A previous MIR bug was open back in March 2023 (see LP: #2009715)
[Availability]
The package libtraceevent is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libtraceevent build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtraceevent
[Rationale]
- The package libtraceevent is a runtime dependency of trace-cmd (MIR bug: LP: #2051850)
- The package libtraceevent is required in Ubuntu main no later than Feb 29 2024 (Feature Freeze) due to the will to have performance/tracing tools in Noble (LTS).
[Security]
- Nothing was found in the CVE database https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libtraceevent
- Also nothing was found in the OSS security mailing list archive.
- No CVE in the Ubuntu security tracker https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=libtraceevent
- Nor in the Debian security tracker https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libtraceevent
- 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. This is a lib only used by trace-cmd and kernelshark (GUI for trace-cmd).
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtraceevent/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libtraceevent
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs the upstream tests during build time.
- The package runs an autopkgtest, but it is a "superficial" one. It is currently passing on amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x:
- https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-noble/noble/amd64/libt/libtraceevent/20240115_221359_8442e@/log.gz
- https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-noble/noble/arm64/libt/libtraceevent/20240115_113513_e76ab@/log.gz
- https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-noble/noble/armhf/libt/libtraceevent/20240115_113122_474d5@/log.gz
- https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-noble/noble/ppc64el/libt/libtraceevent/20240115_113712_351bb@/log.gz
- https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-noble/noble/s390x/libt/libtraceevent/20240115_114524_e76ab@/log.gz
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- One lintian override was recently added for libtraceevent1-plugin, it is undocumented and running lintian without it yield the same result. So I should contact sudipmuk to know if this is still useful.
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf questions
- Packaging and build is easy: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtraceevent/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]
- The owning team will be Foundations and I have their acknowledgement for that commitment
- The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- This package has been built recently https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtraceevent/1:1.8.2-1/+build/27644653
- A static libtraceevent.a library is being built and shipped in libtraceevent-dev
[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well.
