pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkglint/TODO
rillig fff7c773b6 Updated pkglint to 4.60.
Changes since 4.59:
- For many variables the :Q operator is not needed (by definition), for
  example some pathnames, user names, group names.
- Improved the diagnostics for planned package updates.
- Various catch-ups to recent changes in the infrastructure, among them
  BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS and gettext.mk.
- When the PLIST contains a libtool archive, the *.a and *.so files don't
  have to be mentioned explicitly.

Please add your own entries at the bottom of this file. If possible,
include the name of an example package where a warning should occur.
* fix false positive warnings
* ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM => NOT_FOR_PLATFORM
* -Wl,-rpath
* include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk" before using "+=".
* include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk" before any .if
* warn about the use of ${SED} in {pre,do,post}-install
* check for direct use of user names and group names
* Find a reliable, secure way to delete all CVS directories inside
${WRKSRC}. When that is finished, add a warning that using ${XARGS}
is insecure.
* detect spelling errors (like CONFLICT => CONFLICTS)
* warn about the use of ${WRKDIR:=...}, as this construct should only
be used with lists.
* mention the SUBST framework whenever ${SED} is used.
* check that Index: entries match the rest of the patch
* record with each substring its source location to be able to make
even more precise diagnostics
* check wether CONFIG* override match, e.g. CONFIGURE_DIRS most likely
needs matching CNOFIG_GUESS_OVERRIDE and CONFIG_SUB_OVERRIDE as well
* warn about BUILD_USES_MSGFMT and related defines being used when
devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk is not explicitly included?
* Many of the checking routines need some context to provide better
warnings. For example, checkline_foo() may need to know what has
happened in the file before that line.
* Add checks for binary packages. See Debian/lintian for ideas.
* Check that USE_LIBTOOL=yes, when the PLIST contains *.la.
