** Description changed: [Availability] The package showtime is already in Ubuntu universe. The package showtime build for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: all except i386 Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime [Rationale] - The package showtime is required in Ubuntu main as a default video player for Ubuntu Desktop. - The package showtime will generally be useful for a large part of our user base - Package showtime covers the same use case as totem, but is better because it is more actively maintained and has improved UI/UX, thereby we want to replace it. GNOME Core officially switched from totem to showtime for GNOME 49 and we want to do that swap too. - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or should go universe->main instead of this. - This is the first time package will be in main - The binary package showtime needs to be in main to achieve a better video player for Ubuntu Desktop. - All binary packages built by showtime need to be in main. (There is only one binary package.) - It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package showtime in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline. [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). - 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 Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=showtime - Upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime/-/issues - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support [Quality assurance - testing] The package runs a few trivial metadata validation tests on build time, if it fails it makes the build fail, link to build log https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64 It does not run more extensive tests because build time tests wouldn't do a very good job of testing this app's specific functionality. The app is mostly a frontend to gstreamer which does have a stronger testing story. - The package does not run an autopkgtest because it is a GUI video player app and autopkgtest isn't a good fit for this kind of package. To make up for that, we have detailed test plans for GStreamer and Showtime, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GStreamer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/Showtime Due to the nature, integration and use cases of the package the consequences of a regression that might slip through most likely would include users not being able to playback media files. [Quality assurance - packaging] - debian/watch is present and works - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors - Please link to a recent build log of the package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64 - Please attach the full output you have got from `lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug. - Lintian overrides are not present - 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://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/showtime/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/rules [UI standards] - Application is end-user facing, Translation is present, via standard gettext - End-user applications that ships a standard conformant desktop file, see https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/showtime/-/blob/debian/latest/data/org.gnome.Showtime.desktop.in [Dependencies] - gir1.2-gst-plugins-bad1.0 being split to gir1.2-gst-plugins-extra-1.0 LP: #2121050 Used check-mir from ubuntu-dev-tools to validate all other dependencies or recommends are in main. [Standards compliance] - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy [Maintenance/Owner] - The owning team will be debcrafters-packages and I have their acknowledgment for that commitment - The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to the package before promotion - This does not use static builds - This does not use vendored code - This package is not rust based - The package has been built within the last 3 months in the archive - Build link on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.1-1 [Background information] - The Package description explains the package well - Upstream Name is showtime (user-visible name is Video Player) - Link to upstream project https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime For video thumbnailing, GNOME have recently released gst-thumbnailers, https://gitlab.gnome.org/sophie-h/gst-thumbnailers/-/tags/1.0.alpha.1 - The current plan is propose this for as MIR for 26.04, and if that isn't - done in time, to fallback to using the totem-video-thumbnailer in main. + The current plan is propose gst-thumbnailers for as MIR for 26.04, and + if that isn't done in time, to fallback to using the totem-video- + thumbnailer in main. The other binary packages built by source package + totem will be demoted to universe once showtime lands in Ubuntu main.
