I'm trying to get ramped back up with how Lintian works these days, at least enough to be able to review and approve merge requests. When looking at:
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/400 I was a bit confused by the added tests, specifically that the valid package seems to still have a hints file showing a tag that I think shouldn't be issued? I don't think that's a problem with that test or that MR, though, because the same is true of the existing tags about poetry. I figured I didn't understand what I was looking at so went to read the documentation about the test suite in t/recipes/README, but this seems to be obsolete? It's talking about Tests-For, which is how the test suite used to work when I was working on Lintian, and doesn't seem to mention the eval directory. doc/tutorial/Lintian/Tutorial/WritingTests.pod seems similarly out of date. Is there more up-to-date documentation somewhere that I should be looking at? Or, failing that, maybe an explanation for what I saw with the hints file would get me oriented so that I understand where to look.
