[MIR] libnma

[Sebastien Bacher]

* Availability

The library was provided by network-manager-applet and split to be standalone upstream and in Debian, autosync failed since the new source takes over existing binaries so there is no build in Ubuntu yet

* Rationale

As described before, it's a split of an existing library to its own source. The applet is a legacy component while the library isn't.

* Security
No known security issues

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libnma
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnma/+cve

* Quality assurance
- desktop-packages is subscribed to the package
- the library has a .symbols
- no downstream reports, only one minor upstream one

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnma
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libnma
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnma/-/issues

There is one test which is part of the build and working, no autopkgtest. That's not ideal but also not different from the current situation in network-manager-applet which is already in main

* Dependencies
The dependencies for the library are in main.

* Standards compliance
4.5.0, using dh13, simple packaging

* Maintenance

it turns out that libnma0 is already in main, because it was previously.
We need to promote only src:libnma and libnma-common

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

"only" is relative.
libnma0 is from Source: network-manager-applet
But libnma-common is Source: libnma

So this would be a new source.

Is this a split package and all content was reviewed before?
The names sound similar but I'm not aware of the context here.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Christian, as stated as the start of the description that's existing code which was in main in netwok-manager-applet and has been moved to a standalone component (since the applet is deprecated but the lib is not), so yes the code has been reviewed in some form at some point

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Hello, yes, it is the same project, but libnma moved forward while the embedded code is some versions back.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

The package looks sane and small. Copyright up to date, desktop-packages subscribed, no additional warnings or regression compared to current n-m-applet which is in main.

ACK from the MIR team.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

and it migrated! thanks!
