Future options:
-e Only log errors, not warnings (right now, everything is a warning).
Future test ideas:
- extract the doinst.sh separately and check it. 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.
