Caveat 1: All Debian based profiles are currently auto-generated and said auto-generation is not included in the repository. To generate them, simply run: $ debian/rules profiles It generates a profile based on all the checks in checks/ - If you add a new check file, you will need to re-run said target - but it is not needed if you just add a new tag to an existing check. The ubuntu profile is just a quick sample; if there are any Lintian-savvy Ubuntu people, feel free to send me a patch for this one. Caveat 2: The solution and the implementation disagree in some cases - most likely because I have not implemented the solution properly yet. >>> [Needed] >>> * No code changes: >>> - It must be possible to alter whether Lintian emits a tag >>> without modifying code. >>> * Re-usable: >>> - Most profiles will likely be based on the core profile.

As far as I can tell, all of this works as it should. If you experience otherwise, do let me know. Exception: """ In the absence of the fields Extends, Enable-Tag, Disable-Tag, Enable-Check and Disable-Check, the profile shall simply include all checks/tags known to it.

It is possible this order will change later. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNs/JxAAoJEAVLu599gGRCCtEP/1JBsGmLWEqVQN8RBArLafUV i+LCAUULM0vi6xzoHtVMpzqE+VRxinM7+3vEBJz2napP9EvJhdSl2iJO4XFXtA/W gHhAYejZ0tZULfaCufcXbWy6Om9ZZBCJzZeBBKukSIonrE1RKQla1FLQR4NW7XzA HGxep2sOXZkv0crleBAqnA1FyQouqnItIcFtUOjcFMCUaVgQso+nM7WF7EsspEIv Quzzw5x6hqKkX0eitusAFDs+I2CiLyixR7uRTCEQbgDiJpjTQZkYTLdkoF6SMUbc nnIbAvl9WIh5qC9CdI7ppCSgxtKqJtJtkKe1R0Ea3qHW4syC03IYzTlZhEico2Cv 1+uk7sGHe7NC4Xs3rqsWfbjc9OjsHdLoVfE+3Dac66ihXOpytiMp9YU3uyzZGRQf siY3IheS4oa/Lhxuz3oRK7r3J2Xfo2ATaiFBBae/cxY5qM+BBW8MOrieOX0oQ2eu X5zffQtSDOO2el6kdM9rL5yjSRSz55WRJ4PANm/axe9YyIA/UbIDe3/Pjwh9Jsgu B9XSS0iHv970+eNvs5PWBsxRdGp03sEHvqsB042HIkCVGLzgNnJOhrylnniXxEQf 0p88HV/340JcDUo6XC59HhtSwbh+EqpP4HSzmWR+9lUhCVZWkwNO+Az+zJnlmolj gIRcuyYprisZJjKUdf5Y =5nIZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
