** Description changed:
- TBD
+ [Availability]
+ The package src:dh-elpa is already in Ubuntu universe.
+ The package dh-elpa-helper build for the architectures it is designed to work
on
+ It currently builds and works for architectures: all (arch independent)
+ Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-elpa|src:dh-elpa]]
+
+ It is enough to promote the dh-elpa-helper binary to main.
+
+ [Rationale]
+ - The package dh-elpa-helper is required in Ubuntu main as src:cmake
dependency
+ - The package src:dh-helper will not generally be useful for a large part of
+ our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is a higher level
+ abstraction layer around src:emacsen-common that is used by src:cmake and
+ others to unify the installation of elpa packages (like "cmake-mode").
+ - Additional reasons: we provided syntax highlighting and indentation for
+ CMakeLists.txt and *.cmake source files in emacs previously and do not want
+ to drop that.
+ - Additionally new use-cases enabled by this are: NONE, just keeping status
quo
+ - Package dh-elpa covers the same use case as emacsen-common, but is better
+ because it is a higher level abstraction layer, thereby we want to put it on
+ top to avoid common errors such as https://bugs.debian.org/802915
+ - The package dh-elpa-helper is a new runtime dependency of package cmake-data
+ that we already support
+
+ [Security]
+ - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
+ - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
+ - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
+ - Package does not install services
+ - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
+ - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
+ (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...) – it provides an extension to
the
+ debhelper build environment, tho.
+
+ [Quality assurance - function/usage]
+ - The package works well right after install – if elpa dehbehlper and
+ ${elpa:Depends} are being used
+
+ [Quality assurance - maintenance]
+ - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many
+ and long term critical bugs open
+ - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-elpa/+bug => 0 bugs
+ - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=dh-elpa
+ => no critical bugs, but 1 long standing bug, classified as "important"
+ https://bugs.debian.org/886024 It cannot be reproduced by the upstream
+ developers and morphed more into a proposal that the maintainers are
+ unconvinced of, therefore it stalled
+ => Another interesting bug is https://bugs.debian.org/995936 that is being
+ discussed as of recently and would remove the Ubuntu delta if resolved.
+ - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
+
+ [Quality assurance - testing]
+ - The package does not run a test at build time. ELPA_NAME is set and
./dh_elpa
+ executed but that doesn't seem to fail the build anything is wrong.
+ - The package does not run an autopkgtest because non is provided in
+ debian/tests
+ - README.org states a limitation: "This tool is currently not very well
tested."
+ - We could try adding an autopkgtest that builds a simple elpa package, as
+ descibed in https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam/elpa-hello, that
+ we could maybe also run at build time.
+
+ [Quality assurance - packaging]
+ - debian/watch is present and works
+ - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
+ => out-of-date-standards-version could/should be updated
+ - Link to recent build log including a lintian run
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4GRz5zJS8w/
+ - Lintian overrides are present, but ok because debian/watch is present, even
+ though this is a native package, but watchfile is used with pkg-emacsen PET
+ - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
+ - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
+ - The package will not be installed by default
+ - Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/km3WdffNcJ/
+
+ [UI standards]
+ - Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)
+
+ [Dependencies]
+ - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main
+
+ [Standards compliance]
+ - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
+
+ [Maintenance/Owner]
+ - Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
+ => I suggest the desktop team to take care of this package, as it is an
+ abstraction layer above emacsen-common, that is being owned by the
desktop
+ team.
+ - This does not use static builds
+ - This does not use vendored code
+
+ [Background information]
+ - The Package description explains the package well
+ - Upstream Name is dh-elpa
+ - Link to upstream project https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/dh-elpa
+ - This package is a native Debian package, created & maintained by the Debian
+ Emacsen team.
+
+ [TODO]
+ I suggest the following TODOs before this is ready for promotion:
+ - subscribe ~desktop-packages (as this is a higher level abstraction of
+ emacsen-common)
+ - merge the latests upstream version from Debian
+ - update the standards version
+ - add an autopkgtests to build a simple "elpa-hello" package, as described in
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam/elpa-hello
