[opensuse-packaging] Call for Contribution: RPMLint Site
Hi Folks, I’m an new Packager in OpenSUSE BuildService, and i like this work. But if i would like to package for Factory, RPMLINT gives me any Errors or warnings. But these things to fix, are very difficult. Our Wiki Side for RPMLINT doesn’t contain many Error or Warningcodes. From my side, i can say, that it's not good to make rpmlint as standard in OBS, and we have not enough dokumentation :-( But yesterday i’ve found an Side, with other Errorcodes from RPMLINT. Today i imported these Codes to our Wikiside http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint. I think it is not possible to list all codes on the Side. But i wish, that the side includes more Codes in the future. No i would like to make an Call for contribution. If every Packager insert the codes, that he knows, we have an good library soon. And on this Moment i would like to make an request about helping- Thank you all for the hard Work. And please have an eye on Documentations :-) -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Actually, it is quite the opposite, most rpmlint warnings are very simple to fix, but I understand that new packagers may have a hard time with the lack of "real" formal documentation..

it is good, because it provides a "first line of defense" to users, so they avoid getting broken packages.

Oh. This sentence was from my old mail. Now (a few weeks ago) i'm understanding the importance of the rpmlint and the other checks. > Just wondering.. what error message or warning you fail to understand > ? Actually my Knowledge was growed up (thanks to Petr). But in the Guidelines as we had acknowleged, the Princip is, that we would like to be (or develop) the easyest and best Distribution. And i think we must simplify: * the Graphic System (for the Endusers) * the development. Simplifying the development and packaging Process is if we all share our Knowledge to the whole Community. (My Joy minimized if i every time must ask for an Explainig RPMLint Error or Warning.) The Wiki (Forums, Mailnglists and Bugzilla) was a strategic important and a very good Sign. If we all share our Knowledge, and freeze it in the wiki, every Community Member can recieve the Informatrions. So we save time, brain, and the Nerves. Two Persons must not ask the same Question in different (or same) Medium. Short Version: If we invest regularly our time, to write or edit Wikipages, we can share our Informations. If the Information is fixed, we can access the Information through the Wiki-Serarch Field. That minimize the Forum and Mailingliststraffic.
