I am not certain how relevant to your research it is, but the debian  
perl group uses two tools vaguely similar to lintian. The first is PET  
(Package Entropy Tracker) which is deployed by the debian perl group  
here[0] and by other groups inside debian. It is used to create  
something of a baseline - it compares upstream with debian packages  
and lists bugs as well as work in progress.


The debian perl team also has a tool called 'packagecheck'[1] which  
checks packages, amazingly enough. :)


Warm regards,

Jeremiah

Also, do any of you remember stories from the early lintian days?

Hi Martin,

are you interested only in Debian-Teams?
The eZComponents project[0] uses codesniffer[1] to check for coding styles, 
e.g. indentation, necessary documentation blocks, deprecated php functions.

Beste Gruesse,

… thanks for the pointer.

Thus far, I learnt about PET and packagecheck.

Several people also hinted at piuparts, but that's not exactly what
I wanted, since piuparts is really more of a general quality
assurance tool, intended mostly to be run by few people over many
packages, whereas lintian and packagecheck are tools that are run by
maintainers as part of their workflows.

Cheers,

piuparts is _intended_ to be run by every uploader, actually. Or at
least that was my intention back when I wrote it.

Emdebian is using edos-debcheck to verify that all dependencies of
a package are already satisfied in emdebian. This check is run 
before uploading a new vesion of a package.

Neil Williams knows more about this.

Cheers -Ralf.
