Package: libfile-sharedir-perl
[Availability]
The package libfile-sharedir-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libfile-sharedir-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl
[Rationale]
The package libfile-sharedir-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libfile-sharedir-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dmarc-perl
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )
The package libfile-sharedir-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later than 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:
- (0) https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libfile-sharedir-perl
- (0) https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?q=&package=libfile-sharedir-perl
- (0) https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libfile-sharedir-perl
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 module to locate non-code (only-read) files during run-time: The intent of File::ShareDir is to provide a companion to Class::Inspector and File::HomeDir, modules that take a process that is well-known by advanced Perl developers but gets a little tricky, and make it more available to the larger
Perl community.
[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://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/+bug
- Debian (0) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libfile-sharedir-perl
However, in upstream there are not a lot of activity.

- Last answered issue: Sep 22, 2020
- Issues without answer: 2
- last fixed/closed issue: Oct 21, 2020
- last merged PR: Jun 24, 2018
The package hasn't 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://launchpadlibrarian.net/634873129/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libfile-sharedir-perl_1.118-3_BUILDING.txt.gz :

The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/tree/debian/control#n5 -),
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://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libfile-sharedir-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 test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest package that is not
build for i386 since focal.

Upstream Name is File-ShareDir .
Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/dist/File-ShareDir

It had a bug filed against it in Launchpad, for syncing the Debian package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/+bug/276494
It had several bugs filed in Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=libfile-sharedir-perl, handled in a timely manner.

The package hasn't 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://launchpadlibrarian.net/634873129/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libfile-sharedir-perl_1.118-3_BUILDING.txt.gz :
dh_auto_test
make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1

The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/tree/debian/control#n5 -),
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://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libfile-sharedir-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 test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest 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 <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> ( https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/tree/debian/control#n2)
