[This mailing list isn't dead - its just resting...]

There is an interesting bug report in the Red Hat bugzilla for exim:-
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125117

The pointer to this I was given said 
        Various print format warnings from someone with a real facist
        intel compiler. They all look harmless bugs but the ones I
        sampled are still there.


We obviously need to fix this specific problem, however there is also an
issue that new release procedures should aim to detect and eliminate
this sort of bug within development and before release.

So we need:-
      * Some form of lint or other facist checker
      * Common coding flaw checkers (ie the old gets stuff, and more
        recent)


and I am sure that others can add other requirements here.

Additionally it would be good if we had a good way of hooking the
distribution bug repositories in some way - picking up reported bugs.

Main reason for this message is to leave footprints in the archives - so
we have a note that it needs sorting some time...

    Nigel.
