Bug Description
Package: libclass-
[Availability]
The package libclass-
The package libclass-
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https:/
[Rationale]
The package libclass-
The package libclass-
our user base, but is important/helpful still because libfile-
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https:/
The package libclass-
[Security]
No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past:
- (0) https:/
- (0) https:/
- (0) https:/
No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package does not expose any external endpoints.
Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...);
It's a Perl module that provides information about classes.
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs:
- Ubuntu (0) https:/
- Debian (0) https:/
- Upstream's bug tracker (2) https:/
+ Upstream's repo last activity: https:/
- last commit: in main, Dec 16, 2022
- Issues without answer: 1
- Updated issue/PR: Sep 3, 2023
- last fixed/closed/merged issue: Mar 28, 2019
- last merged PR: Dec 16, 2022
The package has not important/old open bugs on upstream.
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: https:/
dh_auto_test
make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils:
The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-
that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x), except on i386: https:/
The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the test depends on pkg-perl-
build for i386 since focal.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
debian/watch is present and works.
debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field : Debian Perl Group <email address hidden> ( https:/
This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- recent build log of the package https:/
- full output from `lintian --pedantic` :

This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies.
The package will not be installed by default.
Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules: https:/
[UI standards]
Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation).
[Dependencies]
There are not further dependencies that are not yet in main.
[Standards compliance]
This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy (4.1.3)
[Maintenance/Owner]
Owning Team will be Ubuntu Server Team.
Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion.
This does not use static builds.
This does not use vendored code.
This package is not rust based.
The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild : https:/
[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well.
Upstream Name is Class-Inspector .
Link to upstream project https:/
This has been in the archive since at least 2008 (Hoary, 1.06-1).
It had a bug filed against it in Launchpad, for promotion in Lucid: https:/

Review for Source Package: libclass-
[Summary]
MIR team ACK. Do not forget to add the team subscription.
This does not need a security review
List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: libclass-
Notes:
Required TODO:
- 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 after .
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]
- no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
- libregexp-
- all dependencies can be found in `seeded-in-ubuntu` (already in main)
- none of the (potentially auto-generated) dependencies (Depends
and Recommends) that are present after build are not in main
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
more tests now.
[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries
OK:
- 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
[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, ...)
- this makes appropriate (for its exposure) use of established risk
mitigation features (dropping permissions, using temporary environments,
restricted users/groups, seccomp, systemd isolation features,
apparmor, ...)
[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
Problems:
Note: the autopkgtests are failing on i386 as depends on pkg-perl-
[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
- no massive Lintian warnings
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list
[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
