** Description changed:
- [MIR] python-tabulate (dependency of cinder)
+ [Availability]
+ In universe
+
+ [Rationale]
+ Taken from the upstream commit that makes this change:
+
+ PrettyTable is no longer maintained and the last release was in 2013.
+ There are starting to be deprecation warnings emitted with newer Python
+ releases.
+
+ Various attempts to revive a fork haven't gained much traction. A common
+ recommendation is to move away from PrettyTable to tabulate. This
+ switches our usage to a close equivalent using that library instead.
+
+ [Security]
+ No security history
+
+ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=tabulate
+
+
+ [Quality assurance]
+ Package has unit tests which are run as part of the package build.
+
+ [Dependencies]
+ All in main
+
+ [Standards compliance]
+ OK-ish - simple package but not updated to latest Standards-Version
+
+ [Maintenance]
+ Not that well maintained in Debian - last update was an NMU in October 2019
to remove Py2 support. More recent updates in Ubuntu to bump version and
execute unit tests as part of package builld.
+
+ [Background information]
+ tabulate provides similar function to prettytable - however not all openstack
projects have made the switch and there are other reverse-depends in main for
python3-prettytable:
+
+ $ reverse-depends -c main python3-prettytable
+ Reverse-Depends
+ * ceph-common [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x]
+ * python3-automaton
+ * python3-blazarclient
+ * python3-ceilometerclient
+ * python3-cinder
+ * python3-cinderclient
+ * python3-cliff
+ * python3-futurist
+ * python3-glance
+ * python3-glanceclient
+ * python3-heatclient
+ * python3-magnumclient
+ * python3-manilaclient
+ * python3-monascaclient
+ * python3-nova
+ * python3-novaclient
+ * python3-oslo.upgradecheck
+ * python3-osprofiler
+ * python3-seamicroclient
+ * python3-senlinclient
+ * python3-troveclient
+
+ That said it formats output for python applications so would be
+ considered fairly low risk from a security perspective so having two
+ similar pkgs in main but be more palatable.
