rpmlint and rpmlintrc have no man page (the irony!)

[paulwouters]

running rpmlint on the rpmlint package should indeed give a:

E: no-manual-page-for-binary

The reason I found this was because I wanted to know if there is a way to disable the "valid opensource licencse" check without needing a per package rpmlintrc line with addFilter("E: invalid-license") for our own (non-opensource) packages.

Which rpmlint package? maybe we can create a test to verify the problem. As far as I can tell this error is disabled by default, at least in openSUSE.

in the fedora package in rawhide:

paul.wouters@fedora:~/fedora/rpmlint (rawhide)$ rpmlint /home/paul.wouters/RPMS/noarch/rpmlint-2.4.0-9.fc37.noarch.rpm

But ofcourse the proper fix is not to silence the warning, but to ship with man pages for the binaries and for the rpmlintrc format :)
