rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in rpm packages. rpmlint
|
|
can be used to test individual packages before uploading or to check
|
|
an entire distribution. By default all applicable checks are
|
|
performed but specific checks can be performed by using command line
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
rpmlint can check binary rpms (files and installed ones), source rpms,
|
|
and plain specfiles, but all checks do not apply to all argument
|
|
types. For best check coverage, run rpmlint on source rpms instead of
|
|
plain specfiles, and installed binary rpms instead of uninstalled
|
|
binary rpm files.
|
|
|
|
The idea for rpmlint is from the lintian tool of the Debian project.
|
|
|
|
Comments and new checks welcome. See the project home page at
|
|
http://rpmlint.zarb.org/ for mailing list information, bug tracking
|
|
system and other project resources.
|
|
|
|
Implemented checks:
|
|
|
|
o Tag checks (TagsCheck).
|
|
o Distribution specific checks (MandrakeCheck).
|
|
o Binary checks (BinaryCheck).
|
|
o Configuration file checks (ConfigCheck).
|
|
o Location, permission, group and owner checks (FileCheck).
|
|
o suid warnings (FileCheck).
|
|
o Signature checks (SignatureCheck).
|
|
o FHS checks (FHSCheck).
|
|
o Source specific checks (SourceCheck).
|
|
o i18n checks (I18NCheck).
|
|
o Menu system checks (MenuCheck).
|
|
o %post; %pre, %postun and %preun script checks (PostCheck).
|
|
o /etc/rc.d/init.d checks (InitScriptCheck).
|
|
o Spec file checks (SpecCheck).
|
|
o Zip/Jar file checks (ZipCheck).
|
|
o Pam configuration file checks (PamCheck).
|
|
o Rpm file checks (RpmFileCheck).
|
|
|
|
If you want to change configuration options or the list of checks, use
|
|
the global configuration files /etc/rpmlint/*config or the user
|
|
configuration file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rpmlint (~/.config/rpmlint if
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME is empty or not set).
|
|
|
|
Configuration files are Python source files and should begin with the
|
|
following line:
|
|
|
|
from Config import *
|
|
|
|
to load configuration functions.
|
|
|
|
Configuration functions:
|
|
|
|
resetChecks() resets the list of checks.
|
|
|
|
addCheck(check) adds the check to the list of checks to try.
|
|
|
|
addCheckDir(path) adds a path to look for checks.
|
|
|
|
setOption(name, value) sets the value of the configuration option.
|
|
See below for the list of available options.
|
|
|
|
addFilter(regexp) adds a filter to remove the output of a check, and
|
|
removeFilter(regexp) removes one (for use eg. in per-user configuration
|
|
files to remove filters added in system config files).
|
|
|
|
Available options:
|
|
|
|
name type default
