** Description changed: fwupd was split into fwupd and fwupd-efi as part of bug 1955386, however the fwupd-efi package is in universe. As the previous fwupd package was already in main, the fwupd-efi source package that stemmed from it should also be brought into main. Both fwupd-signed and fwupd have a Recommends on fwupd-unsigned, which is provided by the fwupd-efi source package. + + [Availability] + The package fwupd-efi/source, fwupd-signed/amd64, fwupd-unsigned/amd64, is already in Ubuntu universe. + It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd-efi + + [Rationale] + fwupd is a utility that upgrades bios and lots of firmware of HW components so that they got the last fix from HW vendor. + + It has already existed in main for quite a long time. The only reason we + need MIR is the source code split to kind of de-couple the efi + and user-space utility. + + [Security] + Given this is a source code split, the security-related issue should have + be properly handled previously. + + [Quality assurance - function/usage] + Same as above. If you need further detail on a certain point, please kindly state your request. + + [Quality assurance - maintenance] + Same as above. If you need further detail on a certain point, please kindly state your request. + + [Quality assurance - testing] + Given this is an EFI app pkg, and it upgrades OS bios, it's not so trivial to test. We do have certain test steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates. + + [Quality assurance - packaging] + fwupd-efi-1.1$ lintian --pedantic + E: fwupd-efi changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable + W: fwupd-amd64-signed-template: empty-binary-package + P: fwupd-efi source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root + P: fwupd-efi source: uses-debhelper-compat-file + + [UI standards] + This is an EFI app, it provides text mode UI in English and no user interactivity. + + [Dependencies] + $ apt-cache depends fwupd-signed + fwupd-signed + Recommends: secureboot-db + Recommends: fwupd-unsigned + Recommends: fwupd + + All it’s depends is in main after this MIR is done. + + [Standards compliance] + All good per what I know. + + [Maintenance/Owner] + It’s properly and actively maintained from upstream: + + https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd + https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd-efi + https://fwupd.org/ + + [Background information] + Given this is a source code split re-MIR, I think it’s quite obvious. + Related links are provided above.
