[Mageia-dev] [Fwd: [Mageia-sysadm] rpmlint check on upload, attempt 2]

Wed Jul 20 15:19:36 CEST 2011

Hi,
+
+(resent from mageia-sysadm, it was mean for -dev )
+
+This morning, I deployed a youri hook to unpack rpmlint configuration on
+valstar when rpmlint-mageia-policy is uploaded, thus allowing to sync
+the list of exceptions from the package ( which is the canonical one )
+with the build system. So while this may seems uninteresting for the
+vast majority of packagers and cauldron testers ( and it is ), this has
+some practical effects.
+
+The last attempt ( for unexpanded-macro ) showed some false positives,
+and we were not able to properly keep a exception list. Now, with this,
+we can.
+
+So that mean we can reenable the check 'unexpanded-macro' and others.
+
+While I am quite sure enabling it now will trigger a much faster
+response rate ( because people will not have the choice ), I will enable
+them in a few days, to let the time to packagers to send exceptions to
+be added to the packages. 
+
+So if, when testing packages before upload, you see a error that would
+block upload, and that is a false positive, just send a email and I will
+add it ( or just add it to the rpmlint-mageia-policy package, and submit
+it )
