Just a note to say that deja-dup's packaging has been updated to drop the python-rackspace-cloudfiles and python-boto Recommends and updated to use Ubuntu One. So these can go into main when reviewed.
** Description changed: ::Note that I've dropped old description to focus on MIR requirements:: For Ubuntu 11.10, the plan was to add the Deja Dup backup tool to the default desktop install. This is a MIR request to add deja-dup and its dependencies into main. - Note that deja-dup should not yet go into main. I'm filing this now so - that the packages can be pre-reviewed. I'm waiting for Ubuntu One - support to land in duplicity so that I can remove the python-boto and - python-rackspace-cloudfiles Recommends. Thus, note that those do not - need to be reviewed as MIRs because they won't be there when deja-dup - hits main. - Home pages: - * Deja Dup: https://launchpad.net/deja-dup - * Duplicity: https://launchpad.net/duplicity - * librsync: http://librsync.sourceforge.net/ + * Deja Dup: https://launchpad.net/deja-dup + * Duplicity: https://launchpad.net/duplicity + * librsync: http://librsync.sourceforge.net/ Availability: All are in universe and successfully build on all architectures Rationale: Needed to meet 'Deja Dup by default' blueprint approved for oneiric Security: - * No CVEs for deja-dup itself. - * Duplicity has one old CVE (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=duplicity) - * Quite a few for rsync (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=rsync) but as far as I can tell, they all deal with the client program or daemon, not the library. - * No daemons or privileged binaries installed. + * No CVEs for deja-dup itself. + * Duplicity has one old CVE (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=duplicity) + * Quite a few for rsync (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=rsync) but as far as I can tell, they all deal with the client program or daemon, not the library. + * No daemons or privileged binaries installed.
