Bug Description
[Availability]
The packages libisoburn, libburn, libisofs are already in Ubuntu universe.
The packages libisoburn, libburn, libisofs build for the architectures they are designed to work on.
They currently build and work for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
Link to packages:

[Rationale]
- The package libisoburn is required in Ubuntu main for usb-creator, and libburn and libisofs are dependencies of libisoburn.
- The package libisoburn will generally be useful for a large part of
our user base as usb-creator is seeded
- Package libisoburn covers the same use case as genisoimage, but is better
because contrary to genisoimage, it is actively maintained upstream, upstream engages with launchpad issues and
we have been using xorriso for years now instead of genisoimage in the official Ubuntu image pipeline,
thereby we want to replace it.
- The package libisoburn 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 libisoburn 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
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Packages does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The packages work well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The packages are maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and have not any
long term critical bugs open
libisoburn:
- Ubuntu https:/
=> only 1 bug from 2021 on Focal image on ppc64el which received lots of answers
- Debian https:/
=> only 4 wishlist items
libburn:
- Ubuntu https:/
=> 0 bug
- Debian https:/
=> 0 bug
libisofs:
- Ubuntu https:/
=> 0 bug
- Debian https:/
=> 0 bug
- The packages do not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
libisoburn:
- The package runs *one very simple test* at build time, if it fails it makes the build fail, link to build log (https:/
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because the official test suite was not enabled.
- The package can be tested by enabling the "releng" testsuite that is present in the package that we will enable before the promotion: https:/
libburn:
- The package does not run a test at build time because it relies on "releng" testsuite enabled in libisoburn.
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it relies on "releng" testsuite enabled in libisoburn.
- The package will take advantage of the enablement of "releng" testsuite in libisoburn.
libisofs:
- The package does not run a test at build time because it relies on "releng" testsuite enabled in libisoburn.
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it relies on "releng" testsuite enabled in libisoburn.
- The package will take advantage of the enablement of "releng" testsuite in libisoburn.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- Those packages do not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors:
libisoburn:
- Please link to a recent build log of the package https:/
P: libisoburn source: maintainer-
P: libisoburn source: package-
P: libisoburn source: silent-
P: libisoburn source: trailing-whitespace debian/control (line 154)
- Lintian overrides are present (https:/
libburn:
- Please link to a recent build log of the package https:/
P: libburn source: package-
P: libburn source: silent-
- Lintian overrides are present (https:/
libisofs:

W: libisofs source: superfluous-

P: libisofs source: package-
P: libisofs source: silent-
=> the warnings only link to entries in debian/copyright that point to non-existing files in the package.
- Lintian overrides are not present
- Those packages do not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- Those packages have no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
- Those packages will be installed by default, but do not ask debconf
questions higher than medium
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules

[UI standards]
- libisofs and libburn packages produce a binary package whose application is end-user facing and translation is not present.
- End-user applications without desktop file, not needed because those are very niche applications that most users won't ever use.
[Dependencies]
- There are further dependencies that are not yet in main, MIR for them is at jigit (TODO)
- There are further dependencies that are not yet in main, the MIR
process for them is handled as part of this bug here since libburn and libisofs are part of the same upstream project.
[Standards compliance]
- Those packages correctly follow FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be Foundations
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the packages before promotion
- They do not use static builds
- They do not use vendored code
- The packages successfully built during the most recent test rebuild
