Good question.
I think what we want is a layer of Fedora specific checks over
Rpmlint. In fact the following class takes care of the Rpmlint part:
class CheckRpmlint(QACheck):
"""unleashes rpmlint at the srpm and the binary rpm if the build
is complete"""
Checks like downloading the sources, patches, checking their upstream
validity, etc. might take too much time and assume too much (eg., good
internet connection, etc.) for a tool like Rpmlint. Running a
full-blown review is not always necessary in the lifetime of a
package, but people do tend to use Rpmlint to check up a new package
before pushing it.
Happy hacking,
