</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> But we can filter and configure it to be a little more perfect.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> In a rather autocratic fashion, as the maintainer of rpmlint ( both packages
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> and uptream ), as a packager representative, and as a apprentice dictator
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> ( since there is lots of open position in this sector since a few weeks ),
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I propose that this become the canonical source for rpmlint configuration.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> In practice, that mean that false positives will have to be added there,
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> that stuff that are noted as errors need to be set in that package, and
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> any policy changes must be made there.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So the question is &quot;how do we deal with evolution ( ie, how do we decide
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> something is now a error, or no longer one&quot;.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Traditionally, packagers didn't care at all, and so the configuration bitrotted
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> since a long time, and people didn't used it, and I just added false positives
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> when packagers notified it ( ie, almost never, except when I noticed some of 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> them ).
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I suspect that my lack of communication around that didn't help ( and so
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> people didn't knew they could ask for adding a false positive to the list
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> of error to ignore ).
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Yet, I think we can do better, so feel free to suggest any mad idea for this.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> What about the following, AFAIK those are deprecated and rpmlint shouldn't 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> complain about:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>Stumbled upon two more false positives, when using %setup_compile_flags
during %build, presumably because it also starts with %setup:

W: setup-not-quiet

W: setup-not-in-prep
