pkgsanitychecks - run sanity checks on the package

pkgsanitychecks directory

pkgsanitychecks runs sanity checks on the binary packages and lets the build fail if the sanity checks don't pass.

The following checks are run:

Starting with python-2.6 the public python modules are expected to be placed in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages instead of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages.
Checks if any files are placed in /usr/local instead of /usr.
Checks if any files are placed in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ are not executable.

If this variable is set to a nonempty value, then pkgsanitychecks is disabled. This is most useful if source packages build nested binary packages as part of their build.

pkgsanitychecks is developed by Matthias Klose <doko@ubuntu.com>.
