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 checks are processed but
specific checks can be performed by using command line parameters.

The idea for rpmlint is from the lintian tool of the Debian project.

Comments and new checks welcome. Send feedback to
<flepied@mandrakesoft.com>.

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).

If you want to change configuration options or the list of checks, use
the global configuration file /etc/rpmlint/config or in the user
configuration file ~/.rpmlintrc.

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.
