** Description changed: - TBD + [Availability] + The package src:dh-elpa is already in Ubuntu universe. + The package dh-elpa-helper build for the architectures it is designed to work on + It currently builds and works for architectures: all (arch independent) + Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-elpa|src:dh-elpa]] + + It is enough to promote the dh-elpa-helper binary to main. + + [Rationale] + - The package dh-elpa-helper is required in Ubuntu main as src:cmake dependency + - The package src:dh-helper will not generally be useful for a large part of + our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is a higher level + abstraction layer around src:emacsen-common that is used by src:cmake and + others to unify the installation of elpa packages (like "cmake-mode"). + - Additional reasons: we provided syntax highlighting and indentation for + CMakeLists.txt and *.cmake source files in emacs previously and do not want + to drop that. + - Additionally new use-cases enabled by this are: NONE, just keeping status quo + - Package dh-elpa covers the same use case as emacsen-common, but is better + because it is a higher level abstraction layer, thereby we want to put it on + top to avoid common errors such as https://bugs.debian.org/802915 + - The package dh-elpa-helper is a new runtime dependency of package cmake-data + that we already support + + [Security] + - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past + - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries + - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin` + - Package does not install services + - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024) + - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software + (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...) – it provides an extension to the + debhelper build environment, tho. + + [Quality assurance - function/usage] + - The package works well right after install – if elpa dehbehlper and + ${elpa:Depends} are being used + + [Quality assurance - maintenance] + - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many + and long term critical bugs open + - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-elpa/+bug => 0 bugs + - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=dh-elpa + => no critical bugs, but 1 long standing bug, classified as "important" + https://bugs.debian.org/886024 It cannot be reproduced by the upstream + developers and morphed more into a proposal that the maintainers are + unconvinced of, therefore it stalled + => Another interesting bug is https://bugs.debian.org/995936 that is being + discussed as of recently and would remove the Ubuntu delta if resolved. + - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support + + [Quality assurance - testing] + - The package does not run a test at build time. ELPA_NAME is set and ./dh_elpa + executed but that doesn't seem to fail the build anything is wrong. + - The package does not run an autopkgtest because non is provided in + debian/tests + - README.org states a limitation: "This tool is currently not very well tested." + - We could try adding an autopkgtest that builds a simple elpa package, as + descibed in https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam/elpa-hello, that + we could maybe also run at build time. + + [Quality assurance - packaging] + - debian/watch is present and works + - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors + => out-of-date-standards-version could/should be updated + - Link to recent build log including a lintian run https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4GRz5zJS8w/ + - Lintian overrides are present, but ok because debian/watch is present, even + though this is a native package, but watchfile is used with pkg-emacsen PET + - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages. + - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies + - The package will not be installed by default + - Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/km3WdffNcJ/ + + [UI standards] + - Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation) + + [Dependencies] + - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main + + [Standards compliance] + - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy + + [Maintenance/Owner] + - Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion + => I suggest the desktop team to take care of this package, as it is an + abstraction layer above emacsen-common, that is being owned by the desktop + team. + - This does not use static builds + - This does not use vendored code + + [Background information] + - The Package description explains the package well + - Upstream Name is dh-elpa + - Link to upstream project https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/dh-elpa + - This package is a native Debian package, created & maintained by the Debian + Emacsen team. + + [TODO] + I suggest the following TODOs before this is ready for promotion: + - subscribe ~desktop-packages (as this is a higher level abstraction of + emacsen-common) + - merge the latests upstream version from Debian + - update the standards version + - add an autopkgtests to build a simple "elpa-hello" package, as described in + https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam/elpa-hello
