Package: lintian Version: 2.5.28 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it'd be nice if I could suppress specific tags globally in my ~/.lintianrc by being able to use e.g. suppress-tags or dont-check-part in there. I've got two use cases for suppressing tags globally because I run into them regularily; * Known issues in lintian, e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/732246 with rc-version-greater-than-expected-version. I don't want to use overrides here because I'd get an unused-override warning as soon as #732246 is fixed. * Disagreeing with the reasoning (e.g. debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk) and hence ignoring the tag anyways. There's a subtle difference between this and adding an override. An override usually means that it's a false positive -- which is not the case here. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (400, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.17-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20141001-3 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.19-2 ii gettext 0.19.2-2 ii hardening-includes 2.6 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.38-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.37-1+b1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.92-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.16 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.195-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1.1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.09-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.20.1-1 ii t1utils 1.37-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3+b1 ii perl 5.20.1-1 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.20.1-1 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.24.51.20141001-3 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.16 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.12-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
