Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: normal Some watch files are now broken because GitHub archive URLs now include the full ref rather than the tag name. It would be great if lintian could warn when this was the case.
See e.g. the watch file for jupyter-core: https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=jupyter-core which reports the current upstream version as refs/tags/4.7.1 -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.35.2-2 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii diffstat 1.64-1 ii dpkg 1.20.7.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.7.1 ii file 1:5.39-3 ii gettext 0.21-4 ii gpg 2.2.27-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.40 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b7 ii libclone-perl 0.45-1+b1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.26-1 ii libcpanel-json-xs-perl 4.25-1+b1 ii libdata-dpath-perl 0.58-1 ii libdata-validate-domain-perl 0.10-1.1 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.7.1 ii libemail-address-xs-perl 1.04-1+b3 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1.1 ii libhtml-html5-entities-perl 0.004-1.1 ii libipc-run3-perl 0.048-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004003-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.430-2 ii liblist-utilsby-perl 0.11-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.004004-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1.1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.118-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b7 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.59-2+b1 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.018+ds-1+b1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-1 ii libtext-levenshteinxs-perl 0.03-4+b8 ii libtext-markdown-discount-perl 0.12-1+b1 ii libtext-xslate-perl 3.5.8-1+b1 ii libtime-duration-perl 1.21-1 ii libtime-moment-perl 0.44-1+b3 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.012001-2 ii libunicode-utf8-perl 0.62-1+b2 ii liburi-perl 5.08-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2+b1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.82+repack-1+b1 ii lzip 1.22-3 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii man-db 2.9.4-2 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.32.1-3 ii t1utils 1.41-4 ii unzip 6.0-26 ii xz-utils 5.2.5-2 lintian recommends no packages.
