List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: gnome-clocks
Specific binary packages built, but NOT to be promoted to main: none
Recommended TODOs:
- #1 an autopkgtest would be nice, but TBH I'm unsure if that is doable
without over-investing, so really please consider this nice to have.
- #2 The package should get a team bug subscriber before being promoted
[Duplication]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
Furthermore I know from community interactions (and using it myself) that this
can be quite useful to track time across timezones - so it would be great to
have it in main for more than just the requested dependency :-)
[Dependencies]
OK:
- no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
more tests now.
Problems: None
[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- not a rust package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
Problems: None
[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
an untrusted source.
- does not expose any external endpoint (port/socket/... or similar)
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates, signing, ...)
Problems: None
[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
- test suite fails will fail the build upon error (normal dh_auto_test).
- This does not need special HW for build or test
- no new python2 dependency
Problems:
- does not have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest. But then I
might not be creative enough - the use cases are hard to test in automation
and the scope is narrow so chances are high that any user of it would find
an issue if there is one (that is different with stacks that have 1001
different use cases). Hence I consider an autopkgtest for this package
nice to have, but not strictly required.
[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- debian/watch is present and looks ok
- Upstream update history is good
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is good
- the current release is packaged
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
maintained the package (all are team members of the now owning team)
- no massive Lintian warnings
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list
Problems: None
[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
There is https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.FileChooserDialog.html being
deprecated, but that has a direct replacement and should be handled fine
down the road.
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as we can check it)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid / setgid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu. There are quite
some, but all bad ones are years old. Does not look concerning.
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- part of the UI, desktop file is ok
- translation present
Review for Source Package: gnome-clocks

MIR team ACK
This does not need a security review
