[Bug 2007279] Re: [MIR] libdigest-md5-file-perl & libswitch-perl (dependency of devscripts)

 

** Description changed:

- TDB by foundations.
+ [Availability]
+ - The package libdigest-md5-file-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
+ - The package libdigest-md5-file-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
+ - It currently builds and works for architetcures: all
+ - Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdigest-md5-file-perl]]
  
- libdigest-md5-file-perl is a tiny extension of the core language's
- libdigest-md5-perl module to calculate the md5 sum of files. No further
- MIR dependencies expected.
+ [Rationale]
+ - The package libdigest-md5-file-perl is required in Ubuntu main for devscripts
+ - The package libdigest-md5-file-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
+   our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is needed by devscripts, a
+   package very commonly used by Debian and Ubuntu developers, and also some power users
+   who wish to build their own packages.
+ - It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
+   package libdigest-md5-file-perl in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
  
- libswitch-perl is a tiny module, also maintained by the Debian Perl
- Group. It has been in main in the past and is looking good overall, but
- the MIR team requested that a new template should be filed for this
- before promotion, as the old MIR is very old and didn't apply all the
- new (stricter) rules. see LP: #785607
+ [Security]
+ - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
+ - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
+ - 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
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - maintenance]
+ - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does
+   not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
+   - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdigest-md5-file-perl/+bug
+   - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libdigest-md5-file-perl
+   - Upstream's bug tracker: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Digest-MD5-File
+ 
+ [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/514920504/buildlog_ubuntu-hirsute-amd64.libdigest-md5-file-perl_0.08-1.1_BUILDING.txt.gz
+ 
+ - The package does not run an autopkgtest because it is not implemented
+ 
+ [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
+ - Please link to a recent build log of the package
+   https://launchpadlibrarian.net/652669289/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libdigest-md5-file-perl_0.08-1.1ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz
+ - Please attach the full output you have got from
+   `lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug:
+   See the attachment libdigest-md5-file-perl.lintian.log
+ - Lintian overrides are present, but ok because there is a false-positive
+   with first-person pronoun used in the description where it is actually
+   the `my` syntax in Perl.
+ - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
+ - The package will not be installed by default
+ - Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
+   https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdigest-md5-file-perl/tree/debian/rules
+ 
+ [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
+ - This package is not rust based
+ 
+ - The package was test rebuilt in PPA or sbuild recently:
+   https://launchpadlibrarian.net/652669289/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libdigest-md5-file-perl_0.08-1.1ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz
+

+ The Package description explains the package well
+ Upstream Name is Digest-MD5-File
+ Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/dist/Digest-MD5-File
