Subject: lintian: inconsistent reporting of affected files

Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 14:24:24 +0200

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: normal

Hi,

the way affected files are reported by linitian is inconsistent, some
tags report them with a leading './', others don't. E.g.

    shared-lib-without-dependency-information ./usr/lib/libfoo.so.1.2.3
    shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libfoo.so.1.2.3

Probably only one form should be used and the ./ prefix is not needed
IMO.

Yeah, this should be fixed, and it would simplify our code in many
places to do so.  It's a huge pain to fix it, since it requires touching
many many lines of code to make mostly but not entirely mechanical
changes, and it's likely to introduce bugs, but at some point we should
just bite the bullet and do it.

Hey

I guess I am biting the bullet now.  It turns out that with the
pre-sorting stuff, some of the checks (e.g. checks/binaries) now modify
the list when they add their "./" prefix, causing other checks (e.g.
checks/shared-libs) to fail.

I have made the following patches on the infra-513663 branch and I
intend to apply them on the master branch as well.  The patches will
remove ./ and / prefixes on file names in some of the checks.  If I
missed any checks let me know.
  I chose the "\.?/"-less prefix for two reasons; I believed most of our
checks does not use it (particularly checks/files, which is rather huge)
and secondly because Lintian::Collect tends to return the file names
without this prefix.

Thank you for doing this!  I'm in favor, and had just been holding off due
to the amount of work involved.

We will probably want to bump the minor version for this change, since it
will break a few existing overrides that will need the obvious updates.

Hey,

I found out that ocaml and menu-format also suffered from this, so I
added those.  All of it has been pushed to the infra branch (except the
version bump, I figured we should wait until we apply the changes to the
master branch)
