Bug#262783: Add a modality to check for a package dir _before_ doing the build
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
It would be nice to be able to run lintian on a package directory before
running debuild, to be able to catch various trivial things such as CVS
or .svn directories left around, debian versions when no matching
.orig.tar.gz is present in the upper directory and so on.
A possibility of spotting them before the build would be very valuable
to avoid spending long time waiting for the build to discover that a
.svn dir has left around or that I forgot to generate the .orig.tar.gz
and restart the build again.
Bye,
Enrico
