Comment 0 for bug 1978066

[Availability]
The package jigit is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package jigit build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jigit|jigit]]

[Rationale]
- The package jigit is required in Ubuntu main for libisofs (in turn needed for usb-creator)
- The package jigit will not generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base, but is important/helpful still because Debian is still using this file format to
  publish its releases.
- The package jigit is a new runtime dependency of package usb-creator that
  we already support

- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
  package jigit 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
- Binary mkjigsnap in sbin => this requires security review
- 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
  (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)

[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://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jigit/+bug
   => 2 bugs open for years, one incomplete and one briefly asking for multiarch support.
   - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=jigit
   => Only 3 that are not important but they have been open for years (one from 2004!)
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package does not run a test at build time because no testsuite exists upstream
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because no testsuite exists upstream
- The package can be tested at autopktest time by adding a test that is actually described in libjte/test/demo.c file and that will be added before the promotion (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/606034822/jigit_1.22-3build1_1.22-3ubuntu1~ppa0.diff.gz)

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is not present and there is nothing explaining how to create the source tar: a bug report
  from 2013 proposed to add a watchfile but the maintainer refused it (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=697700)
- 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://launchpadlibrarian.net/464118381/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.jigit_1.22-3build1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- Please attach the full output you have got from
  `lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug.

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be Foundations
- Team is already subscribed to the package
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20220317-jammy/+sourcepub/13319228/+listing-archive-extra)
