Package: git-buildpackage-rpm
Version: 0.7.5
Priority: wishlist
An idea I have and maybe I'll get to implement it one day:
I only now realized that rpmlint is included in Debian. It would be nice
to run it after the end of each build on:
* The spec
* The source package
* Each binary package
However, as-is it would probably be useless, as you'd get many messages.
Thus it would make sense to include an extra configuration file (say,
'rpmlint') in the packaging directory. This file will be in the format
of rpmlint config file (see /etc/rpmlint/config), but would typically
have only:
from Config import *
addFilter("filter1")
addFilter("filter2")
# ...
It will be used for the option -f of rpmlint.
A configuration file that is executable and turing complete is not such
a great idea, but then again, we have the spec.
The name 'rpmlint' may collide with other, existing files. I hope they
could not be interpreted as a lintian config file.
This is intended to eventually be a feature that could be enabled by
default if rpmlint is enabled, just like the lintian support in debuild.
