Public bug reported:
[Availability]
- The package dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader is already in Ubuntu universe.
- The package dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader builds for the architectures it is
designed to work on.
- It currently builds and works for architectures: arm64
- Link to package
[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbsa_gwdt](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbsa_gwdt)
[Rationale]
- The package dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader is required in Ubuntu main because
it is a boot requirement for Nvidia DGX GB10 machines.
- The package dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader will generally be useful for a
large part of our user base.
- Currently, the users of these machines are using a Ubuntu-based OS delivered
by nvidia which loads this driver too. They can't install stock Ubuntu.
- This is the first time package will be in main
- The binary packages dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader needs to be in main because
it needs to be present on the live installer ISO.
- All binary packages built by dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader need to be in main
(there is only one).
- The package dgx-desktop-sbsa-gwdt-loader is required in Ubuntu main ASAP, to
catch the resolute release.
[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- Binary TBD in /usr/libexec is not a problem because:
It is a very short and easily maintainable bash script that verifies
the modalias and runs `modprobe` if needed. It also prints logs.
- Package does install services, timers or recurring jobs
sbsa_gwdt_selective_enablement.service runs the executable during boot.
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
(filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Ubuntu and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
- Ubuntu

- The package does deal with exotic hardware, such hardware is available to the
team for debugging, test, verification and development via:
- testflinger under the following queue: nvidia-n1x-spark-prod
- the nvidia global partnership. Also exotic is opinionated, DGX Sparks
are popular customer products with more than 10k sales in the first month.
[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package only runs a linter test at build time because it runs its test
suite as autopkgtest.
- The package runs a non-trivial autopkgtest that verifies that the service
installs, runs and exits correctly.
- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
- We have access to such hardware in the team to complement the testing
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is not present because it is a native package
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- Lintian overrides are not present
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf questions
higher than medium
- Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules
[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)
[Dependencies]
- Used check-mir from ubuntu-dev-tools to validate all dependencies or
recommends are in main.
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- The owning team will be Partner Engineering and I have their acknowledgment
for that commitment
- The future owning team is already subscribed to the package
- 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
- This change will not impact other teams
[Background information]
- The Package description explains the package well
- No Upstream Name - it's a native package
