Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
The description for debian-revision-not-well-formed says:
N: The debian version part (the part after the -) should consist of one
N: to three dot-separated parts: one for maintainer release, two for
N: source-NMU, three for binary NMU.
The part about the binNMU version numbers is outdated (Bug#437925
reported a similar issue for source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number and
has already been fixed in 1.23.35). Since I don't know whether a newer
"+bx" style binNMU version numbering should be supported in this check,
here I provide a patch to just drop support for older "x.x.x" style
numbering from both the regular expression and the description.
Many thanks,
-nori
