I would like to think that one day the code will get tidied enough that we don't have to have all these shellcheck disablements. But if we don't turn off the hundreds of warnings, we can't see the errors, I suppose. Hope's spring is eternal ....

As a heads-up seemed okay, from the other day:

I noticed that quickget Mageia is seriously out-of-date. We are offering ver 8 which went EOL last month and is no longer downloadable .... 🙄

edit: not downloadable from their html download page, that is

PS also GhostBSD has new release 23.10.01

#909

[TuxVinyards]

I haven't really explored GitHub actions as a tool. I have tended to see it as aimed more at enterprise level and left it be. You seem to have done well with it and Mega Lint certainly looks impressive.

There are so many tests. Are all the languages that are being linted in use in quickemu? Or are there snippets are hiding in places?

In general, I am a bit concerned about shellcheck being disabled left right and centre and then having claims made that the code is all good because it can now pass ....

Personally, I would feel happier knowing that the new code is being usage tested to see that it actually does what it is meant to do and that it can do it in different usage scenarios.

I wanna use output of linters and create review on PR. But so far not succesfully.
Also megalinter show summary only on PRs from same repo 🥲 (At least for me now)

This will be closed, other PRs in progres..
