 We need to provide some whitelisting capability of rpmlint packages, so
 the package maintainers can mark some messages as invalid. We will also
 probably want to mark some messages as invalid by default for the whole
 Fedora project.

 As an interesting inspiration, look at lintian project (validation of deb
 packages). It provides some "overrides" on a package basis, you just
 create a definition file in /etc/lintian/package_name or kind of. I have
 the feeling that rpmlint provides something similar, but we need to
 discover it more properly.

Comment (by atodorov):

 Hi,
 I've hit the same issues while doing rpmlint testing for RHEL6. I've
 spoken to rpmlint maintainer for RHEL6 and we discussed some options. The
 idea is close to the lintian one above. I'll post to the mailing list.
