** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: deja-dup
+ ::Note that I've dropped old description to focus on MIR requirements::
- Deja-dup is a great software for backup (from scratch and incremental).
- would good see this simple backup tool for 'human begins' in main.
- This software is good completely or in part for these blueprints:
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/continuous-backups
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/jaunty-backup ->
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/Backup
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/backup-wiz
+ For Ubuntu 11.10, the plan was to add the Deja Dup backup tool to the
+ default desktop install. This is a MIR request to add deja-dup and its
+ dependencies into main.
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/backup-manager-support
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/home-user-backup
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/safehouse
+ Note that deja-dup should not yet go into main. I'm filing this now so
+ that the packages can be pre-reviewed. I'm waiting for Ubuntu One
+ support to land in duplicity so that I can remove the python-boto and
+ python-rackspace-cloudfiles Recommends. Thus, note that those do not
+ need to be reviewed as MIRs because they won't be there when deja-dup
+ hits main.
- There are packages for jaunty, karmic and lucid in repository with some
traslate language (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/deja-dup).
- (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/324388)
+ Home pages:
+ * Deja Dup: https://launchpad.net/deja-dup
+ * Duplicity: https://launchpad.net/duplicity
+ * librsync: http://librsync.sourceforge.net/
- This software is maintained and use launchpad for translate and bugs
+ Availability: All are in universe and successfully build on all
+ architectures
- I would see this software in main, not in universe for Lucid Lynx.
+ Rationale: Needed to meet 'Deja Dup by default' blueprint approved for
+ oneiric

+ Security:
+ * No CVEs for deja-dup itself.
+ * Duplicity has one old CVE
(http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=duplicity)
+ * Quite a few for rsync
(http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=rsync) but as far as I can
tell, they all deal with the client program or daemon, not the library.
+ * No daemons or privileged binaries installed.
- Thanks
+ Quality assurance:
+ * I maintain deja-dup upstream and in Ubuntu. It's slightly less cared-for
in Debian. Duplicity and librsync are well looked after in Debian, though I
also look after duplicity in Ubuntu.
+ * There is a deja-dup test suite, but it requires X/ldpt and the faking-X
code I have doesn't work 100% (especially now that ldtp is broken with gtk3).
I'm looking into it, but that's not short term.
+ * There are important bugs outstanding in Deja Dup
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup) but they are being looked after.
+ * duplicity bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity and
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity
+ * librsync bugs: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=56125&atid=479439
and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librsync
- Sorry me for my bad english
+ Maintenance:
+ * We're in sync with duplicity and librsync right now.
+ * As mentioned, I am upstream on deja-dup and maintain it and duplicity in
Ubuntu.
+
+ UI standards: check. Translatable, GNOME-y.
