I must second your statement in regard to feel somewhere in between, for being used and omnipresent yet at the same time feeling somewhat neglected upstream.
But for a positive mood, looking back at the old blockers we have some improvements since then. - Server team added tests that were called out in the MIR review via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1032321 - Upstream somewhat (not as much as you'd wish but hey) came to live as reported by Antoine in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/1978144/comments/7 The discussion about CVEs in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/1978144/comments/7 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/1978144/comments/8 shows that this will be an interesting ride any way. But due to its quite common use we already maintain, monitor and watch it as if it would be in main, and maybe it is indeed time to step further as Seth said "if a team doesn't follow best practices, is that on us or on them?". For that all the improvements are already good, and the suggested addition of an apparmor profile might be enough to say "it isn't perfect, but since it is used much this should make it save enough". We have to acknowledge that this is responsible for interacting with a lot of odd hardware, expect a lot of /dev paths to be present and likely that execution on different machines will need different paths. So as Seth said it can't be hyper specific. Overall, from MIR POV the missing tests are resolved, if from a security POV we expect an ACK once an apparmor profile was added that might be the way forward here. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1032321 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1032321 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1978144 Title: [MIR] ipmitool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug/1978144/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
