Description of problem: I've been running rpmlint against the spec file in the review request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1326504 The upstream source for this package is hosted on GitHub. The HEAD request against the source URL that rpmlint runs receives a 403 response from GitHub, which is then reported as an invalid URL. I reported this to the upstream of rpmlint, who said that this is a GitHub problem: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/issues/71 Could GitHub be added to the filters supplied with the Fedora package, as has happened with bitbucket and others, at least until GitHub fixes this problem? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-1.8-4.fc23.src.rpm How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rpmlint against spec file with GitHub source URL 2. 3. Actual results: Invalid source URL reported Expected results: URL check succeeds Additional info:
