Public bug reported: [Availability] - The package provd is already in Ubuntu universe. - The package provd build for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/provd
[Rationale] - The package provd is required in Ubuntu main for our new 'initial setup' desktop experience - Package provd covers the same use case as gnome-initial-setup and oem-config, but is better because it's more consistent with the rest of our provisioning flow. It also allows us to implement ubuntu specific functionalities like Ubuntu Pro integration without having to distro patch diverge an upstream project, thereby we want to replace it. The provd package is the backend side implementation, the UI is provided by the ubuntu-desktop-init snap (flutter frontend) - We will demote gnome-initial-setup and ubiquity/oem-config as a result - The binary package provd needs to be in main as it will provide the backend used but the Ubuntu Desktop initial setup GUI. - The package provd is required in Ubuntu main no later than August 15th (oracular feature freeze) [Security] - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past (which is to be expected since it's a new codebase made for Ubuntu which hasn't been used yet) - it provides `/usr/libexec/sprovd` which is a `suid` binary used to do issue 'pro attach' - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin` - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024). - Package does not expose any external endpoints - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software [Quality assurance - function/usage] - The package works well right after install [Quality assurance - maintenance] - The package is maintained well in Ubuntu as a Canonical project. It has currently no open bug on launchpad and a few non-major ones on github. The package is not in Debian since it's an Ubuntu specific component. - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/provd/+bug - Upstream's bug tracker, https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+provd - The package has currently no important open bugs reported - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support [Quality assurance - testing] - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build fail, link to build log https://launchpadlibrarian.net/724240568/buildlog_ubuntu-noble-amd64.provd_0.1.2_BUILDING.txt.gz - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x, link to test logs https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/provd - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now [Quality assurance - packaging] - debian/watch is not present because it is a native package - debian/control defines Ubuntu Developers as Maintainer - This package does only has minor lintian warnings - Please link to a recent build log of the package https://launchpadlibrarian.net/724240568/buildlog_ubuntu-noble-amd64.provd_0.1.2_BUILDING.txt.gz - `lintian --pedantic` log # lintian --pedantic provd_0.1.2_amd64.changes E: provd source: mail-address-loops-or-bounces Maintainer [email protected] E: provd: mail-address-loops-or-bounces Maintainer [email protected] E: provd-dbgsym: mail-address-loops-or-bounces Maintainer [email protected] E: provd changes: mail-address-loops-or-bounces Maintainer [email protected] W: provd: debian-changelog-has-wrong-day-of-week 2024-04-11 was a Thursday [usr/share/doc/provd/changelog.gz:1] W: provd source: no-nmu-in-changelog [debian/changelog:1] W: provd source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.1.2 [debian/changelog:1] Those are noise or infra issues - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages. - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies - The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf questions - Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop- provision/blob/main/provd/debian/rules [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] - The owning team will be desktop-packages and I have their acknowledgement for that commitment - The future owning team is already subscribed to the package - This does not use static builds TODO: - This package uses vendored go code tracked in go.sum as shipped in the TODO: package, refreshing that code is outlined in debian/README.source - This package is not rust based - The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last test rebuild [Background information] The Package description explains the package well Upstream Name is ubuntu-desktop-provision (it's one repository with different components) Link to upstream project https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/tree/main/provd ** Affects: provd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2067373 Title: [MIR] provd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/provd/+bug/2067373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
