Bug#460350: Default options in lintianrc
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi
I have been looking at #460350 (plus clones) and was thinking maybe we
could do something similar to dpkg-source and its
debian/source/{local-,}options files. That is, we allow options to be
listed in lintianrc (without leading "--" and only in long-form etc.)
Since lintianrc is currently used for setting variables, I suggest we
keep backwards compatibility; any line starting with "LINTIAN_" will be
read as an "old" variable and let it be translated to the relevant
option (e.g. LINTIAN_ROOT -> root).
Format changes of lintianrc aside, we will also need to refactor the
frontend. Here I propose that we delay interpretation of options (save
for stuff like --cfg); the exact idea I had in mind was to stuff all
options (with value) into a hash (GetOptions can do that for us as I
recall) and as we parse the lintianrc file, we will options from there
to the hash (as appropriate).
Any comments/ideas?
~Niels
