• Team Lintian checks and tags now part of mainline

    From Felix Lechner@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 14 05:20:02 2020
    Dear Perl Team,

    Starting with Lintian's next release, your team's checks and tags are
    part of our mainline program. Details are available here:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/3afe3b88ff8f5090335e82843bb002cb1922199a

    No more merge requests from our side. Plus, you will eventually see
    your tags on lintian.d.o!

    Kind regards
    Felix Lechner

    detail, so I took them off.]

    Yes! I was going to file an MR, but you can do it directly. Please
    wait until the next Lintian release if you need the functionality in
    the meantime.

    module-build-tiny-needs-newer-debhelper and
    arch-any-package-needs-newer-cdbs + odule-build-tiny-needs-newer-cdbs
    seem to be obsolete

    I saw those tags, and was unable to write tests for them for that
    reason. Please do not worry. They are in good company with our other
    obsolete tags and will be removed automatically when our quality
    control mechanisms get a hold of them.

    Kind regards
    Felix Lechner

    BTW, looking at the commit I noticed that both module-build-tiny-needs-newer-debhelper and
    arch-any-package-needs-newer-cdbs + odule-build-tiny-needs-newer-cdbs
    seem to be obsolete; they check for cdbs >= 0.4.122~ and debhelper >= 9.20140227~, while even oldoldstable has newer versions for both
    packages. Sorry for not checking this before.


    Cheers,
    gregor
