Public bug reported: [Availability] Currently in Ubuntu universe. Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.
[Rationale] This package is a new dependency of the 'sphinx-doc' package (src:sphinx, as of version 2.3.1-1) that we already support. [Security] No known security issues: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/sphinx https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sphinx/+cve Past issue CVE-2018-1999024 affects only versions < 2.7.4: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-1999024 No security relevant binaries contained. No files in /sbin or /usr/sbin, no system services/daemons or other security relevant constraints. [Quality assurance] * The package provides a JS library, which can be used easily from /usr/share/javascript/mathjax/ without further documentation. * No debconf dialogs. * No critical outstanding bugs which affect the usability. Upstream provides regular bugfix releases for the 2.7.* branch at https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/releases * No bugs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mathjax * Debian marks 1 out of 2 bugs 'Important': https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mathjax BTS#919981: Ugly formulas in jupyter -> Affects the rendering in 'jupyter', which is in Ubuntu universe. Does not seem to be a critical bug. * Upstream lists 25 issues, which were not marked to be fixed or postponed. None of those seems to be critical: https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Acreated-desc+no%3Amilestone+-label%3A%22Feature+Request%22+-label%3AFixed+-label%3A%22Expected+Behavior%22+-label%3ADuplicate+-label%3AAccepted+-label%3AAbandoned+-label%3A%22Address+Later%22+-label%3AQuestion+-label%3Av3 * Ubuntu is in sync with Debian. Debian last updated the package 2018-05-15. Looking for a new maintainer, due to a new major upstream release (3.0). Debian-JS-Maintainers team took over and is preparing 3.0 release in Salsa. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mathjax https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950424 https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/mathjax * No exotic hardware required. * No autopkgtests. No build tests. * debian/watch available. * lintian --pedantic shows 3 relevant, non-critical warnings: P: mathjax source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 11 P: mathjax source: rules-requires-root-missing P: mathjax source: uses-debhelper-compat-file * Does not rely on obsolete/demoted packages. [UI standards] Not a user facing application. [Dependencies] All binary dependencies and recommends are provided by the source package itself. yui-compressor (universe) is only in Build-Depends. [Standards compliance] Uses mostly debhelper and meets FHS and Debian Policy Standards-Version 4.1.4. [Maintenance] Simple package, which can be synced from Debian, especially as the Debian-JS-Maintainers team is taking over this package from the original Maintainer. Otherwise, Ubuntu Foundations should be assigned. [Background information] MathJax is a JavaScript library/display engine for mathematics that works in all browsers. It is used by sphinx-doc (main) to render their documentation pages. ** Affects: mathjax (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878937 Title: [MIR] mathjax To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mathjax/+bug/1878937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
