Public bug reported: Note: Both mecab and MySQL have a dependency on mecab-ipadic, so the request is for both mecab and mecab-ipadic
[Availability] mecab and mecab-ipadic are in universe/misc (they are part of the same piece of software with upstream source https://github.com/taku910/mecab, but separate source packages) [Rationale] Mecab is used by MySQL for Japanese text parsing (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-search-mecab.html), and is a build-dependency for Upstream/Debian MySQL packages. Since it is currently in universe, we maintain a diff for Ubuntu that removes this dependency (also removing the plugin). Including mecab and mecab-ipadic in main would let us include the text parsing features and allow us to drop the diff between Debian and Ubuntu for MySQL. The package is a simple language parsing tool that has very few changes (but packaging is kept up to date by the mantainers). [Security] - Only found CVE was http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3231 (affecting versions older than 0.96). This was patched in 0.95 package before version update. - No security relevant binaries [Quality assurance] - The packages are very simple, being just simple text parser util and csv files. - Only outstanding bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mecab/+bug/1469406 - Package itself hasn't changed since 2013, but packaging is kept up-to-date by maintainers - Package is missing d/watch and|or d/README.source [Dependencies] mecab depends on mecab-ipadic. Other dependencies are in main [Standards compliance] No issues reported by lintian, and package is synced directly from Debian. [Maintenance] Both packages are maintained by Natural Language Processing (Japanese) <[email protected]> Last few years have had little maintainer work except for keeping packaging up-to-date (new standards versions, vcs urls etc.). [Background information] - The mecab package provides Japanese text parsing (through library or stdin interface) - mecab-ipadic is an international phonetic alphabet (ipa) dictionary for mecab ** Affects: mecab (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mecab-ipadic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mecab-ipadic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Note: Both mecab and MySQL have a dependency on mecab-ipadic, so the request is for both mecab and mecab-ipadic [Availability] - mecab and mecab-ipadic are in universe/misc (they are part of the same piece of software with upstream source https://github.com/taku910/mecab, but separate source packages) + + mecab and mecab-ipadic are in universe/misc (they are part of the same + piece of software with upstream source https://github.com/taku910/mecab, + but separate source packages) [Rationale] + Mecab is used by MySQL for Japanese text parsing (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-search-mecab.html), and is a build-dependency for Upstream/Debian MySQL packages.
