** Description changed: [MIR] iniparser (dependency of mtd-utils) + + + [Availability] + ✓ The package is in universe. + + [Rationale] + ✓ The package is a new build dependency of a package that we already + support (mtd-utils). + + [Security] + ✓ No CVEs + ✓ No openwall + ✓ No security relevant binaries + - The github has several items of interest - commits not yet in Debian / + Ubuntu that address buffer overflows, not-yet-merged fixes for missing + null pointer checks/memory leaks, plus more issues filed with typical C + code null checks / off by ones. Could be OK with some updates to + address the known issues. + + [Quality assurance] + ✓ Used package with minimal effort. Provides a doc package, and the + header file for the lib has the same content. API behaves mostly as + expected and was easy to use just based on the header file. + ✓ No debconf usage + ✓ No long-term usability affecting bugs + ✓ No Debian/Ubuntu bugs aside from this MIR + - Upstream bugs of interest present, see security section above + - Packaging in Debian seems mostly fine, but I noted that back-to-back + invocation of dpkg-buildpackage fails. A `make -C test clean` would + resolve this. + ✓ No exotic hardware expectations + - While a test suite is present, failures in it are not failing the build. + ✓ debian/watch file present + - lintian --pedantic reports 6 items total, the most severe of which are 2 + warnings + ✓ No reliance on obsolete/pending-demote packages + + [Dependencies] + ✓ Dependencies are very modest and already in main. (libc6, and + libjs-jquery for doc package) + + [Standards compliance] + ✓ FHS looks good to me. + ✓ Outstanding patches - there is a CMake patch, but upstream doesn't want + it. + https://github.com/ndevilla/iniparser/blob/master/FAQ-en.md#your-build-system-isnt-portable-let-me-help-you + - Recommended item DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS isn't explicitly implemented, all 6 + options currently listed are potentially relevant. + https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules-options + - The standards version is old https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/iniparser , + however v4.3.0 is an appropriate version for the last time the package + was uploaded. + + [Maintenance] + ✓ foundations-bugs subscribed on + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iniparser/+subscriptions + ✓ I consider this a "simple" package which should continue to be in sync + with Debian + + [Background information] + ✓ Package description is appropriate + ✓ No recent (or ever) renames
