Hey all,
Nearly four years and 754 commits since rpmlint 1.10, we are
releasing rpmlint 2.0.0!
This new release has a lot of new features, but here are the most notable:
- RPMLint now is a “normal” Python application and now supports being
imported like a standard Python module! This means that all the normal
use-cases for RPMLint are still supported, but now you can make it a
part of larger Python-based applications or services. - RPMLint uses a declarative TOML-based syntax for configuring RPMLint
policy instead of Python code. - RPMLint now has an override system for the descriptions shown for
various checks, so that distributions who want to give specific policy
information can do so without patching the code. - RPMLint includes many more checks! Nearly all of the generally
useful checks created by the openSUSE community have been merged into
the tree, so distributions can now benefit from a wider offering of
checks to implement policy enforcement. - RPMLint is Python 3 only and now supports Python 3.6 and newer.
- RPMLint is now built and installed like a standard Python
application using setuptools.
I want to specifically thank Tomáš Chvátal, Martin Liska, Kristyna
Streitova, Dirk Mueller, Miroslav Suchý, Ondřej Súkup, thisisshub, and
Miro Hrončok as top contributors to make this release happen!
