The long-term goal is to turn checkbashisms into some more convenient sort of shared code that both Lintian and the devscripts check can use. Currently, Lintian only checks maintainer scripts, so you should use checkbashisms to check other scripts. Checking other scripts and debian/rules files has been on the wish list for quite a while, but as yet we've not done the necessary work in Lintian. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
