Hi as just discussed with djpig here at DebConf, we (as in ftpmasters/team) want to use lintian as an automated forced qa tool, no longer a voluntary one. At least for a certain set of tags. What we basically want is - ftpmaster selects a set of tags on which we autoreject on, we write them in a file, one by line. - process-unchecked, so the first step in the archive, uses lintian - if the defined tags are found - package is rejected. - there will be a seperate override-like set, so we (as in ftpteam) can define exceptions, if a package really needs to violate such a tag - on build time lintian should fetch the file of ftpmaster tags, so it can show a new F: tag to the user, basically meaning "Fuck off, dont upload, will get rejected anyways", publically named "Ftpmaster-reject" or similar :) - lintian gets a new commandline option, like --tagfile, and only runs checks that are needed to find the tags listed in that tagfile (i jut submitted a wishlist bug for this). This is a pre-requisite to another enhancement in the archive and as such to be planned to "be implemented soon". What are your comments on this? -- bye, Joerg "If you are using an Macintosh e-mail program that is not from Microsoft, we recommend checking with that particular company.
