Hi, 

I think that I'm finished with updating the set of rpmlint checks for 11.0. 
You can see the current set of failures in beta-i386 (the other architectures 
are not rebuilding). 

Please submit fixes for the new fails:

executable-docs

- documentation should not be executable. most of the time this comes from 
using "install" (which installs with executable permissions by default). use 
install -m 644 or the %doc macro. 

makefile-junk

- generated Makefile's should not be in /usr/share

library-without-ldconfig-postun

- add %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig to the library package

percent-in-*

- most likely an unexpanded macro. e.g. %version is not defined before the 
Version: line in the spec file

summary-too-long

- the summary should be short. put the long stuff into %description

invalid-pkgconfig-file

- most likely contains an unexpanded macro. make sure that your AC_SUBST are 
correct and your autoreconf did not break it. 

file-contains-buildroot

- files should never contain the buildroot. make sure that the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT 
is not used outside %install, and that stuff is not build/rebuild 
during %install. some too clever build systems try hardcoding paths, which 
breaks for buildroot installation. 

invalid-filepath-dependency

- the list of paths that can be used in filerequires is fixed. if you violate, 
it will break installation. 

please report false positives to me before suppressing them!

Thanks,
Dirk
