libfonts-java review:
* Does it FTBFS currently? It builds fine with universe enabled, but has a lot
of build dependencies from universe: libbase-java (from libbase) libitext-java
libjcommon-java libloader-java (from libloader)
* Does it have a test suite? it does, with test failures
* Does Ubuntu carry a delta? no
* Does it have a bug subscriber in Ubuntu? no
* Does it have a watch file? yes, but it is broken: "libfonts-java: remote
site does not even have current version"
* Is its update history slow or sporadic? It hasn't received an update in
almost a year
* Is the current release packaged? No. upstream is at 1.2.5 but Ubuntu has
1.1.6
* Will entering main make it harder for the people currently keeping it up to
date? no
* Lintian warnings: it has lintian warnings and errors in the source and
binaries
* Is debian/rules a mess? it is readable enough
* Errors/warnings during the build: yes. javadoc, but also a deprecation
warning:
[javac]
/PKGBUILDDIR/source/org/pentaho/reporting/libraries/fonts/FontException.java:42:
warning: [deprecation] StackableException(String,Exception) in
StackableException has been deprecated
* Incautious use of malloc/sprintf: n/a. I poked around at the code and from
what I saw, it seems to be coded well.
* Uses of sudo or LD_LIBRARY_PATH: no
* Important bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu: no
* Does the package have a CVE history? no
In general I am not comfortable with promoting libfonts-java in its current
form. The package is not in good shape, is out of date and has not seen any
maintenance for almost a year in Debian. The good news is that there are very
few bugs and upstream is active. Conditional ACK provided:
* the new upstream version is used
* the testsuite failures are addressed
* a bug subscriber is created (esp. since we will likely jump ahead of Debian)
* fix the watch file
* fix the lintian errors and warnings
* address the build errors and warnings
