Package: lintian Version: 2.3.4 Severity: wishlist When working with packages not intended for upload to Debian but used with internal repositories to create systems based on Debian, it is still useful to run lintian over the results of dpkg-buildpackage. Such configurations have non-standard suites and codenames, targeted at our own releases and schedules, and these are included in the .changes files so that reprepro and other tools can handle the .changes files correctly upon local upload. lintian does not appear to accept an override for a bad-distribution-in-changes-file where we need to use "development" instead of "unstable". Please allow lintian to support an override in debian/source.lintian-overrides to clear this warning. Current source overrides for the package concerned: $ cat debian/source.lintian-overrides section-category-mismatch ancient-standards-version bad-distribution-in-changes-file section-area-mismatch missing-debian-source-format -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-3 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.5.6 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-10 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.53-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii man-db 2.5.7-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.1-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
