Implement syntax check for dla-needed.txt
During the LTS contributor IRC meeting on 25th May a suggestion was made to implement syntax checking for dla-needed.txt
. The implementation requires:
- developing an understanding of the syntax of
dla-needed.txt
(e.g., format, date validation, etc) - implementing a suitable script that can validate the format, exiting with an error status if validation fails
- placing the script alongside other pre-commit hook scripts in the security tracker repo
- documenting the setup for new contributors cloning the security tracker repo for the first time (as with the other pre-commit hooks)
