That will get things fixed up. ;) The only problem with that is that just about every packaging guideline has _some_ valid exceptions (that's why they're all guidelines...) and it's rather hard to build exceptions into an automatic testing system in a way which doesn't get horribly crufty in a hurry. But yes, broadly I'm in favour of this kind of thing. Mandriva does it to a limited extent (a few rpmlint checks are run on submitted packages and certain failures cause the package to be rejected) and it does stop people making really bad mistakes. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
