#149: rpmlint: Provide whitelisting of messages --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: kparal | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Package update tests Component: tests | Version: 1.0 Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- We need to provide some whitelisting capability of rpmlint packages, so the package maintainers can mark some messages as invalid. We will also probably want to mark some messages as invalid by default for the whole Fedora project.
As an interesting inspiration, look at lintian project (validation of deb packages). It provides some "overrides" on a package basis, you just create a definition file in /etc/lintian/package_name or kind of. I have the feeling that rpmlint provides something similar, but we need to discover it more properly.
