[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer):

[Availability]
The package libio-interactive-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libio-interactive-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: <all> (perl package)
Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libio-interactive-perl]]

[Rationale]
- The package libio-interactive-perl is required in Ubuntu main for licensecheck
 - The package libio-interactive-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
   our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is a requirement for licensecheck
- The package libio-interactive-perl is a new runtime dependency of package licensecheck (starting with 3.2.0-1) that
  we already support

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries (it's a Perl library)
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin` (it's a Perl library)
- Package does not install services
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
  (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The upstream appears to be somewhat active and the package is maintained by
  the Debian perl team.
- The package has no long term critical bugs open
 - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libio-interactive-perl/+bug
 - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libio-interactive-perl
- 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, link to build log
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/536120852/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-amd64.libio-interactive-perl_1.023-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
  this amd64 list of architectures, link to test logs
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/536120852/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-amd64.libio-interactive-perl_1.023-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- The package declares the autopkgtest-pkg-perl test-suite.
- The package does have no failing autopkgtests right now

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works

- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- Lintian overrides are not present
- Output of lintian --pedantic:
  W: libio-interactive-perl: changelog-distribution-does-not-match-changes-file (unstable != jammy)
  W: libio-interactive-perl changes: distribution-and-changes-mismatch jammy unstable

- 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.
- Content of d/rules:
  #!/usr/bin/make -f
                                                                                                                                 
  %:
  	dh $@

[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
- Only concern is a warning reported by lintian --pedantic:
  W: libio-interactive-perl: changelog-distribution-does-not-match-changes-file (unstable != jammy)
  W: libio-interactive-perl changes: distribution-and-changes-mismatch jammy unstable

[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be Foundations team (to be confirmed)
 - Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion

- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
