Tom Hoar, the author of this script, asked me to remove it because it
doesn't actually do what the current name says, and can't work without
an additional script which isn't in the repository.
This is not pleasant to read (and much, much less pleasant to write!) but
sort of necessary in an open project. Right now it's quite hard to figure
out what is licensed how, which doesn't matter much to most people but can
suddenly become very important when people want to know what they're being
allowed to do.
I kept the notices as short as I could. As far as I could see, everything
without a clear license notice is LGPL v2.1 or later.
This is lint reported by the new lint-checking functionality in beautify.py.
(We can change to a different lint checker if we have a better one, but it
would probably still flag these same problems.)
Lint checking can help a lot, but only if we get the lint under control.
The CSS style that Pocketlint expects is just too different from what we
have. Don't check those files for now.
Also, a maximum line length of 300 still gives too many warnings, so I'm
regretfully dumping the default to 400 characters. The traditional 80
characters are already longer than the measured optimum for human reading,
so I hope some day we can address this!
Choose which action(s) you want for each run: --format and/or --lint.
Many different types of files are lint-checkable, but you need Pocketlint
installed (plus ideally, its plugins for the various languages).
Also, added option to control batching of the commands.
This is about the last that isn't in contrib or generated files. At this
point we can start doing regular lint checks, at least on the Python files,
without being completely inundated with warnings.
