Bug#536364: RFC: Make some results non overridable
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2.1
Severity: wishlist
Quoting http://blog.technologeek.org/2009/07/09/227:
How to not use lintian overrides
Look what just got added to all the packages maintained by the
Debian Forensics team:
--- md5deep-3.4.orig/debian/source.lintian-overrides
+++ md5deep-3.4/debian/source.lintian-overrides
@@ -0,0 +1,3 @@
+# Avoid warnings if non-uploaders to uploads.
+md5deep source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
+md5deep source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number
You’re doing it wrong.
Reading this, i'm wondering if some lintian results shouldn't be made
non-overridable.
What do you think?
