Hi Packagers As we add more and more rpmlintrc-files to our packages to deal with rpmlint warnings and errors, I think we should clarify some things here and afterwards add a new chapter to the packagers manual and the rpmlint site on en.opensuse.org. 1) Name your rpmlintrc-file! Please _do_not_ add a plain rpmlintrc file to your package! Think about installing multiple src.rpms on your system: the last rpmlintrc will win... (yes, we should discuss the "installing src.rpms in an extra directory" problematic - but not within this mail ;-) So please follow the description on http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint and name your rpmlintrc file: %{name}-rpmlintrc or %{name}-%{version}-rpmlintrc 2) Add your rpmlintrc file to your specfile Please add a line like: Source100: %{name}-%{version}-rpmlintrc to your specfile. Otherwise both the check_if_valid_source_dir script will fail and autobuild will reject to check in your package. Adding the rpmlintrc file as source will also add it to the src.rpm - so other packagers outsite can have a look at it and perhaps came up with a better solution. Any other/better suggestions about rpmlintrc-files are welcome!
