[Summary] There does not appear to be any significant problems with this package from MIR perspective, with the sole exception of the lack of any test suite.
This does not need a security review List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: - needrestart Notes: Besides the TODOs listed below, this needs to wait for its dependencies to be approved and promoted to main Required TODOs: Some kind of test suite should be added, and run (at least) at build time. Recommended TODOs: The 'prerequisite not found' build warnings appear harmless, but could be fixed (I think) by adding the packages to the Build-Dep list [Duplication] There is no other package in main providing the same functionality. [Dependencies] OK: - no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion Problems: - has other Dependencies to MIR due to this, which are all in progress using same LP bug - libintl-perl - libsort-naturally-perl - libmodule-scandeps-perl - libmodule-find-perl [Embedded sources and static linking] OK: - no embedded source present - no static linking [Security] OK: - no CVEs - does not run a daemon as root - does not use webkit1,2 - does not use lib*v8 directly - does not parse data formats - 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) [Common blockers] OK: - does not FTBFS currently - The package has a team bug subscriber (foundations) - has translation - not a python/go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard Problems: - does not have a test suite [Packaging red flags] OK: - Ubuntu does not carry a delta - 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 - promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far maintained the package (no Ubuntu delta) - no massive Lintian warnings - d/rules is rather clean - Does not have Built-Using - not Go package [Upstream red flags] OK: - no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as I can check it) - no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (note: does include use of sudo in example config for nagios) - no use of user nobody - no use of setuid - no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu or Upstream - no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-* - not part of the UI for extra checks Problems: - minor warnings during the build: Warning: prerequisite Module::ScanDeps 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Proc::ProcessTable 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Sort::Naturally 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Term::ReadKey 0 not found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1907422 Title: [MIR] needrestart + dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libintl-perl/+bug/1907422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
