[Bug 1980968] Re: [MIR] libregexp-wildcards-perl

[Lukas Märdian]

@ogayot made the requested change to libregexp-wildcards-perl and
submitted it to Debian. It was promtly accepted by the maintainer and
already auto-synced into Ubuntu:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libregexp-wildcards-perl/1.05-3

This resolves all MIR TODOs => MIR team ACK.

I've added the ~foundations-bugs team subscriber.
The package is already being pulled in by lintian, so it is ready for promotion.

** Changed in: libregexp-wildcards-perl (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed

Title:
  [MIR] libregexp-wildcards-perl

Status in libregexp-wildcards-perl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in lintian package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  The package libregexp-wildcards-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package libregexp-wildcards-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
  It currently builds and works for architetcures: all
  Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libregexp-wildcards-perl/|libregexp-wildcards-perl]]

  [Rationale]
  The package libregexp-wildcards-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base, but is important/helpful still because the package
  is a new runtime dependency of package lintian that we already support

  - It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
  package libregexp-wilcards-perl 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)
   - 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

    # apt install libregexp-wildcards-perl
    $ perl
    < use Regexp::Wildcards;
    < my $rw = Regexp::Wildcards->new(type => "unix");
    < printf "%s\n", $rw->convert("src/*.pl", "jokers"); 

    > src\/.*\.pl

  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
   - There has only been two revisions in d/changelog for the package.
   - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many and
     long term critical bugs open
     - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libregexp-wildcards-perl/+bug
     - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libregexp-wildcards-perl
   - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

  [Quality assurance - testing]
   - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build
     fail. link to build log:
   - Link to green build:
     https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/t8b2dsBNxg/
   - Link to red build (caused by build-time test failure):
     https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/YbvfNdF24v/

   - The package only runs the minimal autodep8-perl autopkgtest ; it does not
     include a d/tests directory or declare a Testsuite.
   - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

  [Quality assurance - packaging]
   - debian/watch is present and works

   - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field.
   - libregexp-wildcards-perl does not currently have any Ubuntu delta.

   - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
   - Please link to a recent build log of the package libregexp-wildcards-perl:
     https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/t8b2dsBNxg/

     questions higher than medium

   - Packaging and build is easy, content of d/rules:

  [UI standards]

  [Dependencies]

  [Standards compliance]
   - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
