[opensuse-factory] Rpmlint 2.0 progress report
Hi all, during hackweek that was happening at SUSE last week we tried to progress more on 2.0 release [0] of rpmlint. The release is now again bit closer as we managed to tackle few of the outstanding issues and simply try to spend the week improving as much as possible [1] (or postproning to 2.1 release [2]). Overall the theme for the 2.0 is: * make rpmlint normal python-ish module * add tests to validate the behaviour and ensure there are not too many false positives * include openSUSE specific checks into upstream as much as possible * Make tests more reliable and error out instead of throwing too many warnings Now I always asked for testers to try out the new checkers on their stuff but it sadly does not make 100% sense as we didn't port all the SUSE code yet to the new layout. But if you want to try it out we have built rpms on OBS [3]. You can still see if some bogus behaviour of 1.11 is happening with it and report bugs if it does so. Yet as not everything is ported yet it can be silent about something and start complaining again after we manage to port all of the required stuff. Alternatively if you feel really bored you can chip in by adding some tests or porting the openSUSE specific portions of the code to the new layout.
