[Piuparts-devel] issues detected by adequate and piuparts

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

<h01ger> jwilk, actually, obsolete-conffile will still be displayed, just as 
an less interesting issue found by adequate :) 

<jwilk> h01ger: Last time I checked piuparts' own check for broken symlink was 
not very useful, because it complained about symlinks shipped by other 
packages.

<jwilk> h01ger: adequate >=0.5.3 has a work-around for dpkg bug #645849 (when 
you move a conffile between packages, dpkg incorrectly marks it as obsolete). 
You might want to work around it in piuparts, too.

<jwilk> h01ger: Isn't missing-copyright-file also checked by piuparts itself?
<h01ger> jwilk, probably, for cases where the blinking lintian error is not 
enough ;)
<h01ger> jwilk, actually no, piuparts.py doesnt detect missing copyright 
files, well, except it does via a custom shell script 
<jwilk> h01ger: *boggle*

<h01ger> oh. and i miscounted. there are 1870 issues found (in all distros 
combined)

I'm reworking my patch atm again, for:

-            boring_tags = [ 'obsolete-conffile' ]
-            ignored_tags = [ 'broken-symlink' ]
+            boring_tags = [ 'obsolete-conffile',
+                            'missing-copyright-file',
+                            'broken-symlink' ]
+            ignored_tags = [ ]

(Where $boring_tags ~= "less interesting" :-)



cheers,
	Holger
