Miriam España Acebal (mirespace) wrote : [MIR] promote libdbd-sqlite3-perl as a libmail-dmarc-perl dependency

[Availability]
The package libdbd-sqlite3-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libdbd-sqlite3-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdbd-sqlite3-perl

[Rationale]
The package libdbd-sqlite3-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libdbd-sqlite3-perl will not generally be useful for
a large part of our user base, but is important/helpful still
because libmail-dmarc-perl requires it as a runtime dependency
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )

The package libdbd-sqlite3-perl is required in Ubuntu main through the same scheduled requested
for the libmail-dmarc-perl promotion, since libmail-dmarc-perl depends on it.

[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.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package 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/Upstream and does
not have critical/long term open bugs in Ubunto nor in Debian:
 - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdbd-sqlite3-perl/+bug
 - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libdbd-sqlite3-perl

The package has no important open bugs on upstream: https://github.com/DBD-SQLite/DBD-SQLite/issues
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://launchpadlibrarian.net/636252037/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libdbd-sqlite3-perl_1.72-1_BUILDING.txt.gz :
   dh_auto_test
 make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1

The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x), except on i386: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libdbd-sqlite3-perl

The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the package the test depends on pkg-perl-tools package that is not
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>

This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
  - recent build log of the package: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/636252037/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libdbd-sqlite3-perl_1.72-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
  - full output from `lintian --pedantic` :
    ❯ lintian -EvIL +pedantic --show-overrides ../libdbd-sqlite3-perl_1.72-1.dsc
      W: libdbd-sqlite3-perl source: newer-standards-version 4.6.1 (current is 4.6.0.1)
      X: libdbd-sqlite3-perl source: debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature [debian/watch]
      P: libdbd-sqlite3-perl source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file lib/DBD/SQLite/Constants.pm line 724 is 583 characters long (>512)
  - 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 not be installed by default.

Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules : https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdbd-sqlite3-perl/tree/debian/rules

[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]
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.

Vendored code present is the source code for SQLITE (https://sqlite.org/download.html)
The Ubuntu Server Team is aware of the implications of vendored code and (as
alerted by the security team) commits to provide updates and backports
to the security team for any affected vendored code for the lifetime
of the release (including ESM).

This package is not rust based

The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20230515-lunar-v3/+build/26135153
