I guess it'd help to make that line read: lintian -F gave: [...] lintian --pedantic -I reports however: [...] Or something alike. Apart from that I still hope the new mentors.d.n (for full list of good ideas see [1]) will come alive and allow us to make automatic checks possible. Until that happens though I've put together a somewhat lenghty test-script that I usually run on my resulting packages after they are built as a review process. And if that fails, I'll report it back to the list like anyone else. Would be greath though if we could improve that situation. Does anyone know the current status of the new mentors.d.n?
