** Description changed: [Availability] Available in Ubuntu since forever [Rationale] This is now a dependency of a package Mir produces; specifically libmirwayland-bin (and, transitively, libmirwayland-dev). [Security] No CVEs found(!) Library only; ships no suid binaries or daemons. It's a wrapper around libxml2, so inherits any of those security bugs, but we already support libxml2 in main. [Quality assurance] No serious bugs open in either Ubuntu or Debian. [Dependencies] Only libc, libstc++, the glibmm C++ wrapper and libxml2; all in main [Standards compliance] Relatively up to date. No serious lintian warnings except for an embedded jquery (oops!). [Maintenance] Maintained by the GNOME team in Debian; it's a part of the GNOME platform. It's missing the latest series of releases (with a new ABI: 3.0); I shall update this for 20.04, but it shouldn't be necessary for Eoan. [Background information] - We needed a C++ XML parser for some Wayland work in Mir; there doesn't appear to be an existing C++ XML parser in main, and this is a GNOME-supported C++ wrapper around libxml2 found in main. + We needed a C++ XML parser for some Wayland work in Mir; there doesn't appear to be an existing C++ XML parser in main, and this is a GNOME-supported C++ wrapper around libxml2. + + If this MIR is at all controversial we *could* instead demote + libmirwayland-dev and libmirwayland-bin to Universe; they should only + ever be used as build dependencies.
