Directory for drop-in config files in rpmlint 0.85-2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



rpmlint 0.85-2 has been pushed to F-9 and Rawhide (and will be pushed to F-10 
as soon as Bodhi starts accepting F-10 updates).  I'd like to point out one 
thing about this release:

rpmlint now reads all *config files from /etc/rpmlint as config files.  This 
means that packages can now drop their own message filters etc there [0] and 
rpmlint does no need to be patched or its default config changed as often as 
before.

We'll see how this feature ends up being used, but personally I think it would 
be best to keep the number of files there small and collect filters etc in 
bigger "subsystem" chunks, such as is probably being already created for 
mingw32 (probably to be included in the ming32-filesystem package, and all 
mingw32-* would benefit).

[0] Usually, drop the *config there, and own the /etc/rpmlint directory unless 
your package already depends on rpmlint for some other reason.
