I agree that rpmlint sounds like a > great place for this. I would more prefer if this was included via an extension in rpbuild, e.g. like there is a way to enable rpath checking. Also wrt. to rpmlint, how should this work in rpmlint? Should it run a rpmbuild -bp and then examine the build directory? It is afaik absolutely valid to have binaries in the tarball that is included in the srpm and remove them in %prep. Regards, Till
