** Description changed: + [Availability] + + The package and its dependencies are already in universe. + + [Rationale] + + needrestart is a very useful maintainance tool to track any processes + that are out of date, and when possible offer to restart them. This + tool is very useful to check if sessions need to be restarted, + workloads need restarting, user & system daemons need restarting. But + also, whether the restarts were successful. + + [Security] + + The needrestart package is around in Ubuntu and Debian since many years + (first upload in Debian in 2013). Since then, there have been no CVE's + or serious security vulnerabilities reported (+ no mention of any + security related fixes in the changelog). It installs the needrestart + perl script into /usr/sbin/, no setuid binaries present. + + As for its runtime dependencies: + + - libintl-perl: in 2016 CVE-2016-1238 has been addressed + - libmodule-find-perl: none + - libmodule-scandeps-perl: none + - libsort-naturally-perl: none + + (all the dependencies are perl modules, so no security-interesting + binaries/configurations are being installed) + + [Quality assurance] + + TODO + + [Dependencies] + + All dependencies are either already in main or are part of this MIR. + There are a few additional universe build-dependencies (and build- + dependencies of the dependencies) but those have been confirmed to only + be used during the build and not result in any other universe runtime + dependencies. + + [Standards compliance] + + FHS and Debian Policy compliant. + + [Maintenance] + + The Ubuntu Foundations Team will be subscribed to the package and its + relevant dependencies. All the packages seem to be actively maintained + in Debian and so far no additional Ubuntu changes were required. + + [Background information] + + TODO + + [Original Description] + This is a stub for coming MIR activity. Since this was already seeded [1] it regularly shows up as component mismatch now. Therefore we want to raise this from "status is unknown" to "nothing done yet, but documented as that" :-) The bug status will be incomplete util properly prepared. This covers needrestart and it's dependencies: - libintl-perl - libmodule-find-perl - libmodule-scandeps-perl - libsort-naturally-perl [1]: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu- seeds/+git/ubuntu/commit/?id=ed7003d4c9a0be80e8a17699baa858b2bf1ce06b
