Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * Package name : lintian-sort Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * URL : https://devel.ringlet.net/textproc/lintian-sort/ * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: Perl Description : reproducibly sort the Lintian tool's output The lintian-sort tool reorders the messages reported by the lintian(1) Debian package analysis tool so that they are kept in the same order between successive builds. This minimizes the changes that the package maintainer sees using a file comparison tool (like diff(1)) to check if any new problems have appeared or any of the old ones have been fixed. The lintian-sort tool keeps any additional information (lines starting with "N:") together with the tags they describe; however, it takes care to put the final "N: 5 tags overridden" message (along with any follow-up descriptive lines) at the end.
