What is rpmlint?
Rpmlint performs many different checks regarding RPM package sanity. Task-rpmlint is a Taskotron wrapper around that tool that executes it on every new Koji build and shows the results in Bodhi.
How does rpmlint task work?
Rpmlint task downloads all RPMs (source and binary) that your package consists of and runs rpmlint on them.
Whitelisting errors
You can whitelist errors that you believe don't apply to your package. task-rpmlint uses the same rpmlint config file as used by fedpkg lint, which is named <source_package_name>.rpmlintrc. If there's such a file in your distgit repository, it will be used when rpmlint is executed as part of task-rpmlint.
To test the config file locally, you can use
rpmlint --file <source_package_name>.rpmlintrc <rpms>
or
fedpkg lint
(once PR 293 is merged and released).
Getting Help
If you have generic rpmlint-related questions, it's best to ask on devel list or fedora-devel IRC channel.
