This also holds for the checks provided by Lintian itself. -Checks in Lintian consist of a description file (.desc) and a Perl -module implementing the actual check (.pm). The names of these checks -must consist entirely of the lower case characters ([a-z]), digits -([0-9]), underscore (_), dash (-), period (.) and forward slashes (/). +Checks in Lintian consist of a Perl module implementing the actual check +(.pm). The files names of such checks are expected to be in CamelCase. For +the check name used on the command line, case transitions are replaced with +hyphens. Perl's two colons (::) are replaced with a slash. -The check name must be a valid Perl unique module name after the -following transformations. All periods and dashes are replaced with -underscores. All forward slashes are replaced with two colons (::). - -Check names without a forward slash (e.g. "fields") and names starting -with either "lintian/" or "coll/" are reserved for the Lintian core. Vendors are recommended to use their vendor name before the first slash (e.g. "ubuntu/fields").
