Package: lintian Version: 2.114.0 Severity: wishlist Please complain about files that are devhelp version 1 files, since that version is deprecated and devhelp suggests that support for it will be removed at some point.
$ devhelp
(devhelp:2215391): devhelp-WARNING **: 21:28:24.414: The file
'file:///usr/share/devhelp/books/python3.9/python3.9.devhelp.gz'
uses the Devhelp index file format version 1, which is deprecated. A
future version of Devhelp may remove the support for the format
version 1. The index file should be ported to the Devhelp index file
format version 2.
Reading the code, it appears the file name simply encodes the format
version, *.devhelp and *.devhelp.gz are version 1, while *.devhelp2 and
*.devhelp2.gz are version two.
So lintian needs to complain about files in these paths, but often the
subdirectory of the books directory is instead a symlink to elsewhere,
so lintian should *safely* follow any symlinks in the books directory:
/usr/share/devhelp/books/*/*.devhelp
/usr/share/devhelp/books/*/*.devhelp.gz
Here are the relevant parts of the code:
typedef enum {
FORMAT_VERSION_1,
/* The main change is that version 2 uses <keyword> instead of
* <function>.
*/
FORMAT_VERSION_2
} FormatVersion;
typedef struct {
...
FormatVersion version;
...
} DhParser;
...
gboolean
_dh_parser_read_file (GFile *index_file,
gchar **book_title,
gchar **book_id,
gchar **book_language,
GNode **book_tree,
GList **all_links,
GError **error)
{
DhParser *parser;
...
parser = g_new0 (DhParser, 1);
index_file_uri = g_file_get_uri (index_file);
if (g_str_has_suffix (index_file_uri, ".devhelp2")) {
parser->version = FORMAT_VERSION_2;
gz = FALSE;
} else if (g_str_has_suffix (index_file_uri, ".devhelp")) {
parser->version = FORMAT_VERSION_1;
gz = FALSE;
} else if (g_str_has_suffix (index_file_uri, ".devhelp2.gz")) {
parser->version = FORMAT_VERSION_2;
gz = TRUE;
} else {
parser->version = FORMAT_VERSION_1;
gz = TRUE;
}
...
/* At this point we know that the file exists, the
G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
* has been catched earlier. So print warning.
*/
if (parser->version == FORMAT_VERSION_1)
g_warning ("The file '%s' uses the Devhelp index file format
