[Bug 1980662] Re: [MIR] lib*-perl for lintian 2.115
[Availability]
The package libmldbm-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libmldbm-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: all (perl package)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmldbm-perl
[Rationale]
The package libmldbm-perl is required in Ubuntu main for lintian
The package libmldbm-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because
- The package libmldbm-perl is a new runtime dependency of package lintian that
we already support
- The package libmldbm-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later than 2022-08-25
due to Kinetic 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
(filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install - it is a library
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- 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://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmldbm-perl/2.05-3/+build/23856967
- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x, link to test logs
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libmldbm-perl
- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
two warnings https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=libmldbm-perl
the last uploader ommitted 'Team upload' or 'Non-maintainer upload'
- Please link to a recent build log of the package
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmldbm-perl/2.05-3/+build/23856967
- Full output of `lintian --pedantic`
E: libmldbm-perl changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable
P: libmldbm-perl source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root [debian/control]
P: libmldbm-perl source: update-debian-copyright 2013 vs 2022 [debian/copyright:14]
- 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 not be installed by default
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libmldbm-perl/-/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, the MIR
process for them is handled as part of this bug here.
Recommends: libfreezethaw-perl
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be Ubuntu Foundations
- 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 has been built in the archive more recently than the last
test rebuild
