OK, that's working, thanks Russ.
Current test code:

Hmmm, can't find any docs on a "global lintian override file" - where
would that live and how would it cope with unknown/unbuilt packages?
So far, I'm working with:
Tags::add_override ("source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number");
Tags::add_override ("changelog-should-mention-nmu");
Tags::add_override ("binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath");
tag "binary-or-shlib-omits-rpath", "$file $RPATH{$file}";
and others
Those all work fine.
However, I'm finding it impossible to override the manpage warnings
without removing all the manpages checks with -X :
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("apt", "binary-without-manpage apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("apt", "binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("apt", "binary-without-manpage ./usr/bin/apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage apt-cache");
Still, I get:
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cdrom
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-config
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-get
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-key
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-mark
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage apt-cache
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache
I don't actually need the manpages checks but I would like to not have
to alias lintian to lintian -X manpages.
Is there a way of implementing '-X' within the check scripts? (It would
save time if I could drop entire scripts like manpages and replace with
a simple check that /usr/share/man/ is empty). (Have I got the overrides
wrong? I've tried various formats.)
W: apt: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage apt-cache
I: apt: unused-override binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage *");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage apt-cache");
Tags::add_override ("binary-without-manpage usr/bin/apt-cache");
You can get an example .deb from the Emdebian repository:
http://www.emdebian.org/packages/pool/main/a/apt/
$ lintian -q -C emdebian apt_0.7.9em2_arm.deb
E: apt: unsupported-interpreter-in-binary usr/bin/apt-mark
E: apt: unsupported-interpreter-in-binary usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/setup
(These are errors in the current Emdebian package which I need to fix -
a failure with 'lintian -q -C emdebian' will cause a FTBFS in Emdebian
once this support is implemented in emdebian-tools 1.0.0 - that call
could easily be 'lintian -q -X manpages -C emdebian' but I'd like to
know if I've done something wrong in my manpage overrides.)
$ lintian -I apt_0.7.9em2_arm.deb

Thanks, I'll work through the current package set and build up a list of
lintian messages and overrides.
