There might be some; we could add it experimental at first and see how it goes. > However your idea of looking on the remote tree sounds pretty good, > except that it might be too heavy :-) Yeah, I was concerned that you meant that, since Lintian doesn't require that you run it from a system on the network. That would need a different tool. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
