Main Inclusion Report for sourcepackage

Requirements

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

  2. Rationale:

  3. Security:

    • CVE entries: No records

    • Secunia history: No records

    • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
      • munin-node daemon runs as root. munin web generator is a cron script that runs as root.
    • Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?
      • Yes. munin-node opens 4949 and has some kind of ACL in the config file to allow the cron script to gather data.
    • Any source code review performed ? (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)
      • no.

  4. Quality assurance:

    • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ?
      • It depends. munin-node does an attempt to autoconfig itself, but most often it needs some manual kick to gather extra data. The config is simple tho by simple symlinks.
    • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?
      • no.

    • Debian bugs: there are several bugs of severity important that might be relevant.

    • Maintenance in Debian is very calm

    • http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/ is vigorous

    • http://munin.projects.linpro.no/report/1?sort=severity&asc=1: tons of bugs here.. different severities and priorities.

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

  5. Standards compliance:

  6. Dependencies:

    • All B-D are in main.
    • Very few runtime depends are in universe but mostly small perl libraries.
