I am looking and using a github repo. which has a debian directory and debian/rules file which can be used to build the package/tool into a debian package. Using lintian I was able to get some warnings which upstream would probably fix in sometime. I heard some cool things about check-all-the-things and while it has more than a handful of dependencies I was able to install it. But while using lintian on a debian package is easy with $lintian somedebianpackage.deb check-all-the-things doesn't have any clear instructions. Even the manpage is somewhat confusing. I do understand that some flags are dangerous, but is there a way to run all the tests on a debian package to try some QA ?
How to use check-all-the-things with a .deb package?
package management;dpkg;lintian
Just run it in the package source folder:check-all-the-thingsYou'll probably want to tee that to a log file, the output is very verbose. The defaults are safe enough...
