Title:
[MIR] fonts-urw-base35
Status in fonts-urw-base35 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Availability: The package is in Universe and it has no known build
issues in the curremt version. It is a pure data package without any
executable code inside and so nothing to compile. Therefore it is
architecture independent.
Rationale: This package is needed by the current Debian package of
Ghostscript (9.50) which I have synced into Ubuntu.
Security: As this package does not contain executable code (it
contains only fonts and therefore only data) there should be no
security risk being introduced by it.
Quality assurance: There is no user interaction required to use this
package. It will get pulled in by Ghostscript via dependency and
provide the 35 PostScript standard fonts needed by Ghostscript. It
comes with all needed metadata and configuration files so that
Ghostscript actually finds the fonts. As this is only a font
collection there is no user interface. The package also does not
contain any debconf questions.
The upstream package comes from Artifex, the upstream maintainers
Ghostscript. Therefore it should be as well maintained as Ghostscript
itself. There are regularly happening updates at Debian and Ubuntu
simply auto-syncs.
The package has no test suite, but it is nothing more than a
collection of fonts.
debian/watch is present.
This package does not depend on any other package, so it cannot pull
in anything deprecated or from Universe.
Standards compliance: The package should meet the FHS and Debian
Policy standards. Major violations should be documented and justified.
Also, the source packaging should be reasonably easy to understand and
maintain.
Maintenance: The Ubuntu Printing Team is subscribed to bug reports on
this package. As mentioned earlier this package is auto-synced from
Debian and there well maintained. Currently there are no open bugs.
Background information:
The package is well described in its description.
Security checks
No known CVE entries, but as this package contains only fonts we do
not expect any vulnerabilities.
No executables, so also no SUID/GUID, daemons, startup scripts, port
bindings.
