Bug#969406: lintian: Lintian reports pedantic issues despite this level is excluded in config file
Package: lintian
Version: 2.92.0
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm using the following ~/.lintianrc file successfully over several
years:
color=always
display-experimental=no
display-info=yes
pedantic=no
Since the last two lintian releases (sorry I did not checked) the
setting
pedantic=no
seems to be ignored. Lintian displays several pedantic messages. I
tried to seek some NEWS.Debian file about this whether it is an intended
change. I browsed the manpage which tells me that the XDG location
.config/lintian/lintianrc
should be prefered. I moved ~/.lintianrc to this location with no
success. The manpage says about pedantic tags
"They are normally suppressed."
so I should not even need to force the suppression.
So I think that's a bug in lintian and thus I'm reporting this here.
Thanks for lintian in general. Its a great and really helpful tool.
Kind regards
Andreas.
