[Availability]

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

The package ruby-mime-types 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|ruby-mime-types]]

[Rationale]

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

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

[Security]

Required links:

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

3 CVEs were found searching for the gem name, however, all of them related to
PHP related issues, not the ruby gem.

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

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

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).

[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/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ruby-mime-types

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/620973258/buildlog_ubuntu-kinetic-amd64.ruby-mime-types_3.3.1-2_BUILDING.txt.gz

The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on this list of
architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x.

Link to test logs: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/ruby-mime-types

The package does not have failing autopkgtests right now. Only in i386, where
some dependencies are not installable.

[Quality assurance - packaging]

debian/watch is present and works.

debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field.

Lintian overrides are not present. Here is the output of `lintian --pedantic`
against Kinetic version:

W: ruby-mime-types source: newer-standards-version 4.6.1 (current is 4.6.0.1)
P: ruby-mime-types source: update-debian-copyright 2008 vs 2022 [debian/copyright:12]
P: ruby-mime-types source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file mime-types.gemspec line 19 is 1017 characters long (>512)
P: ruby-mime-types source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file test/fixture/json.json line 1 is 1004 characters long (>512)

[Standards compliance]

This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy.

Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion.
