Package: lintian Version: 2.57.0 Severity: wishlist Hi! When reviewing packages, I find myself hardly ever look at overridden tags, as it's tedious to mentally weed them out when reading lintian output. I think it would be great if you could visually mark them.
For example, using \e[2m (half-bright) would be nice -- and work on the vast majority of terminals. So would using \e[30;1m (bright black). The former looks like: printf ' W: libfoo-bar: \e[33ma-real-warning-tag\e[39m not enough cats E: lib-foo-bar: \e[31ma-real-error-tag\e[39m too many dogs \e[2mN: N: see Bug #954146 N: O: libsane-dev: \e[31mgzip-file-is-not-multi-arch-same-safe\e[39m xxx.gz\e[22m\n ' Meow! -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-rc6-00085-ge6fd0e58416e (SMP w/64 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.34-4 ii bzip2 1.0.8-2 ii diffstat 1.63-1 ii dpkg 1.20.0 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.0 ii file 1:5.38-4 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-10 ii gpg 2.2.19-3 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b3 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.68-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.46-1 ii libclass-xsaccessor-perl 1.19-3+b3 ii libclone-perl 0.43-2 ii libdevel-size-perl 0.83-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.0 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libfont-ttf-perl 1.06-1 ii libio-async-loop-epoll-perl 0.20-1 ii libio-async-perl 0.75-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-2 ii libjson-maybexs-perl 1.004000-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.53-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b5 ii libmoo-perl 2.003006-1 ii libmoox-aliases-perl 0.001006-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.108-1 ii libsereal-decoder-perl 4.011+ds-1 ii libsereal-encoder-perl 4.011+ds-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3200-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libtype-tiny-perl 1.008001-2 ii liburi-perl 1.76-2 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0134+dfsg-2 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.81+repack-1 ii man-db 2.9.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2+b1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.30.0-9 ii t1utils 1.41-3 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b6 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-5 pn libtext-template-perl <none> -- no debconf information
