#6 Disable useless incorrect-fsf-address rpmlint check
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 8 years ago by jwrdegoede.

Hi All,

If you look at for example:
https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/artifacts/all/35091066-c936-11e5-bfcd-525400120b80/task_output/ClanLib06-0.6.5-36.fc23.log

Then you're seeing a bunch of errors there due to the incorrect-fsf-address check. Since fixing
these requires needlessly deviating from upstream, this test imho is not very useful, so it would
be good if the taskotron rpmlint check would be changed to skip this test, this can be done by
adding a /etc/rpmlint/local-config file with the following contents:

addFilter("incorrect-fsf-address")

Regards,

Hans

p.s.

There are more tests which are probably best disabled, e.g. the output of the spelling test typically also is quite worthless.


Hey Hans, thanks for your report. We want to provide a user-configurable rpmlint rc file in the future, so that any package maintainer can set their own whitelist rules for rpmlint. That's tracked in #692. I'm not sure if we will provide some default configuration, that would be better to implement on a whole Fedora level I think (asking rpmlint package maintainer to ship some FPC-blessed default configuration file). But let's leave it here for future consideration. Hopefully #692 will resolve your issue.

We now support custom rpmlint config file to exclude unimportant or invalid errors, see #5. You can still push for changing the defaults in Fedora project as a whole, but I believe the new feature should resolve this sufficiently. Closing.
