Package: lintian Version: 2.114.0 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I find myself frequently in the position that I am trying to override a lintian warning or a lintian error but have to experiment a bit until I get it right. This might be my personal problem, or lintian sometimes behaves erratically. In any case, the turnaround time of such experiments is displeasingly long since a full packaege build is required. It would be nice to have a debugging possibility, for example by having a command line option --extra-override-file that could be used to point lintian to a file that can be quickly changed. Or, in the "invoke from an unpacked package dir" case, an option --use-unpacked-overrides can be used to tell lintian to directly read the overrides from the unpacked package dir that can also be changed more quickly. Thanks for providing lintian, and thanks for trying to make override file writing a lesser pain in the ass ;-) Greetings Marc
