Hi Micha, Thanks for your interest in improving Lintian. :) For the profile itself, I would recommend reading the Lintian User Manual 2.5[LUM-2.5]. Quite possible, the example in 2.5.2.3 and the existing profiles (in <...>/profiles/) are sufficient for you to get started. For the "-v"-part, there is already a patch in #732225 that needs to be reviewed and merged. ~Niels [LUM-2.5] http://lintian.debian.org/manual/section-2.5.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
