Main Inclusion Report for sourcepackage

Requirements

  1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/migrationtools; available for all supported architectures.

  2. Rationale:

  3. Security:

    • entries: CVE-2006-0512 and CVE-2005-4683

do not affect version in hardy.

  • Secunia history: One entry reported.

  • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
    • no daemon, binaries are "isolated" in /usr/share/migrationtools. Depending on the binary, you might need different priviletes to read /etc/passwd or other files.
  • Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?
    • Nope.
  • Any source code review performed ? (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)
    • minimal. seems ok.
  1. Quality assurance:

    • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ?
      • scripts require env vars set to work properly and those are dependent from too many external factors to have a sane default.
    • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?
      • nope.
    • Debian bugs: there are a bunch of bugs open at different level. Somebody with ldap knowledge should review them

    • Maintenance in Debian is almost dead.

    • Upstream is unknown.

    • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ?
      • no.
  2. Standards compliance:

    • FHS, Debian Policy

      • package is compliant to all the foobar!
    • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
      • it uses cdbs and should be rejected just for that Wink ;)

  3. Dependencies:

    • Are these all in main ?
      • all deps and build-deps are in main.
