Package: lintian Version: 1.24.4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The attached patch adds support for "overridable" tags. Any value in the .desc files can be overriden if the lowercase name is in its corresponding Overridable field. Example: in .desc: Tag: test-tag Type: warning Severity: normal Certainty: certain Overridable: severity Info: foo bar moo in script: if ( it is annoying to have it where it is) { tag 'test-tag', "$file:$."; } elsif (not so annoying, thereby lintian shouldn't be so pedantic) { ctag 'test-tag', "$file:$.", (severity => 'minor'); } elsif (this is serious) { ctag 'test-tag', "$file:$.", (severity => 'serious'); } lintian-info isn't very easy to hack to add my idea of displaying that the severity, certainty, or experimental is the _default_ value, may give it a try tomorrow. I wanted this feature to be added before the 2.0.0 upload, but Frank did it right while I was fixing some bugs :-/. Let the fun begin.
