[Bug 1915695] Re: [MIR] libayatana-appindicator

 

@Didier, the tests have been fixed now in Debian and they changed to
make the build success conditional to the results so the remainign items
should be addressed, the fixed revision is in impish,
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/536381793/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-amd64
.libayatana-appindicator_0.5.5-3_BUILDING.txt.gz

** Description changed:

  * Availability
  
  It's available on the Ubuntu supported architectures
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/0.5.5-2
  
  The package is in sync with Debian
  
  * Rationale
  
  The source is a community maintained replacement for our current
  libappindicator. Debian has transitioned and we plan to follow their
  lead now, demoting libappindicator to universe until we can remove it
  from the archive.
  
  The binary to promote is libappindicator3-1
  
  The request is low priority, it's a target of opportunity transition, it
  doesn't need to land this cycle
  
  * Security
  
  There is no known security issues

  https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/libayatana-appindicator.html
  https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libayatana-appindicator
  
  * Quality assurance
  
  The desktop team is going to subscribe to the package
  
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bugs
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libayatana-appindicator
  
  The source depends on some outdated libraries but that's because there
  are still old applications needing it, that's already the case with our
  libappindicator so not a change of status
  
  The package enables upstream tests during the build but some are currently failing (and the Debian package doesn't stop the build on errors), that has been reported to Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982845 and needs to be resolved before promotion
  The package doesn't provide autopkgtests, which has been reported to Debian . That's not a regression compared to our current libappindicator
  
+ Update, the tests issue has been resolved in Debian and Impish now
