I've been looking into integrating the lintool functionality into repoman f=
or=20
the last couple of days, am beginning to make some headway. I will let you=

know where I've got something worth looking at.

I'm aware that lintool is "broken", but nobody seems to know exactly what i=
s=20
wrong with it. This would help enoumously if someone could enlighten me...

Cheers.
