** Description changed: Availability ============ Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian. Rationale ========= Ubuntu has shipped gnome-user-share for years but a key feature (and now its only feature) was broken because its required dependencies weren't installed (likely because of reluctance to ship Apache in the default install.) (LP: #536766) The feature, called Personal File Sharing, uses WebDAV to share files over the network. It needs apache2-bin and libapache2-mod-dnnsd. Those packages are not enough to actually run a web server. apache2 is already in main. I believe every other GNOME distro has shipped this feature and its required dependencies by default for several years. The Ubuntu Desktop team would like to ship this feature pre-installed. It won't actually be enabled until a user turns it on in Settings > Sharing > File Sharing. When turned on, the user's ~/Public folder is shared. A password can easily be set and the user can pick specific networks to share to. Security ======== No known security issues https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/mod-dnssd https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mod-dnssd/+cve Quality assurance ================= - - Please subscribe the Ubuntu Desktop Bugs team to this package. + - Ubuntu Desktop Bugs team is subscribed to this package. + - No tests https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mod-dnssd https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mod-dnssd I don't see a public bug tracker upstream. No upstream tests or autopkgtests. Dependencies ============ No universe binary dependencies Standards compliance ==================== 3.9.2, debhelper compat 5, old style debhelper rules + NMU in progress to update this. Maintenance =========== Last upstream release was in 2009: http://git.0pointer.net/mod_dnssd.git/log/ Last upload was a NMU in 2013. The package is basically orphaned in - Debian (I contacted the maintainer to see about formally orphaning it so - that we can do a QA upload to update its packaging to current best - practice.) + Debian.
