Hi, 

there are new checks being added to the Factory rpmlint package that will 
become errors soon:

init-script-without-%stop_on_removal-preun
package installs an /etc/init.d script, but doesn't run the %stop_on_removal 
macro in %preun

init-script-without-%insserv_cleanup-postun
package installs an /etc/init.d script, but doesn't run %insserv_cleanup
in %postun

for understanding why those are necessary, please read the packagers manual / 
suse packaging conventions. There are about 93 packages affected. I'd like to 
hear about false positives in order to improve the check.

invalid-desktopfile
package contains a .desktop file that doesn't validate. (use 
desktop-file-validate on it to understand why). 259 (!) packages are 
affected.

untranslated-desktop-file
package installs a .desktop file but doesn't run %suse_update_desktop_file on 
it. 138 packages are affected. 

The library policy checker has been updated to give more accurate information. 
Those warnings are not becoming an error any time soon, so consider them for 
information only.

There is also an informational check for files that shouldn't be in a suse 
linux binary package, like the generic (source-) INSTALL instructions or 
README's for non-linux operating systems. I don't know exactly yet how many 
packages are affected, but its somewhere around 600. 


Greetings,
Dirk
