No. That feature only came _after_ 2.114.0 against which Tobias reported the bug: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/139009d5a54225ebff4509ec37b979cb898c17fe ~/lintian/lintian → git describe 139009d5a54225ebff4509ec37b979cb898c17fe 2.114.0-32-g139009d5a So it came 32 commits _after_ the 2.114.0 release. gitk confirms this as well. > We recently introduced 'pointed hints' which allow live links on our > website to sources.d.o and soon others.

For the current version in git, I suggest using "?" or "*" to match problematic characters. E.g. for myself links2 source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file * > 512 *graphics/font/* worked while links2 source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file * > 512 [graphics/font/* bailed out with a regexp syntax error, but now at "/usr/share/perl5/Text/Glob.pm line 18", which might be actually a bug in Text::Glob which does not seem to catch unproper shell bracket wildcards. > We will likely allow globbing on the file pointer, regular expressions > on the annotation and require literal matches for the tag name.

Given that Felix quit working on Lintian, this will likely not happen unless someone steps up and continues the ideas and his work. I will only try to fix things for now. (And I'm not sure how I'll handle this, maybe mitigate it by more fitting documentation and maybe some sanity checks.)
