[opensuse-buildservice] rpmlint and 11.0
Hi, I understand, why rpmlint is a good thing. But my important packages stopped to be built with the release of 11.0. More precisely: They get built, but they get rejected after successful builds for too many rpmlint warnings/errors. My questions: a) Is there a way for at least temporarily removing rpmlint checks? b) My packages built fine all the time in Factory. I thought everything was fine for a quick release afer 11.0 came out. Where should I have found out _beforehand_, that a policy change regarding rpmlint will happen at the time of release 11.0 . My, perhaps naive, idea was, that new things get tested in Factory, exactly to be ready at release time. How should I have known? That's a serious question. I don't want to be bitten again in the future. Where was that information distributed? Even if I search on opensuse for rpmlint now, I only find references how to willingly start rpmlint, no notice of forced rpmlint checks starting with 11.0.

My questions:
a) Is there a way for at least temporarily removing rpmlint checks?
yes. but those rpmlint warnings are often pointing out real bugs in your packages (except for shlib-policy maybe, but following that is useful too) so you are not supposed to workaround them. if you still want to do it, see the *rpmlintrc files in factory.
b) My packages built fine all the time in Factory. I thought everything was fine for a quick release afer 11.0 came out.

iirc the checks were running in factory for a few weeks already before the 11.0 repository got branched off. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
