I'm not sure about that - without checking package content, you couldn't see, for example, whether the variant.arch tag has been correctly applied to a action. If such a tool to check package content is inevitable, wouldn't it make more sense to go ahead and build in a framework for package content linting, but leave much of the implementation up to additional plugins? > You might also have a check that manifests are correctly encoded in utf-8. > > line 81: "principle" -> "principal" Thanks, cheers, tim _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list pkg-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
