I believe that sshcommand and uwsgi should have shellcheck not run with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck, so I filed: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sshcommand/-/merge_requests/1 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031857 I'm surprised you are conflating shellcheck with the question about -Werror. I don't yet understand why you would like to skip shellcheck by setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nowerror and not by setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck? Yes, -Werror is also a kind of check but whether -Werror should be not be passed when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck is given, is a slightly different question I think.

I think that there is value to run linters at build time in a default build because (as shown by Helmut's initial mail) new version of linters may show different problems compared to the old version and those only get fixed if the build breaks. So I think it's useful to have a package FTBFS if a new version of a linter introduces a failure. But of course there is also a use-case of disabling linters if one is not doing a default build. So I think the more interesting questions are: Should there be a new DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nowerror that disables -Werror? Should DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nowerror also disable other linters? Should other linters like shellcheck be disabled with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck? Should -Werror be disabled with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck? Thanks! cheers, josch
