Public bug reported:
[Availability]
The package exfatprogs is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package exfatprogs build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for all Ubuntu architectures
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exfatprogs
[Rationale]
- The package exfatprogs is required in Ubuntu main as an optional runtime
dependency of udisks2
- The package exfatprogs will generally be useful for a large part of
our user base
- Additionally new use-cases enabled by this are out-of-the-box support for
creating and fixing exFAT volumes: exFAT is commonly used on larger USB drives
or SD cards; in many cases pre-formatted that way from the manufacturer
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
should go universe->main instead of this.
- The binary package exfatprogs needs to be in main to achieve out-of-the-box
support for creating and fixing exFAT volumes.
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
package exfatprogs in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
[Security]
- Had 1 security issues in the past
- Links to CVE trackers:
https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-45897
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-45897
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-45897
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- Binaries dump.exfat, exfat2img, exfatlabel, fsck.exfat, mkfs.exfat,
tune.exfat in sbin are no problem because they're not suig/sgid; they will be
executed by the udisks2 daemon
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exfatprogs/+bug
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=exfatprogs
- Upstream's bug tracker https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs/issues
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
RULE: - The package must include a non-trivial test suite
RULE: - it should run at package build and fail the build if broken
TODO-A: - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
TODO-A: it makes the build fail, link to build log TBD
TODO-A: - This is WIP involving upstream and debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076705
RULE: - The package should, but is not required to, also contain
RULE: non-trivial autopkgtest(s).
TODO-A: - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
TODO-A: this TBD list of architectures, link to test logs TBD
TODO-A: - This is also WIP involving upstream and debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076705
- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- I noticed that the debian maintainer is not using the tarball that uscan
would download, but a different tarball. I'm trying to fix that here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076722
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
-
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/735597444/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular-amd64.exfatprogs_1.2.4-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- Lintian overrides are not present
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
questions higher than medium
- Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exfatprogs/tree/debian/rules
[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)
[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- The owning team will be ~desktop-packages and I have their acknowledgement for
that commitment
- The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to
the package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- This package is not rust based
- The package has been built within the last 3 months in the archive
- Build link on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exfatprogs/1.2.4-1
