Lintian
Command: lintian -Iiv --show-overrides --color=always
Exit code: 0
N:
W: gasnet: no-manual-page [usr/bin/amudprun]
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N: a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N: own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N: support this.
N:
N: If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N: exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:
N: If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N: depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N: Lintian override.
N:
N: Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N: for details.

N:
W: gasnet: script-not-executable [usr/share/gasnet/gasnet_trace.pl]
N:
N: This file starts with the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts, but
N: it is not executable.
N:
N: There has been some discussion to allow such files in paths other than
N: /usr/bin but there was ultimately no broad support for it.
N:
N: Please refer to Bug#368792 for details.

I: gasnet source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
N:
N: This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
N: debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new
N: upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other
N: project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please
N: consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases.
N:
N: If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a
N: distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and
N: the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a
N: debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation.
N:
N: Please refer to Upstream source location: debian/watch (Section 4.11) in
N: the Debian Policy Manual and the uscan(1) manual page for details.

I: libgasnet-dev: extra-license-file [usr/share/doc/libgasnet-dev/GASNet/license.txt.gz]
N:
N: All license information should be collected in the debian/copyright file.
N: This usually makes it unnecessary for the package to install this
N: information in other places as well.
N:
N: Please refer to Copyright information (Section 12.5) in the Debian Policy
N: Manual for details.

N:
I: gasnet: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/bin/amudprun]
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:
N: Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details.

N:
I: libgasnet-dev: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
N:
N: The package ships a .html or .pdf file under /usr/share/doc/. Those files
N: are usually documentation, but no files are registered in doc-base.
N:
N: Files in folders named examples are exempt from this tag.
N:
N: Please refer to Registering Documents using doc-base (Section 9.10) in the
N: Debian Policy Manual for details.
