Bug#737602: ITP: rpmlint -- RPM package checker

  Description : RPM package checker

rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in rpm packages.  rpmlint
can be used to test individual packages before uploading or to check
an entire distribution.  By default all applicable checks are
performed but specific checks can be performed by using command line
parameters.

rpmlint can check binary rpms (files and installed ones), source rpms,
and plain specfiles, but all checks do not apply to all argument
types.  For best check coverage, run rpmlint on source rpms instead of
plain specfiles, and installed binary rpms instead of uninstalled
binary rpm files.

The idea for rpmlint is from the lintian tool of the Debian project.

Severity: wishlist

I believe the appended patch is sufficient to add Linux/MIPS support
to openmpi (for both the mips and mipsel variants). That said, I wasn't
able to build and test it, due to some libtool-induced trouble:

- With just this patch, ./libtool gets triggered and falls over an
  undefined CDPATH variable:

RE: dpkg-dev: please reject native/non-native version when building native/non-native source packages

2014-02-04 Thread Dimitri John Ledkov
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700177

How to override this new behaviour that breaks backwards compatibility
of existing packages that (abuse) these bad version numbers?

It appears to be enforcing a "Debian Project Policy" onto packages
which are not in Debian.

Can this be reverted, or dpkg-source option provided to override this
new behaviour that is rejecting to build these?

For defaults metapackages it is often useful to have source version
match binary version which matches the version of non-native packages
that it points to.

It appears that e.g. "3.0 (quilt)" + --create-empty-orig is the
migration path for those that (abuse) bad version numbers, but that
also appears to be broken at the moment.

In my opinion, this is a serious RC bug in debian, since source
package out in the wild that one can create with dpkg-source -b . in
stable, are not recreatable with dpkg-source -b . in testing.

Enforcing Debian Policy at dpkg-source -b . level, is not a good idea,
especially when it breaks backwards compat for 3rd parties. We have
lintian, and ftp-master lintian auto-rejects to clense the archive if
so is desired.

If this change is desired, the source package version should be bumped
from 3.0 -> 3.1 and keep 3.0 as it was behaving before (and allow
building with missmatched version numbers).

Dimitri.

Patch is attached to the new bug filed about this issue
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737634
Proposed patch adds "--force-native" dpkg-source option for the "3.0
(Native)" format, which ignores enforcing native version number check.

Thanks for that.  (Sorry, please ignore my previous mail.)

I think that this behaviour needs to be the default.  Otherwise there
are packages in the archive that cannot be processed with the new
tool using the default options, which I think is a
non-backwards-compatible change.

I agree that this change should be reverted.  But the way to request
that would surely be to file a bug against dpkg-dev.

Do I understand this correctly - that it prevents a package 
cross-binutils-0.1 to generate binaries called
binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi-2.24-3
binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf-2.24-3

unless cross-binutils-0.1 is package format 1.0 rather than 3.0?

Doing the above is the right way to build packages which are
Built-Using: binutils (=2.24-3) 

Making the binutils- binary packages have 0.1 version numbers
would be unhelpful and cause issues with 3rd party installs (newer
packages with smaller version numbers).

I guess requiring this to be done as a 1.0 format package is OK within
debian, but derivatives or anyone who needs to hack around a bit would
be better off if it was a 3.0 package, and that's the format I prefer to
use, as general good practice.

So unless I'm confused the above seems like a reasonable use-case where
this new restriction is problematic.

No, the check only involves the source version. My toolchain packages still
build fine, e.g. the binutils-mingw-w64 3 source package builds the
binutils-mingw-w64 2.24-3+3 binary package without complaint from dpkg-dev.

But if I change the source version to 3-1:

dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (native)': native
package version may not have a revision

Stephen

No, you can still generate any binaries with any version numbers.

This is specifically about dpkg-source failing to build .dsc of 3.0
(quilt / native) formats if version number in the top debian/changelog
is ( native / foreign ), respectively.

The combination of "3.0 (native)" + "foreign version number" is what
my patch resolves. An equivalent patch for "3.0 (quilt)" + "native
version number" has not been done yet, but i haven't checked if this
latter case was actually possible before or ever used.

Hi Dimitri, and everybody,

I fully agree that the behaviour should not be changed without reaching
consensus, and I am very disapointed that the bug that you opened on dpkg was
tagged "wontfix".

The current practice is that there is no strict correspondance between using a
"native" dpkg source format and being "native" to Debian.  In that sense, I do
not see the point for forbidding to use non-"native" version numbers with
"non-native" dpkg formats.

The 3.0 (native) format is useful when packaging a work that is developped and
distributed in a Git repository.  Please leave us this possibility.

Cheers,

according to http://blog.tincho.org/posts/Telegram/ the privacy of this 
tool/plattform is non existing, it rather collects the users private data and 
sends it to a server. 

I believe such software should not be packaged for+in Debian as it seems to be 
today...: literally, a money-quote from this blog post (from a fellow DD): 

"The first thing the application did was to check my address book for 
contacts, without my permission or knowledge. I got greeted by being told that 
some of my contacts already have Telegram installed, and since then I keep 
getting notification that some more of my geek friends are installing it. So 
it is obvious that this company got all my records, breaking my privacy and

Before concurrent running of init.d scripts were implemented in sysv-rc,
the .sh scripts would be sourced by /etc/init.d/rc and /etc/init.d/rcS
while the non-.sh scripts would be executed.  This distinciton were
removed when sysv-rc started to run scripts in parallell, as it no
longer made sense.

Not at all. :)

  Description : multi-precision rational interval arithmetic library

GNU MPRIA is a mathematical C library for rational interval arithmetic
computations with arbitrary precision.

The basic principle of rational interval arithmetic consists in enclosing
every number by a rational interval containing it: each number is stored
as its lower and upper endpoints and these bounds are rational numbers;
their absolute difference measures the precision. The purpose is on the
right hand to obtain guaranteed results, thanks to interval computation,
and on the left hand to compute accurate results, thanks to arbitrary
precision arithmetic.

The arithmetic operations are extended for interval operands in such
a way that the exact result of the operation belongs to the computed
rational interval.

The GNU MPRIA library is built upon the GNU MP library for operating
on rational numbers.
