Check-Script: debdiff
Author: Richard Braakman <dark@xs4all.nl>
Abbrev: dif
Standards-Version: 3.6.1
Type: source
Unpack-Level: 1
Info: This script checks the diff to the original source tarball of a
debian package
Needs-Info: diffstat
Tag: patch-failure-file-in-diff
Type: warning
Info: If the <tt>patch</tt> utility cannot completely apply a diff,
it leaves certain files in the directory tree. Lintian found such files
in the Debian-diff for this source package. This may indicate that the
maintainer applied a patch that did not quite fit, and didn't notice.
Tag: editor-backup-file-in-diff
Type: info
Info: The Debian diff contains a file ending in <tt>~</tt> or of the form
<tt>.xxx.swp</tt>, which is normally either an Emacs or vim backup file
or a backup file created by programs such as <tt>autoheader</tt> or
<tt>debconf-updatepo</tt>. This usually causes no harm, but it's messy
and bloats the size of the Debian diff to no useful purpose.
Tag: native-package-with-dash-version
Type: warning
Info: Native packaging should only be used if a piece of software was
written specifically to be turned into a Debian package. In this case,
the version number should not contain a debian revision part.
.
Native source packages are sometimes created by accident. In most cases
the reason is the location of the original source tarball. dpkg-source
searches for this in ../package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz.
Tag: diff-contains-substvars
Type: warning
Info: Lintian found a substvars file in the Debian diff for this source
package. The debian/substvars file is usually generated and modified
dynamically by debian/rules targets, in which case it must be removed by
the clean target.
