Public bug reported: [ Availability ] opal-prd has been in universe since xenial
[ Rationale ] IBM is requesting opal-prd be installed by hw-detect on OpenPower systems to provide "acpid-like" functionality on OpenPower systems. [ Security ] I can find no CVEs relating to skiboot or opal-prd, which could mean it's perfect, but probably means it's just not been abused thoroughly by anyone yet. Given a root daemon is involved, it could probably use a quick once-over. [ Quality ] skiboot is maintained in Debian by Frederic Bonnard, an IBM employee, has 0 open bugs in Debian, and 0 open bugs in Ubuntu. opal-prd installs a single daemon, asks no debconf questions, has systemd support, and comes configured correctly out of the box. [ Dependencies ] opal-prd has no dependencies outside main. [ Maintenance ] skiboot uses dh(1) style packaging, is lintian-clean, and the packaging is pretty clear and simple. ** Affects: skiboot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ubuntu Security Team (ubuntu-security) Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691557 Title: [MIR] opal-prd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skiboot/+bug/1691557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
