Currently we get two (IMO) distinct benefits from running linters: * we find out about functional issues: - repeated definitions - unsafe constructs * We find out about cosmetic issues: - whitespace - indentation
I think we get great value from the former, and limited if any value from the second. So, I'd like to propose we do something other projects do: restrict lint to reporting on functional issues, and use an idempotent pretty printer to reformat our code automatically. We would add a post-commit hook in pqm that would reformat the changed files using the pretty printer, and we'd no longer need to spend any time thinking or worrying about formatting. What do you think? -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
