It is needed to be able to build PPS support into NTP (as per request in bug: #1512980) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1512980 [Security] This package doesn't seem to have known vulnerabilities as per Debian CVE, Ubuntu CVE, or othere vulnerabilities tracker https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/pps-tools http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/pps-tools.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi, searched for pps and pps-tools). There are some warnings though, because there is a hardening-no-relro warning and an ancient-standards-version warning. https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/b...@debian.org.html#pps-tools So, if the security requires it, we can create a temporary delta to fix those issues while reasonably request those changes to be included into Debian archives. [Quality assurance] This package is mainly needed because it contains the necessary headers to make PPS support available for NTP. There are some user-space binaries to allow setup and use of the PPS kernel discipline. This is the package description: This package includes the necessary headers for using LinuxPPS PPSAPI kernel interface in user-space applications and several support tools: * ppstest: PPSAPI interface tester * ppsldisc: setup correct RS232 line discipline * ppswatch: continuously print PPS timestamps * ppsctl: PPS device manager * ppsfind: find pps device by name [Dependencies] It only depends on 'already in main' dependencies. [Standards compliance] It complies to standard compliances (FHS and Debian policy). [Maintenance] Seems to not require much maintenance. Can be kept in sync with Debian, except if we need to change the build flags to add fPIE, bindnow, and relro. [Background information] This is a new dependency required to be able to build PPS support into NTP. ** Affects: pps-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: [Availability] The package is already present in universe: - pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | trusty/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el - pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | vivid/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el - pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | wily/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el - pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | xenial/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x - + pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | trusty/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el + pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | vivid/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el + pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | wily/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el + pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | xenial/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x + It is in sync with debian: pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | oldstable | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | stable | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | stable-kfreebsd | source pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | testing | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x pps-tools | 0.20120406+g0deb9c7e-2 | unstable | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390 [Rationale] - This package is a new build-dependency for NTP.
