We do it, more or less by hand when we have time. If you automate something, take into account that 1) lintian runs every day and/so 2) there needs to be some way to prevent filing a bug report every day. Something I was thinking about (and I havn't run it by Richard, yet) was sending out a monthly report to each maintainer of the packages they have with lintian errors... with blocks for maintainers that request not to have the report... maybe only for maintainers with "certain tags" -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <webmaster@debian.org> * * <lintian-maint@debian.org> * =========================================================================
