Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.38
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding more extensive documentation for the
--display-level option and other options that take similar arguments.
For instance:
[+|-|=][>=|>|<|<=][S|C|S/C]
How does the first set of symbols differ from the second set? What is
the difference between +, -, and = in the first set?
There are times when the first symbol is omitted. What does that mean?
The --default-display-level option says that it behaves exactly like
passing:
-L ">=important" -L "+>=normal/possible" -L "+minor/certain"
What does it mean to pass three incantations of -L to lintian? Under
what circumstances would/should you do this?
Thanks for improving lintian's documentation!
Cheers,
-m
