Public bug reported:

Package: libfile-sharedir-perl

[Availability]
The package libfile-sharedir-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libfile-sharedir-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl

[Rationale]
The package libfile-sharedir-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libfile-sharedir-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because it 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 libfile-sharedir-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later
than through the same scheduled requested for the  libmail-dmarc-perl
promotion, since libmail-dmarc-perl depends on it.

[Security]
No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past:
  - (0) https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libfile-sharedir-perl
  - (0) https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?q=&package=libfile-sharedir-perl
  - (0) https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libfile-sharedir-perl
No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package does not expose any external endpoints.
Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...);
It's a  module to locate non-code (only-read) files during run-time:  The intent of File::ShareDir is to provide a companion to Class::Inspector and  File::HomeDir, modules that take a process that is well-known by advanced Perl  developers but gets a little tricky, and make it more available to the larger
Perl community.

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs:
   - Ubuntu (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/+bug
   - Debian (0) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libfile-sharedir-perl
However, in upstream there are not a lot of activity.

     + Upstream's repo last activity: https://github.com/perl5-utils/File-ShareDir)
       - last commit: in master, Oct 21, 2020
       - Last answered issue: Sep 22, 2020
       - Issues without answer: 2
       - last fixed/closed issue: Oct 21, 2020
       - last merged PR: Jun 24, 2018

The package hasn't 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://launchpadlibrarian.net/634873129/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libfile-sharedir-perl_1.118-3_BUILDING.txt.gz :

  dh_auto_test

The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/tree/debian/control#n5 -),
that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x), except on i386: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libfile-sharedir-perl

The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest package that is not
build for i386 since focal.

[Quality assurance - packaging]
debian/watch is present and works.

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 debian/rules:
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-
perl/tree/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:
 - libclass-inspector-perl

[Standards compliance]
This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy (4.5.0)

[Maintenance/Owner]
Owning Team will be Ubuntu Server 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 successfully built during the most recent test rebuild :
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
rebuild-20230830-mantic/+build/26597085/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-mantic-
amd64.libfile-sharedir-perl_1.118-3_BUILDING.txt.gz

[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well.
Upstream Name is File-ShareDir .
Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/dist/File-ShareDir

This has been in the archive since at least 2008 (Intrepid, 0.05-1.1).
This existed in main in 2013 (Trusty), but was demoted after that.

It had a bug filed against it in Launchpad, for syncing the Debian package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/+bug/276494
It had several bugs filed in Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=libfile-sharedir-perl, handled in a timely manner.

On 2020 the last version of the package was released on upstream, with
fixes for previous version released 2 years before that.
