Description-en: RPM package checker
rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in rpm packages. rpmlint
can be used to test individual packages before uploading or to check
an entire distribution. By default all applicable checks are
performed but specific checks can be performed by using command line
parameters.
.
rpmlint can check binary rpms (files and installed ones), source rpms,
and plain specfiles, but all checks do not apply to all argument
types. For best check coverage, run rpmlint on source rpms instead of
plain specfiles, and installed binary rpms instead of uninstalled
binary rpm files.
.
The idea for rpmlint is from the lintian tool of the Debian project.
