Package: lintian Version: 2.4.3 Severity: normal (this request sounds obvious, but I couldn't find a bug about it)
Hi, According to http://upsilon.cc/~zack/stuff/dpkg-v3/, there is now basically one third of the packages using the 3.0 (quilt) format. It would be great if lintian could suggest about switching to that forwat when applicable. I'm thinking about: -> packages with no patch system, but direct changes to files outside debian/ in the diff.gz -> version 1.0 packages with a patch system This should probably be an info tag, with severity: wishlist, for now. Once it's implemented, I could track the number of packages with those "problems" in UDD. - Lucas -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-15 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.53-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.8.8 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-5 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.18.1.1-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24+b1 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libipc-run-perl 0.89-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2.1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.54-2 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii man-db 2.5.7-8 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.1-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
