Title:
[MIR] libsodium
Status in libsodium package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in libsodium source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Status in libsodium source package in Xenial:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Availability]
The package is currently available in universe, currently imported directly
from Debian with no Ubuntu specific patches.
[Rationale]
libsodium is a dependency of ZeroMQ, which in turn is a dependency of
unity-scopes-api. Therefore, we will need to include it in main to support
Unity 8.
[Security]
I couldn't find any CVEs or other advisories for the libsodium library, or
djb's "nacl" library (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) that it is derived from.
[Quality Assurance]
Package is a library, so not something end users will interact with directly.
There are other apps and libraries in universe that currently link with
libsodium, and install without issue.
The library asks no debconf questions on install.
Bugs are tracked in Debian and Ubuntu here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsodium
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libsodium
The one Ubuntu bug looks like it might be user confusion about -dev
packages. The one Debian report is complaining about Debian packaging
an old version of libsodium: something that seems to have since been
fixed but not noted in the bug report.
New releases appear to be packaged in Debian promptly
(https://packages.qa.debian.org/libs/libsodium.html), and the latest
Debian release was recently migrated into Yakkety.
The package is a software crypto library, so doesn't rely on exotic
hardware.
Library has a test suite that is run as part of the package build.
The package has a debian/watch file checking for new releases on
github.
[UI Standards]
The package contains a non-graphical crypto library.
[Dependencies]
The libsodium18 binary package only depends on libc6. For source
build-depends, there is debhelper, pkg-config, and dh-autoreconf. All are
already in main.
[Maintenance]
The package currently lists ubuntu-devel-discuss as its maintainer. It
doesn't look like we've ever made any changes to the versions of the package
migrated from Debian though.
[Background information]
The package has reasonable description strings and hasn't been renamed
recently. The source package name matches the upstream project name.
[ABI Stability]
The library is plain C, so should be fairly robust. The upstream developers
committed to API and ABI stability with the 1.0.0 release (October 2014):
https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/tag/1.0.0
A bit worryingly though, they changed soname in the 1.0.6 release
(November 2015):
https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/tag/1.0.6
The changelog seems to indicate that the release should have been
compatible but they changed soname just to be sure. It is unclear
whether this is likely to happen again.
