See below, but in response to your earlier mail: I'd really appreciate if we could keep the syntax checks *for each build*. It's just by far too easy to forget about doing them and FAI lacks terribly automatic testing anyway, so this would at least cater for catching the most basic errors. > BTW, adding liblinux-lvm-perl to build-depends may cause lvm2 to be > installed on the building host, when someone manually installs > liblinux-lvm-perl but does not disable installing of recommended > packages. Then installing lvm2 also creates a new initrd on the > build host. Ouch. [...] You're right, this isn't really desirable. I'll try to come up with a solution tonight. The way I'd like to go is adding dummy files that can be using for the perl syntax check. Best regards, Michael
