[Availability]
The package gnome-text-editor is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package gnome-text-editor build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-text-editor
[Rationale]
- The package gnome-text-editor is required in Ubuntu main to replace gedit as the default desktop text editor
- Package gnome-text-editor covers the same use case as gedit, but is better
because it is the new default editor in GNOME and it is actively maintained, thereby we want to replace it.
- The package gnome-text-editor is required in Ubuntu main no later than aug 25
due to kinetic feature freeze
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- 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 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 current no open report
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-text-editor/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gnome-text-editor
- 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
it makes the build fail, link to build log https://launchpadlibrarian.net/598874210/buildlog_ubuntu-kinetic-amd64.gnome-text-editor_42.1-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because desktop softwares aren't easy to test in autopkgtest. THe situation isn't a regression compared to gedit which we want ro replace. While it would be nice to get some sort of autopkgtest in place we don't think that should be a blocker to replace gedit.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present, it's currently not working due to GNOME infrastructure changes but that's going to be resolved.
- there are only a few minor lintian warnings
# lintian --pedantic
W: gnome-text-editor: no-manual-page usr/bin/gnome-text-editor
W: gnome-text-editor source: no-nmu-in-changelog
W: gnome-text-editor source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 42.1-1
P: gnome-text-editor source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root
- Lintian overrides are not present
- 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://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-text-editor/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules
[UI standards]
- Application is end-user facing, Translation is present, via standard gettext
- End-user applications that ships a standard conformant desktop file,
[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main expect gtksourceview-5 which is a newer serie of a package already in main which we plan to transition to.
[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
- The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
test rebuild
[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well
