[Bug 1077484] Re: [MIR] libsemanage (shadow's rdep to continue SELinux support in shadow)

[Jamie Strandboge]

libsemanage review:
 * Does it FTBFS currently? needs libustr-dev, otherwise builds fine
 * Does it have a test suite? yes, enabled in the build
 * If it's a Python package, does it use dh_python3/dh_python2? no
 * If it's a Python package going on the desktop CD, will it pull in Python 2? it only builds with python2, but since we only want libsemanage1, libsemanage1-dev and libsemanage-common, python2 won't be pulled onto the desktop CD
 * Does Ubuntu carry a delta? no
 * It has a symbols file
 * Does it have a bug subscriber in Ubuntu? no
 * Does it have a watch file? yes, but it doesn't detect a new version correctly (ie, 2.1.9 is available, but uscan reports 'libsemanage: remote site does not even have current version')
 * Is its update history slow or sporadic? it is fine
 * Is the current release packaged? in Debian experimental only
 * Will entering main make it harder for the people currently keeping it up to date? no
 * Lintian warnings: it's clean
 * Is debian/rules a mess? there are several overrides primarily dealing with python and ruby support, but it is reasonable enough
 * Errors/warnings during the build: no
 * Incautious use of malloc/sprintf: seems fine
 * Uses of sudo or LD_LIBRARY_PATH: no
 * Important bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu: no
 * Does the package have a CVE history? no
 * It is widely used and well maintained upstream. Package does not warrant a security audit at this time.

Would be nice if libsemanage had a bug subscriber and the watch file
were fixed. This does not block the MIR. ACK

Title:
  [MIR] libsemanage (shadow's rdep to continue SELinux support in
  shadow)

Status in “libsemanage” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ustr” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Shadow package now requires libsemanage to compile with SELinux support.
  Currently shadow is compiled with SELinux support.
  To continue compiling shadow with SELinux support libsemanage1 libsemanage-dev and libsemanage-common should be promoted into main.
  If not, SELinux support can be dropped from the shadow package.

  Previously, sssd tried to pull libsemanage into main,

  (There is shadow package in raring-proposed in dep-wait state on
  libsemanage)
