Hi,
I wanted to give an update on the current status.
First of all thanks Mathieu for the reivew.
1. Dependeny:
Yes we are only suggesting from chrony and don't "need" it in main for that (we
do not intent to depend/recommened there). Instead we want to seed gpsd to be
in main (no default install, just be in main) to make up for the lost function
of Time-HW support due to the demotion of ntp.
2. python2 concerns
I agree to your concern to not add new py2, but we only want the gpsd package
itself, not all the auxiliary tools in main. And this is a compiled binary,
without any python. It will dpeend on libgpsd23 library, but that is non-python
as well.
file $(dpkg -L libgps23 gpsd | xargs) | cut -c 42-108 | sort | uniq -c
7 ASCII text
3 ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamic
1 POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
24 directory
7 gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size
1 symbolic link to ../libgps23/changelog.Debian.gz
1 symbolic link to libgps.so.23.0.0
1 0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamic
1 gz: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size
TL;DR: the binaries we want is gpsd + libgps23 (due to dependency), no
python concerns on these
3. Lintian warnings
You are right, I missed to check these (self-slap) I'd try to work on these
somewhen next cycle to get things right.
Note to myself: the base package has a python recommends that is not required
IMHO
I hope that after the work for #3 and my explanations for #1 and #2 above we
are good from the MIR teams side.
Once I'm done on that I'll open it up for your re-review.
I talked with the security team and they will try to check the package.
Hopefully we will get all together for 19.04 - updated packaging, apparmor
profile, security review - and can then make this available in main.
