Public bug reported: Hi, per [1] requesting a MIR check for rdma-core.
1. Availability: The Package is in universe 15-3 at the moment, see [2] 2. Rationale: The demand is implicit as this is a transition from many source packes that made libibverbs, mlx4, mlx5, ... into one single source. That way upstream can release versions together and ensure better compatibility among them. Due to that the "demand" is implicit as already many packages depend on e..g libibverbs1 from the old sources. 3. Security: The code was checked before when it was split, so it should be ok. OTOH it can't be much more critical than this as those libs are used in networking (exposure) and to control rdma (high priv memory access) Of course merging code means this could now include code that before was not part of main. 4. Quality assurance: The code initially is equivalent to what we had before. So while I personally often wonder about the code quality there a lot of it was due to these split releases and incompatibilities between the versions. That is now gone and should not be worse than what we had before. 5. UI standards: only lib, no real UI. A few console tools - again - should be no worse than they were before. 6. Dependencies: I didn't had time to check as I file this due to a ping by Doko for now. Due to the source of many packages being combined to one it might have more dependencies. We should check that only those gets into main what was in main before e.g. libibverbs - we do not want any random rdma-core-helper tool in main as well. For example "ibacm" is not in main and I see no reason it would get into it - but since we do MIRs on source packages ... 7. Standards compliance: just passed Debian New queue, should be good in that regard. 8. Maintenance: rdma has been a complex thing to maintain all the time, the merge of these should have made it slightly better than it already was for the main inclusion of the sublibs before. 9. Background information: being a replacement it is kind of a special case. Essentially we are following a Debian transition here. See [3] for more details.
