Up-to-date documentation for the Lintian test suite?

2022-11-26 Thread Russ Allbery
I'm trying to get ramped back up with how Lintian works these days, at least enough to be able to review and approve merge requests. When looking at: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/400 I was a bit confused by the added tests, specifically that the valid package seems

Source format 3.0 now default in Lintian test suite

2019-08-20 Thread Felix Lechner

Bug#927691: Lintian test suite 'tagextract' problem

2019-08-20 Thread Felix Lechner
Hi Chris, I did not see this bug until now. Have you seen the error message since then? Otherwise, I am inclined to close the bug. I have not had problems with that part of the test suite in a while. It has been under rapid development. Kind regards Felix Lechner

Hi Niels, Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Your input weighs heavily in Debian QA. I will address your points one by one, but will mostly disregard your comments regarding style. Some of it may be my lack of experience. Perhaps it is my walk of life. I probably dislike the passive language
