Public bug reported: Checking against https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements:
1: libiscsi is already available in universe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libiscsi ===== 2: Rationale: ===== a) iSCSI has become the de-facto standard for connecting infrastructure servers to SAN/NAS storage b) qemu, which is already in main, depends on libiscsi for iscsi support: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1271573 3: Security ===== a) no entries found in CVE database b) no entries found in Secunia database c) no entries found in Ubuntu CVE tracker d) executable security: NO executables which have the suid or sgid bit set. NO executables in /sbin, /usr/sbin. NO packages which install daemons (/etc/init.d/*) NO packages which open privileged ports (ports < 1024). NO add-ons and plugins to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, UI skins, etc) 4: QA ===== a) no configuration required - installs shared library and supporting tools for inquiring iSCSI portals and targets b) no debconf questions c) no long-term outstanding important bugs d) Debian PTS: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libi/libiscsi.html * 4 lintian warning about missing manpages for 2 binaries in the support tools * 2 buildd log warnings * 1 bug that a newer upstream version is available Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libiscsi/+bugs * 1 NEW bug complaining that libiscsi doesn't work with multipath on EMC Upstream: * no open bugs: https://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi/issues?page=1&state=open e) Maintenance in Debian/Ubuntu is acceptable. However, several newer upstream releases are available: https://sites.google.com/site/libiscsitarballs/libiscsitarballs/ --> this needs to be fixed in Debian. Upstream development is very active. f) no exotic hardware g) test-tool is available, but not run during build because it requires a running iSCSI portal / target, which cannot be expected to be available on a build server h) debian/watch does *not* exist, but debian/copyright contains a link to github --> this needs to be fixed in Debian 5.) UI standards: n/a ===== 6.) Dependencies: ===== * shared library has no external dependencies except for libc6, and only build-deps on debhelper and libpopt-dev which are already in main * binaries depend on the shared library libiscsi1 which is created out of this source package, and libpopt0, which is already in main 7.) Standards compliance ===== No issues found except for missing man pages for the support tools and some minor buildd warnings, already mentioned in 4d) 8.) Maintenance ===== Debian maintenance seems to be OK, so syncing should be enough. 9.) Background info ===== See 2.)
