Too bad :)

I wrote a little helper script which was supposed to prevent me from posting packages that don't build or lint. Then I found out that the lint actually doesn't fail on warnings. So now my script is only half as useful (the builder does fail on build error).

It would be nice to have a way to also check the lint status.
