[Bug 1689963] [NEW] [MIR] open-isns

[Nish Aravamudan]

Public bug reported:

[Availability]
 * open-isns has been in Ubuntu since Yakkety in universe and has successfully built on all supported architectures.

[Rationale]
 * open-iscsi has switched it's upstream source from using a local copy of isns (internet storage name service) code to using what is available on the build system.
 * This adds a new build-dependency (libisns-dev) which I believe can stay in universe, but the binary package dependencies (libisns-nocrypto0-udeb libisns0) need to be promoted to main as open-iscsi is in main.

[Security]
 * There have been no reported CVEs for open-isns.
   - There are two CVEs for isns.c in the CVE tracker:
     + http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0743
     + http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2221
   - These relate to tgt's support for iSNS not to open-isns.

[Quality assurance]
 * The relevant binary packages from open-isns for this MIR are library packages, which are usable immediately after installation.
 * No debconf questions are asked during installation.
 * There are no long-term outstanding bugs which affect the usability of libisns.
 * There are no important bugs in Debian or Ubuntu bug trackers:
   - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;src=open-isns
   - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-isns
 * The upstream bug tracker refers to open-isns self-tests not passing, but I need to investigate this further.
   - https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-isns/issues

 * The package is well-maintained in Debian (and synced to Ubuntu currently).
 * The package does not deal with exotic hardware.
 * The packages does have a test suite. I will investigate if it can run during the build, it does not appear to currently.
 * The package uses a debian/watch file.

[Dependencies]
 * All of the package dependencies for the two binaries to move to main are already in main.

[Standards compliance]
 * The package is compliant with Debian and FHS policies.

[Maintenance]
 * The Ubuntu Server Team will be subscribed to the package.

** Affects: open-isns (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
