This PR is a proactive effort to answer my own question https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/ezXW03MzzYU

@pynicolas can you please review this PR?

Thanks a lot for the PR! Indeed, updating the list of pylint rules should be done more often.

I have 2 remarks about the content of the PR:

• Rules should not be deleted (e.g. C0322): users relying on an old version of pylint should still be able to have their issues imported.
• Preserving the existing indentation of rules.xml would make it much easier to review the changes (we don't care much about rules_generated.xml).

I'll try to handle those 2 points at the end of next week if nobody has done it before.

Thanks again!

Thanks @pynicolas, that will be much appreciated here. Let me know if you can't make it and I'll give it a try even though I'm no expert at all in merging XMLs.

Thanks.

@clarkgaybel I opened PR #149 based on what you did. Please have a look at it and test it.

This PR was replaced by #149 which was heavily based on this one. Thanks!

@tquenolle @AubryH This change should be released as part of SonarPython 1.10. Please see the request for feedback. Thanks!
