[Bug 1472953] Re: [MIR] python-rtslib-fb

[Michael Terry]

So this apparently is a fork of the 'rtslib' source package.  It adds
python3 support and seems to be packaged better.  So that's OK.

It looks OK packaging wise.  It calls update-alternatives --remove in
the postrm script, which is bad [1], but since it also calls it in the
prerm script, I think that's fine.

I'm not super thrilled with adding a redundant iSCSI option.  But I
understand your reasoning.  Since this runs a daemon I'll ask the
security team to take a look, and they can comment on how much they'd
hate supporting two iSCSI solutions.

Title:
  [MIR] python-rtslib-fb

Status in python-rtslib-fb package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  In universe

  [Rationale]
  Dependency for cinder; tgt is still the preferred iSCSI solution for Ubuntu, but patching out the support in cinder for rtslib has become increasingly complex - so we'd like to have this in main just for unit testing;  the runtime dependency will remain a suggests.

  [Security]
  No security history

  [Quality assurance]
  Package builds OK; no unit test suite to execute.

  [Dependencies]
  All in main.

  [Standards compliance]
  OK

  [Maintenance]
  ubuntu-server/ubuntu-openstack; expected to be minimal.
