Bug Description
[Availability]
The package dav1d is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package dav1d build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf i386
ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package https:/
[Rationale]
- The package dav1d is required in Ubuntu main for libheif
- The package dav1d will generally be useful for a large part of our
user base as it provides a state of art and royalty-free video
codec [1].
- Package dav1d provides AV1 decoding like aom, but lacks video encoding.
- The package dav1d is a new runtime dependency of package libheif that
we will support
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package
dav1d in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does contain extensions to security-sensitive software:
the package provides AV1 video codec which processes untrusted input
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many
and long term critical bugs open
- Ubuntu https:/
- Debian https:/
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails.
Note: only a small subset of tests is run, because full test requires test
data download.
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it is not implemented
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- Please link to a recent build log of the Package
https:/
- Please attach the full output you have got from
`lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug.
- Lintian overrides are not present
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.

- The package will not be installed by default
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be Foundations Team
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion

We don't need this necessarily, but can use src:aom instead, see https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ libheif/ +bug/1827442/ comments/ 50 (and previous comments on that bug report). I'm reducing the priority to "Low" for now.
