Bug Description
[Availability]
The package libqrtr-glib is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libqrtr-glib build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64 armhf arm64 ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package https:/
[Rationale]
- The package libqrtr-glib is required in Ubuntu main for modemmanager to support qualcomm modems. We current carry a delta over Debian to disable that option
- The package libqrtr-glib will be useful only to users owning such hardware but even if that's a limited set of users it's important for us to have Ubuntu supporting the available hardware.
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package libqrtr-glib in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has no bug open currently
- Ubuntu https:/
- Debian https:/
[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a minimal test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build fail, link to build log https:/
- There is a basic build autopkgtest for the library
https:/
- testplan
On a computer with a QRTR modem in an Ubuntu session, open the settings, check that the modem panel correctly describes the device and available SIM. Try to connect to a carrier and use the data connection.
Our Desktop and oem teams don't have access to compatible hardware at the moment to go through the testplan.
The Certification Team owns some IoT hardware with qualcomm modems though and we are working with them to see if those could be used to do our testing but the setup is somewhat challenging (available only via testflinger, the device are using UC20 and ubuntu server on focal and we can't revert the state remotely if needed. Also SIM card availability is limited).
As a result we currently are not able to commit to be able to validate the testplan on updates, but we are working on trying to resolve the situation.
We believe we have exercised the different options available to provide testing without managing to find a solution. We will keep trying to resolve the testing gap but meanwhile we would still like to request for the package to be consider because we can't provide the feature as an opt-in/in universe since it's a build option from modemmanager but not an independent plugin.
Due to the nature, integration and use cases of the package the
consequences of a regression that might slip through most likely
would be that Qualcomm modems stop working correctly.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- This package only has a minor lintian warning
- Link to recent build log including a lintian run
# lintian --pedantic
running with root privileges is not recommended!
W: libqrtr-glib source: superfluous-
- Lintian overrides are present, but only to silent warnings about gtk-doc being outside of /usr/share/doc
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf questions
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules https:/
[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)
[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be desktop-packages
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
[Background information]

Setting as low priority and incomplete, we will eventually want it but we can disable the build option for now. The autopkgtest situation probably needs to be sort out first, also it's unclear what hardware requires it but we haven't see a demand for it yet
