Rule
Reference

Every check pkglint runs, grouped by what it protects. Each rule has a page with a flagged and a preferred example.

Grading

A package is graded by its worst finding, so one critical outweighs any number of smaller notes. The severity beside each rule below is what it reports; a rule that weighs what it found — an eval of a downloaded script is worse than an eval — shows the range it spans.

Rules tagged {{template "fixpill" .FixSafe}} are rewritten in place by pkglint --fix, which never changes what the build does. Rules tagged {{template "fixpill" .FixUnsafe}} are mechanical too, but they do change it, so read the diff. Adding # pkglint: ignore=PB123 above a line suppresses a case you have already reviewed.
