Description
Let's temporarily turn off the automatic port lint email report.
The port lint running on the server (from MacPorts 1.6.0) has at least one bug (#14165) which causes it to warn about something it shouldn't. We're also having a discussion about port lint being too pedantic about some things (#14799) so it will probably be changed to issue fewer warnings. So that we don't bother our committers with irrelevancies, let's turn off the automatic port lint emails until such a time as we release a new version of MacPorts containing these changes. (Or if you're willing, once we've made the changes, you could recompile MacPorts 1.6.0 but include an updated portlint.tcl from trunk -- but I wouldn't expect you to do that.)
Change History
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by wsiegrist@…
I have updated the server to use the latest version of portlint.tcl, so #14165 should be taken care of for auto linting.
One issue I found was that patchfile warnings stop working since there is now a "file exists" check, but autolinting works on the Portfile in isolation so it never has access to the patchfiles. Before I file a ticket for it, I'll wait to see if they want to be turned off completely or changed in some other way.
Over to jmpp for portmgr approval.
