Subject: bad-jar-name: false positive for version numbers with a tilde

Date: Sun, 06 Dec 2020 22:59:01 +0100

Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: normal

Dear Lintian maintainers,

Java policy requires [0] that the package libXXX-java installs a jar named XXX[-extraname]-fullversion.jar into /usr/share/java, where extraname is optional and fullversion is the version of the jar file.

I suspect Lintian raises a false positive when there is a tilde in the version: I met this issue with
- libsis-base-java version 18.09~pre1+git20180928.45fbd31, of which jar is named sis-base-18.09~pre1+git20180928.45fbd31.jar;
- libpj-java version 0.0~20150107, of which jar is named pj-0.0~20150107.jar (I have overridden the warning);
- libjsr305-java version 0.1~+svn49, of which jar is named jsr305-0.1~+svn49.jar .

Thanks for considering and for all the work done on Lintian,
Pierre Gruet

Control: tag -1 pending

Hello,

Bug #976681 in lintian reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/48774d01959f1852da187d238740bb3039c7f0ac

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allow tilde in names of installed JAR archives. (Closes: #976681)

What an interesting little bug! The regular expression that validates
the names of installed JAR files is not widely used. It was incorrect.
A tilde was added to the list of acceptable characters.

The three false positives mentioned in the bug report were cured. The
tag bad-jar-name disappeared from each one:

$ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/libs/libsis-base-java/libsis-base-java_18.09\~pre1+git20180928.45fbd31+dfsg-1_all.deb
[produces no output]

$ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/libj/libjsr305-java/libjsr305-java-doc_0.1\~+svn49-10_all.deb
E: libjsr305-java-doc: malformed-override Unknown tag no-upstream-changelog in line 1

The package with the override no longer used it, and said so:

$ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/libp/libpj-java/libpj-java_0.0\~20150107+dfsg-4_all.deb
I: libpj-java: unused-override bad-jar-name usr/share/java/pj-*
P: libpj-java: repeated-path-segment pj usr/share/maven-repo/edu/rit/pj/pj/

Thanks to Pierre Gruet for bringing the matter to our attention. The
filing was so well-researched, it was a pleasure to solve!

Hi,

> Lintian raises a false positive when there is a tilde in the version

Upon reflection this bug was better solved with the follow-on commit here:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/1de785ce62cb5184ec7661b6181ef78dc019bb66

I also added the bug number as a reference to the tag bad-jar-name.

Kind regards
