[Bug 2025912] [NEW] [MIR] dasbus

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Lukas Märdian (slyon):

[Availability]
The package dasbus is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package dasbus build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures all
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dasbus

[Rationale]
- The package dasbus is required for our nvme over fabric story
- It is a dependency of the package nvme-stas (MIR at TBD)
- dasbus provides a pythonic interface to the D-Bus message
  bus system. dasbus can be used to access remote objects
  and also for object publication.
- This DBus library is written in Python 3, based on GLib and inspired by
  pydbus.
- This package installs the library for Python 3.
- We would like to include it in main in order for the Canonical
  foundations team to give official support on this package.
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
  should go universe->main instead of this.
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
  package nvme-stas 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

[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/dasbus/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=dasbus
- Upstream's bug tracker https://github.com/rhinstaller/dasbus/issues
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite of 232 tests on build time, if it fails
  it makes the build fail (see attached build log)
- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
  all supported architectures, link to test logs
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/dasbus
- 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
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- This package does not yield any lintian Warnings
- 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 higher than medium
- Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dasbus/tree/debian/rules

[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

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

[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be foundations-bugs
- Team is not yet, 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 was test rebuilt in PPA or sbuild recently (build log
  attached)
