[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4176) Useless-provides detected by RPMlint

[Lukáš Valach (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13323364#comment-13323364 ] 

Lukáš Valach commented on JBDS-4176:
------------------------------------

I think you can use both grep and addFilter in rpmlint.conf.

??rpmlint ... | grep useless-provides??
This will hide all errors not containing useless-provides, we don't want it I guess.

??...| grep -v -e our_exception1 -e our_exception2??
This is the same as addFilter, isn't?
*addFilter ("our_exception1")*
*addFilter ("our_exception1")*

We can also use regular expression
*addFilter ("^foo-.*regex-match-for-rpmlint-warning")*

You can use any valid Perl/Python regular expression for filtering[(source)|https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_checks#Suppressing_False_Positives]

> addFilter("W: ") 				# Warnings can be suppressed
> addFilter("E: dir-or-file-in-opt") 		# False positive
> addFilter("E: devel-dependency")		# False positive
> addFilter("E: explicit-lib-dependency")		# May be improved but is not important for now
> addFilter("E: non-executable-script")		# 99% of these errors are false positive comming from upstream, there is a very small chance to get relevant error
> addFilter("E: wrong-script-interpreter")	# The same as above
> addFilter("E: zero-length")			# The same as above
> {code}
> [~vkadlcik] please correct me if I'm wrong.
