[Summary]
MIR team Ack, a very small and clean python lib.
Note: thanks @Andreas for the thorough pre-check once filing - I was able to
confirm all that more easily that way.
[Duplication]
There is another package in main providing the same functionality, but the
approach here is to trade one for the other. So that is fine.
[Dependencies]
OK:
- no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not open a port
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not parse data formats
It mostly only passes from/to geoip C binding, not much handling in the
package itself. OTOH it structures and presents the data it gets as an
answer, but that as is a very controlled source.
Due to that IMHO it doesn't require a security review.
[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
- test suite fails will fail the build upon error.
- does have a test suite that runs as autopkgtest
- The package has a team bug subscriber
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?
- not a python package, no extra constraints to consider int hat regard
- no new python2 dependency
- Python package that is using dh_python
[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- Ubuntu does carry a delta, but it is reasonable and maintenance under control
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- d/watch is present and looks ok
- Upstream update history is good
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is good
- the current release is packaged
There is a 3.0 but it is rather new and has an incompatible change.
I'd not vote to merge 3.0 now but would that come naturally later in >=20.10
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings
- d/rules is rather clean
- Does not have Built-Using
[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (python)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- no embedded source copies
- not part of the UI for extra checks
