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.
