Lintian exit status



Hi,

Please see this new note about Lintian in the upcoming Misc Developer News [1]:

Lintian exit status

Starting with Lintian version 2.77.0, the handling of exit codes is
reversed. Lintian now exits with a status of 1 for program errors and
with 2 for other conditions. The new command-line option --fail-on
determines those conditions. Please keep in mind that --fail-on
warning does not imply --fail-on error. Please specify both if you
require both. You can use a comma-separated list or use the option
multiple times. Also, there is no default setting anymore. Policy
violations no longer produce a non-zero exit status unless the option
--fail-on error is used. Thanks for using Lintian when working on your
packages!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
