No action since over 2 yrs ago and still assigned to Bug Squad

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully
updated Mageia 4

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD

Comment 2 Barry Jackson 2015-04-15 00:00:23 CEST

I just changed a sub-package group in gnuradio to "Garbage".
Running rpmlint on the new srpm reports no errors, so this is still valid.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: OLD => (none)

Comment 3 Barry Jackson 2015-08-13 15:09:14 CEST

Still Valid for Mageia 5 :\

I don't know if this issue is valid with the latest upstream version of rpmlint. We're currently on rpmlint-1.5, while upstream released rpmlint-1.9 at the end of June[1].

Some kind of effort to rebase our rpmlint patches, our rpmlint policy, etc. needs to be made prior to working on rpmlint related bugs. Otherwise we're just going to create more problems for us in the future.
