[Bug 1956444] Re: [MIR] libset-intspan-perl

 

** Description changed:

- TBD
+ [Availability]
+ The package libset-intspan-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
+ The package libset-intspan-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
+ It currently builds and works for architectures: <all> (perl package)
+ Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl|libset-intspan-perl]]
+ 
+ [Rationale]
+  - The package libset-intspan-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libstring-copyright-perl (dependency of licensecheck)
+  - The package libset-intspan-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of our user base, but is important/helpful still because it comes as a requirement for licensecheck.
+  - The package libset-intspan-perl is a new runtime dependency of package libstring-copyright-perl that we already support (as a dependency of licensecheck)
+ 
+ [Security]
+  - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
+ 
+  - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries (it's a Perl library)
+  - 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
+ 
+     $ apt install libset-intspan-perl
+     $ perl -e 'use Set::IntSpan'
+     $ echo $?
+     > 0
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - maintenance]
+  - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many and long term critical bugs open
+    - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl/+bug
+    - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libset-intspan-perl
+  - 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/579091575/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.libset-intspan-perl_1.19-2_BUILDING.txt.gz|build-logs]]
+ 
+  - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
+    this amd64 list of architectures, link to test logs:
+    [[https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-jammy/jammy/amd64/libs/libset-intspan-perl/20220108_062845_12f04@/log.gz|autopkgtest-logs]]
+ 
+  - The package does have no failing autopkgtests right now
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - packaging]
+  - debian/watch is present and works
+ 
+  - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
+  - The packaging was old but the Debian maintainers kindly accepted to roll out
+    a new version in Debian unstable with patches to the packaging from the last few years.
+  - Output to recent lintian run
+ 
+     Running lintian...
+     E: libset-intspan-perl changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file jammy
+     W: libset-intspan-perl: changelog-distribution-does-not-match-changes-file (unstable != jammy)
+     W: libset-intspan-perl changes: distribution-and-changes-mismatch jammy unstable
+     W: libset-intspan-perl source: newer-standards-version 4.6.0 (current is 4.5.1)
+     
+     I: Lintian run was successful.
+ 
+  - Lintian overrides are not present
+ 
+  - 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 higher than medium
+ 
+  - Packaging and build is easy, content of d/rules:
+ 
+     #!/usr/bin/make -f
+ 
+     %:                                                            
+             dh $@
+ 
+ [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]
+  - Owning Team will be Foundations team
+  - Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
+ 
+  - This does not use static builds
+  - This does not use vendored code
+ 
+ [Background information]
+  - The Package description explains the package well
+  - Upstream Name is Set-IntSpan
+  - Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/release/Set-IntSpan
