Description: check all of the things!
 This package will help you check all of the things.
 .
 This package is aimed at checking things that are
 related to packaging and software development.
 .
 To find out what kind of things it checks, take a
 look at the package recommends and data directory.
 .
 WARNING: since it checks so many things the output
 can be very verbose so don't use it if you don't
 have time to go through the output to find problems.

Contributions: can go straight into collab-maint

workflow:
 - in upstream git repo
 - after package build

TODO:

- option to disable checks
- run commands according to mimetype of the files - xdg-mime
- hide non-output commands, list them
- false-positives
- output verbosity
- exclude subtrees
- manual page

checks:

- numbers http://www.coding-guidelines.com/numbers/
- slidelint
- foodcritic (for chef cookbooks)
- libtest-kwalitee-perl
- libtest-tabs-perl
- setuid check script
- suggest ABI checkers
- php-pkg-tools
- tmperamental (belongs to the dangerous category, running potentially untrusted code)
- flake8 (pyflakes + pep8 + mccabe)
- buildlogcheck - brlink working on it
- ftpmasters checks??
- pkg-perl-tools has check-build (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/pkg-perl-tools.git/tree/examples/check-build) which may have ideas what else to add to catt
- hacking - python

Maybe suggest interactive helpers

- syntastic (vim plugin)
- develock-el (emacs minor mode, e.g. for highlighting overlong code lines, tabs vs spaces, etc.)
- emacs-goodies-el (many small helpers that highlight common issues)

areas

- cmake
- pascal - documentation generator may do checks? -> pasdoc maintainer doesn't think this helps much
- RDF (rdf/xml, Turtle, ...), using rapper (raptor package)
- libraries
- lisp ?
- code fingerprint
- vala
- 3d formats (VRML 1.0, 2.0, X3D, Collada, 3DS) test with view3dscene maybe? -> elbrus


Example check definition file:

[gettext-lint-checker]
apt = gettext-lint
match = *.po *.pot
command = POFileChecker {files}
