Refining what to check #13

Closed DamienCassou closed 6 years ago

DamienCassou commented 6 years ago

EMake considers the files in PACKAGE_LISP for (1) compilation, (2) checkdoc and (3) package-lint. Typically, every non-test file in my projects can be checked against (1), (2) and (3). Test files on the other hand, only respect (1) and (2) but not (3). My test files are not respecting (3) mostly because the typical namespace of a test file is the filename without -test.el. This is enforced by nameless.

Because a test file doesn't respect (3), I can't run (1) and (2) on them and I find that annoying.

PACKAGE_LISP is documented thus:

This contains a space-delimited list of files to be considered part of the package.

It was not originally intended to include your test suite – only the actual distribution.

Since you can alter PACKAGE_LISP on a target-by-target basis in a Makefile, I'm not inclined to change this definition.
