I keep seeing this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. If you look closely, rpmlint output is separated into warnings (W:) and errors (E:). Just like a C compiler. IMHO we should do this: Errors MUST be fixed to pass review. (Or to pass the upcoming rpmlint-after-build test) Warnings can be ignored IF (BIG IF) there is reasonable justification. For example, the common "no documentation" warning with sub-packages such as -devel. Often all documentation goes into the main package, and there's nothing suited to go in the -devel package. And if rpmlint flags something as an error that shouldn't be, file a bug against rpmlint. The test can be revised, or downgraded to a warning. ... Is this an agreeable revision to the review guidelines?
