NAME

       debian/lintian-brush.conf - per-package configuration for lintian-brush

DESCRIPTION

       A  lintian-brush  per-package configuration file that contains of a series of single key/value pairs. The
       configuration file should be placed in the package at debian/lintian-brush.conf.

       The hash sign “#” is used as a comment character. Any text after the comment character to the end of  the
       line is ignored.

VARIABLES

       The following variables are currently supported:

       compat-release = RELEASE

              compat-release  specifies the oldest release that the package aims to be compatible with. lintian-
              brush will not make any changes that require packages or features not present in this release.

              Supported values are Debian and Ubuntu code names as well as aliases  ("testing",  "experimental",
              "stable", "unstable"). Version numbers are currently not supported.

              The default compat release is "stable".

       allow-reformatting = True|False

              If  allow-reformatting  is  enabled, lintian-brush will make changes to debian files in a way that
              does not necessarily preserve existing formatting.

              If disabled, lintian-brush will not run any fixers that can not preserve formatting.

       update-changelog = True|False

              The update-changelog setting determines whether new lines in the changelog will be added  for  the
              changes that lintian-brush has made to the package.

              By  default,  lintian-brush  will automatically (using some basic heuristics, such as checking for
              the presence of a [dch] section in debian/gbp.conf) determine  whether  the  changelog  should  be
              updated.

              You may want to set this to False if you are using "gbp dch" to generate your changelog entries.
