Hi, everybody!

I'm working on a new RPM spec for Pd (Pure Data). And there is an error from `rpmlint` (actually, `fedpkg --release f33 lint`) that I cannot solve:

E: backup-file-in-package /usr/lib64/pd/extra/bob~

This is not a backup file, but a directory and there are several of them. In Pd tilde in the end is used for so-called 'audio' objects, so I cannot exclude these paths.

In which way should I modify spec to conform lint rules?

You can include a file called <package_name>.rpmlintrc in the same directory as is the spec file.

The file looks like this:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.10/blob/rawhide/f/python3.10.rpml...

You add regular expressions to ignore, using the addFilter() function (Python syntax).

Thanks!

Should I somehow include this file in the package, or usually it stays alongside?

You commit/push it into dist-git (so other packagers and automated rpmlint checks can also read it), but you don't usually include it as a Source in the SRPM (at least I have never seen that).
