Review for Source Package: python-referencing
[Summary]
MIR team ACK conditional on resolution of TODOs.
This does not need a security review
TODO:
- Re-enable autopkgtest suite (current disabled).
- Update to latest release.
[Rationale, Duplication and Ownership]
- There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
- A team is committed to own long term maintenance of this package
(ubuntu-openstack).
- The rationale given in the report seems valid and useful for Ubuntu
[Dependencies]
Other MIR's required for this package are detailed in the original submission
so no further action is required directly from this MIR.
Problems: None
[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- not a rust package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
Problems: None
[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
an untrusted source.
- does not expose any external endpoint (port/socket/... or similar)
- 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)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates,
signing, ...)
- this makes appropriate (for its exposure) use of established risk
mitigation features (dropping permissions, using temporary environments,
restricted users/groups, seccomp, systemd isolation features,
apparmor, ...)
Problems: None
[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
- test suite fails will fail the build upon error.
- no new python2 dependency
- Python package, but using dh_python
Problems:
- autopkgtest suite is currently disabled - needs investigating
[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does carry a delta, but it is reasonable and maintenance under
control
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- debian/watch is present and looks ok (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is (good/slow/sporadic)
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is (good/slow/sporadic)
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list
Problems:
- the current release is not packaged
[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid / setgid
- use of setuid, but ok because TBD (prefer systemd to set those
for services)
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit or libseed
- not part of the UI for extra checks
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?
