If we e.g. have + an icon cache or desktop file cache in $PKG, but no + gtk-update-icon-cache or update-desktop-database command in the + doinst.sh, that's definitely an error. + +- more forbidden files. for fonts.{dir|scale}, we need the doinst.sh + test (doinst can and should create these; they should *not* just be + files in the package). + +- noarch could recommend a package be made noarch, if it contains no + ELF files and doesn't use lib or lib64 dirs. Should this just + be a recommendation, or should it count as a failed test? + +- static libraries? some packages ship these because upstream doesn't + support shared libs, though. maybe only complain if libfoo.so.* and + libfoo.a both exist (if we have a shared lib, we shouldn't also have + a static one). Maybe this should be a disable-able warning? + +- icons. Make sure they are what their filename says (I've run into .png + files named .svg, and .gif files named .png, etc). If they're in + /usr/share/icons/<size>x<size>/, make sure they actually are the correct + size (or that they're SVG, if they're in scalable/). Really large icons + in /usr/share/pixmaps are probably useless (most stuff that uses the + old-style icons expects them to be 48x48 or 64x64). Icons must be + readable by everyone, non-executable, and owned by root:root. + +- duplicate files, maybe the error message could suggest a "ln -s" command + to use if the file really does need to appear in multiple dirs. + +- fonts. make sure they are what their filename says, and are installed to + the correct /usr/share/fonts/* or /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts dir. + +Other ideas: + +When linting multiple packages, print a summary: 100 packages checked, +10 failed, 90 passed. Maybe with percentages too. + +Clean up the output. Make it easier to grep. |
