[Bug 2038929] Re: [MIR] libnet-idn-encode-perl (as libmail-dmarc-perl dependency)
** Description changed:
[MIR] libnet-idn-encode-perl (as libmail-dmarc-perl dependency)
Package: libnet-idn-encode-perl
[Availability]
The package libnet-idn-encode-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libnet-idn-encode-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnet-idn-encode-perl
[Rationale]
The package libnet-idn-encode-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libnet-idn-encode-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dmarc-perl
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )
The package libnet-idn-encode-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later
than through the same scheduled requested for the libmail-dmarc-perl
promotion, since libmail-dmarc-perll depends on it.

The package has not important/old open bugs on upstream.
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: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnet-idn-encode-perl/2.500-3/+build/24599559/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libnet-idn-encode-perl_2.500-3_BUILDING.txt.gz :
dh_auto_test
/usr/bin/perl Build test --verbose 1
The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnet-idn-encode-perl/tree/debian/control#n5 -),
that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
all of the architectures: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libnet-idn-encode-perl
[Quality assurance - packaging]
debian/watch is present and works.
debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field : Debian Perl Group
