Bug#876434: [new check] detect outdated use of dpkg-parsechangelog | grep
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.53 Priority: wishlist Dear maintainer, Many packages contain invocations such as: DEB_VERSION=$(shell dpkg-changelog | grep '^Version' | cut ...) https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+shell+dpkg-parsechangelog Since dpkg 1.17 (available in "oldstable" as of today), this can better be written as: DEB_VERSION=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion) Or: include /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk; $(DEB_VERSION) Please inform people that they should prefer the new syntax. Cheers, Chris.
