Implemented in git, but not uploaded because
- I'd appreciate review from dod
- and I discovered a wrinkle:
The old /usr/share/lintian/data/standards-version/release-dates had
| 4.5.1 1605571543
| 4.5.0 1579549029
| 4.4.1 1569780709
| …
i.e. only the 3-digit "main" policy releases which are relevant for
Standards-Version.
The new /usr/share/lintian/data/debian-policy/releases.json has
sections for all releases, including minor ones, in 4-digit notation:
| {
| "author" : "Sean Whitton <[email protected]>",
| "changes" : [
| "",
| "debian-policy (4.6.0.1) unstable; urgency=medium",
| "",
| " * Fix header of upgrading checklist entry for last release
(Closes: #992414).",
| " Thanks to Scott Talbert and Drew Parsons for reporting the
problem."
| ],
| "closes" : [
| 992414.0
| ],
| "epoch" : 1629318110,
| "timestamp" : "2021-08-18T20:21:50Z",
| "version" : "4.6.0.1"
| },
and /usr/share/lintian/private/latest-policy-version also outputs
4.6.0.1.
This leads to
| Config::Model::Value::show_warnings Warning in 'source Standards-Version':
Current standards version is '4.6.0.1'. Please read
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for the
changes that may be needed on your package to upgrade it from standard version
'4.6.0' to '4.6.0.1'.
|
| Offending value: '4.6.0' (line 1263)

| Changes applied to dpkg-control configuration:

which is not we want …
Now of course we can strip off the fourth level ourselves but I'm wondering
- if /usr/share/lintian/data/debian-policy/releases.json needs to be
more precise than /usr/share/lintian/data/standards-version/release-dates
(I guess having more information there is a feature)
or
- if /usr/share/lintian/private/latest-policy-version should do the
stripping (i.e. output "4.6.0" currently) as this is the actual
relevant Standards-Version.
Alright, for now I've added the stripping as that's probably faster
than waiting for a new lintian release …
Cheers,
