Package: lintian Severity: wishlist Some of us are not so good at remembering to set the upload target (unstable/experimental/stable/whatever) correctly. It would be handy if lintian could warn about this. For example (names changed):
<foo> liw: we have bar 3.0.x series in unstable and 3.2.x in experimental <foo> this week, I was working on 3.0.30 which I uploaded to unstable <foo> then today I wanted to upload a new 3.2 to experimental <foo> just before building it, I changed UNRELEASED to unstable in debian/changelog without thinking, built...and uploaded ... <liw> I guess one could have a heuristic like this: if changelog indicates a new upstream version, warn if the upload target is not experimental, but don't warn, if the changelog entry says "new upstream version uploaded to unstable" <liw> although I guess that would be best done by a lintian check <liw> possibly even enabled only if there is a debian/lintian-me-harder file in the source tree? :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
