Title: [MIR] libbpf (dependency of iproute2) Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libbpf package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: [Availability] libbpf | 0.1.0-1 | groovy/universe | source libbpf | 0.3-2 | hirsute/universe | source [Rationale] Libbpf is (or is about to become) a dependency for building iproute2 which already is in main. Using BPF is becoming more wide-spread. The library allows to load and use eBPF programs from user-space (functionality provided by the kernel). It is already maintained in main for Debian (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libbpf) [Security] Since the code is taken out of the Linux kernel, this should be treated similar to the kernel for security. Research uncovered no records about security issues. [Quality assurance] At this point there are no open bug reports against libbpf (except this one) in Ubuntu. Also no open bugs found in Debian. Project is taken from the kernel source and claims static analysis via LGTM and Coverty. Also has CI via Travis (https://travis-ci.com/github/libbpf/libbpf). Right now there are no dep-8 tests. Though potentially it should be possible to create those, would this really add additional benefit beyond having upstream CI? A test build on hirsute was showing no warnings beyond lintian complaining about things which would be changed if we had delta (unstable as series for example). Otherwise was clean. [Dependencies] libc6: main libelf1: main zlib1g: main [Standards compliance] $ lintian --pedantic libbpf_0.3-2.dsc P: libbpf source: no-homepage-field P: libbpf source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root [Maintenance] As this is only taking out code from the kernel into a separate library package, the maintenance effort should be minimal. Packaging is done in Debian and is synced into Ubuntu (no delta). [Background information] A discourse about why this is packaged outside the kernel can be found at https://lwn.net/Articles/836911/.
