug 429510. Perhaps lintian could warn about this? If debian/NEWS.Debian exists, remind the packager that the file should be called debian/NEWS. Not sure if debian/<package>.NEWS is allowed. There may already be a similar check for debian/[README|TODO].Debian This issue may go away with a later debhelper compatibility level but since it's been around since 2007, perhaps it's worth a lintian rule. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.11 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (990, 'oldstable'), (500, 'oldstable-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.28-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.18.25 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.25 ii file 1:5.30-1+deb9u3 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-2+deb9u1 ii gnupg [gpg] 2.1.18-8~deb9u4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.32 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.59-1+deb9u1 ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.55-1+b2 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.44-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.35-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-2+b7 ii libclone-perl 0.38-2+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.25 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libio-async-loop-epoll-perl 0.20-1~bpo9+1 ii libio-async-perl 0.71-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1+deb9u1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.53-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b1 ii libmldbm-perl 2.05-2 ii libmoo-perl 2.002005-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.100-1 ii libperl5.24 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.28-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.000005-1 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.22-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii t1utils 1.39-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2+b1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: pn libperlio-gzip-perl <none> Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 -- no debconf information
