NAME


rpmlint - check common problems in rpm packages

SYNOPSIS


rpmlint [OPTION]... [FILE|PACKAGE]...

DESCRIPTION


rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in rpm packages. It can be used to test
individual packages and spec files before uploading or to check an entire distribution.
By default all applicable checks are processed but specific checks can be performed by
using command line parameters.

FILE can be a rpm package file, a spec file, or a directory. In case of a directory, it
is recursively searched for rpm and spec files to check. The special value - results in
standard input being read and treated as (single) spec file content. PACKAGE is the name
of an installed package or a glob(7) pattern to match installed packages, unless a file by
that name exists.

-i, --info
Display explanations for reported messages.

-I, --explain=messageid
Display explanations for the specified message identifiers and exit. This option
may be given multiple times.

-c, --check=check
Run only the specified check. This option may be given multiple times to specify
multiple checks to run. check is the name of the Python module (as it would be
given to Python's import statement) containing the check.

-a, --all
Check all installed packages.

-C, --checkdir=dir
Insert dir to the front of the list of paths to load checks from, unless it is
already in the list. The default list of check dirs typically contains only
/usr/share/rpmlint. Directories in the check dirs list are also inserted to the
front of the list of paths to load Python modules from when the check process
begins.

-h, --help
Display summary of command line options and exit.

-v, --verbose
Operate in verbose mode.

-E, --extractdir=dir
Base directory for extracted temporary files, default is what Python's
tempfile.gettempdir() returns.

-V, --version
Display version information and exit.

-n, --noexception
Ignore output filters.

--rawout=file
Write unfiltered output to file.

-f, --file=conffile
Load user configuration from the specified file, default is
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rpmlint (~/.config/rpmlint if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is empty or not
set).

-o, --option=value
Override a configuration option. value is a whitespace separated string, first
word of which is the option name to set, and the Python eval() return value for the
rest is set as the value for the option. Passing only an option name is treated as
if None was passed as its value. See the file "config" shipped with rpmlint for
the list of configuration options and their types. For example:
-o "NetworkEnabled True"
-o "Distribution 'My favorite distro'"
-o "MaxLineLength 80"
-o "ValidShells ('/bin/sh', '/bin/bash')"

CAVEATS


All checks do not apply to all argument types. For best check coverage, run rpmlint on
all source and binary packages your build produces. The set of checks rpmlint runs on
source packages is a superset of the one for plain specfiles, the set of checks run for
installed binary packages is a superset of the one for uninstalled binary package files,
and the source and binary package check sets are quite different.
