Public bug reported:
Availability:
- Available in universe for all supported archs.
Rationale:
- Used as a new build-dependency for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. (Pending the
bug for updating to new version. Separate FFe bug #XXXXXX)
Security:
- No known security issues, small wrapper for evdev events.
Quality assurance:
- No configuration required. No outstanding bugs in launchpad.
- I would prefer the newer 0.9 or 1.0 because of the soname bump, some
functions were dropped in 0.6, which meant increasing the soname number.
- Library is meant for supporting the kernel devdev interface.
- Testsuite compiles, but requires root and the uinput kernel module for
running the tests. So they are not run by default.
UI standards: (generally only for user-facing applications)
- n/a
Dependencies:
build-depends on check, debhelper, dh-autoreconf, doxygen, pkg-config and
python, all in main.
Standards compliance:
- Source packaging is lintian clean, debian/copyright exists, packaging uses
debhelper.
Maintenance:
- Low maintainance, can be taken on by the ubuntu-x-swat team.
Background information:
- This is a dependency of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in the 1.8 branch.
