Those familiar with Red Hat's rpmdiff may notice some test categories

are missing from rpminspect. Here is a list of deliberate exclusions
13-
from the design of rpminspect:

are missing from rpminspect. See the MISSING file for more

Build Log
16-
Look at build log output from rpmbuild(1) and look for common
17-
compiler error or warning substrings and report those to
18-
users. This is not in rpminspect because it feels out of
19-
scope for the tool. Checking build logs and compiler output
20-
should be the job of another dedicated tool, the build process
21-
itself, or the project's test suite. rpminspect is about
22-
validating the built artifacts for policy compliance.

rpmlint

The rpmdiff tool would invoke rpmlint(1) on each package and
26-
collect the results for reporting. This is unnecessary as
27-
rpmlint can be run by itself and results collected separately.

Another thing worth noting is that rpminspect is a tool and not a
16+
service. rpmdiff was primarily a service that users submitted jobs to
17+
and results were reported. There were a set of tools underneath that
18+
you could run on your development system, but it was not easy to
19+
construct the same execution environment. Most developers never
20+
bothered running the tools locally. rpminspect is a developer tool
21+
first, so running it as part of a development or build process is key.
22+
The tool can be integrated in to different continuous integration
23+
systems to get the same type of service that rpmdiff used to provide.
