[Availability]
The package libset-intspan-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libset-intspan-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: <all> (perl package)
Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl|libset-intspan-perl]]
[Rationale]
- The package libset-intspan-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libstring-copyright-perl (dependency of licensecheck)
- The package libset-intspan-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of our user base, but is important/helpful still because it comes as a requirement for licensecheck.
- The package libset-intspan-perl is a new runtime dependency of package libstring-copyright-perl that we already support (as a dependency of licensecheck)
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries (it's a Perl library)
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
(filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
$ apt install libset-intspan-perl
$ perl -e 'use Set::IntSpan'
$ echo $?
> 0
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many and long term critical bugs open
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libset-intspan-perl
- 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, link to build log:
[[https://launchpadlibrarian.net/579091575/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.libset-intspan-perl_1.19-2_BUILDING.txt.gz|build-logs]]
- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
this amd64 list of architectures, link to test logs:
[[https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-jammy/jammy/amd64/libs/libset-intspan-perl/20220108_062845_12f04@/log.gz|autopkgtest-logs]]
- The package does have no failing autopkgtests right now
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- The packaging was old but the Debian maintainers kindly accepted to roll out
a new version in Debian unstable with patches to the packaging from the last few years.
- Output to recent lintian run
Running lintian...
E: libset-intspan-perl changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file jammy
W: libset-intspan-perl: changelog-distribution-does-not-match-changes-file (unstable != jammy)
W: libset-intspan-perl changes: distribution-and-changes-mismatch jammy unstable
W: libset-intspan-perl source: newer-standards-version 4.6.0 (current is 4.5.1)
I: Lintian run was successful.
- 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 be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
questions higher than medium
- Packaging and build is easy, content of d/rules:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
[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 Foundations 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
[Background information]
- The Package description explains the package well
- Upstream Name is Set-IntSpan
- Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/release/Set-IntSpan |
