Bug#359059: lintian: Allow vendor/user specific checks
* Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>, 2012-10-11, 23:22:
How will overrides play with contrib checks? [I had a user who wanted
to add an override for lintian4python, though there's currently no way
to do that.]
I think adding them to the standard overrides file will "just work".
Do you have a sample lintian4python case where the override fails to
work?
Hmm. I was convinced that lintian would emit unused-override if it sees
an override for a non-existent tag[0], but apparently this is not the
case. (Bug or feature?)
[0] I have a distinct memory of seeing spurious unused-override tags in
early stage of lintian4python development. But maybe my memory is
playing tricks on me.
