There probably are some, but you also have false positives here from places where variables are used to form the tag names. For example, all of these do exist: > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-name-missing' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-address-missing' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-address-malformed' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-not-full-name' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-address-looks-weird' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'maintainer-address-is-on-localhost' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-name-missing' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-address-missing' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-address-malformed' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-not-full-name' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-address-looks-weird' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc > # Unimplemented tag 'uploader-address-is-on-localhost' detected > # at /home/raphael/Deb/lintian/checks/fields.desc I suspect there are a lot of others in that camp from this scan. Maybe do something to turn variables in tag calls into regexes similar to what you did with diversions? -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
