[Bug 2020270] [NEW] [MIR] glibmm2.68

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer):

[Availability]
The package glibmm2.68 is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package glibmm2.68 is built for all Ubuntu architectures except i386 (where it is not needed)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibmm2.68

[Rationale]
- The package glibmm2.68 is a new runtime dependency of package transmission that we already support. (Transmission has been included in Ubuntu Desktop for many years. Transmission previously used C for the desktop app but C++ for much of the rest of the codebase. With the latest version, Transmission has standardized on C++ for all its codebase.)

- glibmm2.68 is part of the GTK4 stack for C++. A different source
package, glibmm2.4, is part of the GTK3 C++ stack and is currently in
main. For more rationale about promoting the GTK4 stack for C++ to main,
see the gtkmm4.0 MIR bug LP: #2020472

- The package glibmm2.68 is required in Ubuntu main no later than August
17, Ubuntu 23.10 Feature Freeze, because it is a dependency of
transmission and perhaps gnome-system-monitor 45.

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

[Quality assurance - function/usage]

- 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 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibmm2.68/2.76.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64

 - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on all
architectures (except for i386 where it is not built)

https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/glibmm2.68

- 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 (package is maintained in Debian)

- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- Please link to a recent build log of the package
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibmm2.68/2.76.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64

- 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
