[Availability]

The package ruby-mime-types-data is already in Ubuntu universe.

The package ruby-mime-types-data build for the architectures it is designed to work on.

It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (arch:all)

Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-mime-types-data|ruby-mime-types-data]]

[Rationale]

The package ruby-mime-types-data is required in Ubuntu main for ruby-mime-types
promotion which is needed by ruby-ethon, and ruby-ethon is a runtime dependency
of pcs (the main reason for this promotion).

Ideally, we expect that ruby-mime-types-data (and pcs) will be promoted in the
Kinetic development cycle. The idea is to promote only the
ruby-mime-types-data binary.

[Security]

Required links:

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=mime-types-data

Nothing was found searching for the gem name.

Nothing was found searching in the OSS security mailing list archive.

https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=ruby-mime-types-data

Also nothing found in the Ubuntu security tracker.

No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.

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.

[Quality assurance - maintenance]

The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has no bugs open:

- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-mime-types-data/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ruby-mime-types-data

The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support.

[Quality assurance - testing]

The package does not run a test at build time because this is just data, not
code to be tested.

The package does not run an autopkgtest because of what was explained above.

This package is minimal and will be tested in a more wide reaching
solution context of pcs, details about this testing are here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcs/+bug/1953341

[Quality assurance - packaging]

debian/watch is present and works.

debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field.

`lintian --pedantic` output:

P: ruby-mime-types-data source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root [debian/control]
P: ruby-mime-types-data source: update-debian-copyright 2015 vs 2022 [debian/copyright:10]
P: ruby-mime-types-data source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file data/mime-types.json line 1 is 345873 characters long (>512)

Lintian overrides are not present.

This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.

The package will not be installed by default.

Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules:
