Changes since 5.7.2:
PLIST files are checked for non-ASCII characters. Even though pkgsrc
sets up the environment with LC_ALL=C, there are still some cases
of encoding errors. The case discussed on the tech-pkg mailing list
was lang/go112.
The checks for variable permissions ("may not be set in this file")
have been reworked completely. Many of the variable permissions had
different rules for Makefile and Makefile.common. These different
rules tried to prevent accidental overwriting of variables. Starting
in July 2018, pkglint got a check for redundant variables that is
far more accurate than the previous variable permissions. Therefore
these fine-grained permissions are no longer necessary. This removes
a few hundred wrong warnings about insufficient permissions.
The check that adds missing SHA512 hashes to distinfo files has been
fixed to work correctly in DIST_SUBDIR cases.
Improved the checks regarding tools that are used by a package but
not added to USE_TOOLS. For example, the "make" tool is always
available, as are all tools that are added to TOOLS_CREATE.
Lots of small improvements, as always.
