Starting from upstream rpmlint 0.86 (not yet released, but necessary patch
included in Fedora's 0.85-2), you have the option to drop additional *config
files to /etc/rpmlint/ and they will be read by rpmlint.
We discussed this in private mail in late october last year, I'm attaching the
mail I sent about this so others are aware of it as well, there are a few
message filtering recipes in it. I also posted a quick note to fedora-devel
about it:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-November/msg00093....
Thanks for reminding me about that email ... I'll have a go at an
implementation based on that.
Rich.
