** Changed in: libspelling (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
** Description changed:
- This is a draft MIR.
+ [Availability]
+ The package libspelling is already in Ubuntu universe.
+ The package libspelling build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
+ It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el
riscv64 s390x
+ Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspelling
- libspelling is derived from code that was formerly in gnome-builder and
- gnome-text-editor. Late in the GNOME 47 release cycle, gnome-text-editor
- switched to the external libspelling. It was too late to process the
- libspelling MIR for Ubuntu 24.10, so we vendored libspelling for that
- release only. The Ubuntu Desktop team will submit a MIR for libspelling
- early for Ubuntu 25.04.
+ [Rationale]
+ - The package libspelling is required as a new dependency of
gnome-text-editor.
+ - The package libspelling will generally be useful for a large part of our
user base
+ - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
+ should go universe->main instead of this. (we have other spelling libraries
but not gtk4 ones)
+ - The binary package libspelling-1-2 needs to be in main since
gnome-text-editor links to it.
+
+ - The package libspelling is required in Ubuntu main when possible. It
+ used to be bundled with gnome-text-editor and was split out but we
+ restored the copy for this cycle (unless we manage to get the MIR
+ reviewed but we aren't blocked on it)
+
+ [Security]
+ - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
+
+ - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
+ - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
+ - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
+ - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
+ - Package does not expose any external endpoints
+ - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
+
+ [Quality assurance - function/usage]
+ - The package works well right after install
+
+ [Quality assurance - maintenance]
+ - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream has currently no
open bugs downstream nor upstream
+ - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspelling/+bug
+ - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libspelling
+ - Upstream's bug tracker, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libspelling/
+ - The package has important open bugs, listing them: TBD
+ - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
+
+ [Quality assurance - testing]
+ - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
+ it makes the build fail,
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/748385661/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular-amd64.libspelling_0.4.0-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
+
+ - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on amd64 arm64
armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x
+ https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libs/libspelling
+
+ [Quality assurance - packaging]
+ - debian/watch is present and works
+ - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer
+
+ - This package has minor lintian warnings
+ # lintian --pedantic libspelling_0.4.0-2_amd64.changes
+ W: libspelling source: newer-standards-version 4.7.0 (current is 4.6.2)
+ W: libspelling-1-doc: stray-devhelp-documentation
[usr/share/doc/libspelling-1/libspelling-1.devhelp2]
+ P: libspelling source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root [debian/control]
+
+ - Please link to a recent build log of the package
+ https://launchpadlibrarian.net/748385661/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular-
+ amd64.libspelling_0.4.0-1_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
+
+ - Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules
+ https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-
+ team/libspelling/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/rules
+
+ [UI standards]
+ - Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation). It is a
library handling spell checking which shows data from dictionaries but has no
user interface or string
+
+ [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 already subscribed to the package
+
+ - 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/libspelling/0.4.0-1
