Back then we only went with the /run check and I think we will stick to that unless using /run/lock is significantly more (or less) severe a problem. However this does not seem to be the case here. :) [1] http://git.debian.org/?p=lintian/lintian.git;a=commit;h=8779248a The tests were added in d399c96f. > Note that while I updated the testsuite, I'm not sufficiently > familiar with lintian to do this properly, so it might need > some tweaking.

Nice to see a patch/check that also covers the test suite. :) ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNqpYkAAoJEAVLu599gGRCzr4QAKpRRJzzFvRjN84owRBRmWHs BAe7XvWUWLxkveKy0Wr3/sEARXI94iwAJgPR6xHdXnBQCXdKmm7VHlr13broHyau 19YuLQKRrnkNqPMaxob/ti7FRbVZ88QoFs6fpxIgP2LDo+oDsz6WQdhfxc7dCBgB C1wfM39a9QqyPMBV81vAr8rrXNMcYLRBDoT4O5zJ6YqyNjXIn3Dw8Ysp3CoRecpD uw2cR05eXDSa+v+ZunaWmyFCIfKgiqyFzBEP9foVhAzpCy19GHYNW0WfEW3CIBGX JYCZtKpLL9Vcc/vUPM0Wlce27O5t/Wtjhpzd2/UaeP39K+0SBc/vj4tUoMDi3vT/ Wcx5C+12FKD8gnob56gi2HQvRB+oU+R8dOhP/T2i5BAv83+ENgERa0WHqfrK/3vJ fDka6vnKvoLHrGBXkxDQJH3WZ+bZLZ01D1rvAGOEP7AgwNieOxXyP+fMyCqLZO68 egVwtGkRYZX03htUvXtFomGFp17ZXH4U8ldpTH25qHXpM2NwONHirsS0TD8+S8n1 YCC6EXqherGlC3S80xvp/DvE8nJEiJZ7LGs5ajKnNeDjhioJVC3fcayAARR1YGxq CyIFzx9vWwSN213b1EZVPttQINq7YuwV3gNDVhkGxn6/7ANLV0RqKmPEBMvGR8qF 9N99/5JYBGB2vrKOTG5X =Qpqx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
