[Availability]
The package wpebackend-fdo is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package wpebackend-fdo build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpebackend-fdo
[Rationale]
- The package wpebackend-fdo is required in Ubuntu main as a dependency of webkit2gtk. The dependency is optional but the default upstream and in other distributions and the only one upstream is really testing (turned out some of the issues we had previous cycle are because we aren't using the default backend, which also made a lower priority for upstream to work on fixes). Upstream is also planning to deprecate the nonwpe codepath.
We might also need to build with that backend on older series at some point due to the previous statement.
- The package wpebackend-fdo is required in Ubuntu main no later than aug 25 due to feature freeze
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- 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
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Ubuntu and Debian and has currently no reports
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpebackend-fdo/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=wpebackend-fdo
- 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 upstream doesn't have one. That's something we need to work on.
BLOCKER ^
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because upstream has no test and Debian didn't have some either. That's something we need to work on.
BLOCKER ^
We need to work on the testing story, backup plan is to write some manual test plans.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
-- There is only one lintian warning
# lintian --pedantic
P: wpebackend-fdo source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 12
12 isn't that old but we will work on updating to 13
- There is one lintian overrides for having the .so distributed in the library rather than the dev because browsers try to load the .so and it should be available.
The change was added in Debian to
https://salsa.debian.org/webkit-team/wpebackend-fdo/-/commit/07a67e57
- 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
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules https://salsa.debian.org/webkit-team/wpebackend-fdo/-/blob/master/debian/rules
[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)
[Dependencies]
- There are further dependencies that are not yet in main, MIR for them
is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwpe/+bug/1973031
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be desktop-packages
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild

BLOCKER ^
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because upstream has no test and Debian didn't have some either. If webkit2gtk is built with it as it default backend then the webkitgtk autopkgtests are going to exercise wpe, is that enough?
