@Christian, I've written the MIR content to help moving things forward
but the owning team should probably be foundation since it's a
requirement from fwupd that they own.
From the MIR perspective those items need work
- the package doesn't include autopkgtests
- there is no debian/watch
- there are some lintian warnings
** Changed in: protobuf-c (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
** Description changed:
- The latest 1.7.x version of fwupd can use protobuf-c for supporting the
- flashing of Logitech devices that use logitech_bulkcontroller such as
- their 4k webcams.
+ [Availability]
+ The package protobuf-c is already in Ubuntu universe, and was in main some
years ago.
+ The package protobuf-c builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
+ It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf i386
ppc64el riscv64 s390x
+ Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf-c
- This support has been disabled in Ubuntu since protobuf-c is not in main
though.
- * See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/1.7.1-1ubuntu3
+ [Rationale]
+ - The package protobuf-c is required in Ubuntu main for fwupd 1.7.x to handle
firmware updates for Logitech devices that use logitech_bulkcontroller such as
their 4k webcams.
+ - The feature is only going to be useful to users owning such hardware but it
is important for those users.
- protobuf-c used to be in main (see bug
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf-c/+bug/801735) but
- got downgraded to universe at some point. Can we restore it to main?
+ [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, timers or recurring jobs
+ - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
+ - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
+
+ [Quality assurance - function/usage]
+ - The package works well right after install

Debian or Ubuntu
