I: viking: capitalization-error-in-description OpenStreetmap OpenStreetMap
N: 
N:   Lintian found a possible capitalization error in the package description.
N:   Lintian has a list of common capitalization errors, primarily of upstream
N:   projects, that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like a spelling
N:   checker does.
N:   
N:   This is a particularly picky check of capitalization in package
N:   descriptions, since they're very visible to end users, but it will have
N:   false positives for project names used in a context where they should be
N:   lowercase, such as package names or executable names.

I: viking: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry [usr/share/applications/viking.desktop]
N: 
N:   This .desktop file is either missing a Keywords entry, or it does not
N:   contain keywords above and beyond those already present in the Name or
N:   GenericName entries.
N:   
N:   The Keywords field is intended to show keywords relevant for a .desktop
N:   file.
N:   
N:   Desktop files are organized in key-value pairs and are similar to INI
N:   files.
N:   
N:   The desktop-file-validate tool in the desktop-file-utils package may be
N:   useful when checking the syntax of desktop entries.

I: viking: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/bin/viking]
N: 
N:   This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.
N:   
N:   This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
N:   (GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
N:   improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
N:   overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).
N:   
N:   If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
N:   hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
N:   
N:   The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.

N:   Copyright notices like this are, in any country that's a signatory to the

P: viking source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root [debian/control]
N: 
N:   The field Rules-Requires-Root is missing from the file debian/control.
N:   
N:   Over time, Debian has successively narrowed the steps for which elevated
N:   privileges are required. It speeds up the building of installation
N:   packages in the archive. Eventually, Debian will switch the default
N:   archive-wide behaviour to expedite the build process further.
N:   
N:   Please declare explicitly that the sources do not require root privileges.
N:   You can use the setting Rules-Requires-Root: no in the source stanza of
N:   debian/control, but please verify with diffoscope(1) that the installation
N:   packages produced are in fact identical.

N:   If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the

N:   an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
N:   and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
N:   
N:   Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
N:   them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
N:   its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
N:   suffered from this kind of attack).

N: 
N:   The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally
N:   human made code line length.
N:   
N:   This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some
N:   source file checks.
N:   
N:   This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer
N:   program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs.
N:   
N:   Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate
N:   the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems.
N:   
N:   It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments.

N:     Advocates: "Russ Allbery" <rra@debian.org>
N:     Reason: 
N:             Upstream sources using autoconf have traditionally been
N:             distributed with generated ./configure scripts as well as
N:             other third-party m4 macro files such as libtool.
N:             
N:             When paired with automake, there may also be some intermediate
N:             Makefile.in files.
N:             
N:             A lot of sources potentially contain such files, but they are
N:             not actionable by either the Debian distributor or by the
N:             upstream maintainer.
N:             
N:             As a side note, modern Debian build protocols will re-create
N:             many of those files via dh_autoreconf. They are present merely
N:             to aid in bootstrapping systems where the GNU suite may not yet
N:             be available.
