Bug Description
[Availability]
The package langtable is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package langtable build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (it's an arch all binary)
Link to package https:/
[Rationale]
- The package langtable is required in Ubuntu main as a new gnome-desktop library Depends
- The package langtable will be of use for internationaliz
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
should go universe->main instead of this.
- The package langtable is required in Ubuntu main no later than February 29th due to Noble's 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).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- 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/
have no bug reported downstream and only few minor ones upstream
- Ubuntu https:/
- Debian https:/
- Upstream's bug tracker, 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
it makes the build fail, link to build log https:/
- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x, https:/
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer
- This package only has minor lintian warnings
# lintian --pedantic langtable_
W: langtable source: no-nmu-in-changelog [debian/
W: langtable source: source-
W: python3-langtable: spelling-
- 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.
- 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 debian/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]
- The owning team will be desktop-packages and I have their acknowledgement for that commitment
- The future owning team is already subscribed to the package
- This does not use static builds
- The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last test rebuild
[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well

Review for Source Package: langtabtle
[Summary]
MIR team ACK
This does not need a security review
List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: python3-langtable
Specific binary packages built, but NOT to be promoted to main: <None>
Notes:
- The package should get a team bug subscriber before being promoted
[Rationale, Duplication and Ownership]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
A team is committed to own long term maintenance of this package.
The rationale given in the report seems valid and useful for Ubuntu
[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
- Does not include vendored code
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.
- does have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest
- This does not need special HW for build or test
- no new python2 dependency
- Python package, but using dh_python
Problems: None
[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 (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- 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
- 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
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (the language has no direct MM)
- 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
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- not part of the UI for extra checks
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?
Problems: None
