** Description changed:
[Availability]
The package showtime is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package showtime build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: all except i386
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime
[Rationale]
- The package showtime is required in Ubuntu main as a default video player
for Ubuntu Desktop.
- The package showtime will generally be useful for a large part of our user
base
- Package showtime covers the same use case as totem, but is better because
it is more actively maintained and has improved UI/UX, thereby we want to
replace it. GNOME Core officially switched from totem to showtime for GNOME 49
and we want to do that swap too.
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
should go universe->main instead of this.
- This is the first time package will be in main
- The binary package showtime needs to be in main to achieve a better video
player for Ubuntu Desktop.
- All binary packages built by showtime need to be in main. (There is only
one binary package.)
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
package showtime in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
[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, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install
[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does not have
too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
- Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime
- Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=showtime
- Upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime/-/issues
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
[Quality assurance - testing]
The package runs a few trivial metadata validation tests on build time, if it
fails it makes the build fail, link to build log
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64
It does not run more extensive tests because build time tests wouldn't
do a very good job of testing this app's specific functionality. The app
is mostly a frontend to gstreamer which does have a stronger testing
story.
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it is a GUI video
player app and autopkgtest isn't a good fit for this kind of package. To
make up for that, we have detailed test plans for GStreamer and
Showtime,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GStreamer
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/Showtime
Due to the nature, integration and use cases of the package the
consequences of a regression that might slip through most likely
would include users not being able to playback media files.
[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- Please link to a recent build log of the package
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.0-1/+latestbuild/amd64
- Please attach the full output you have got from `lintian --pedantic` as an
extra post to this bug.
- Lintian overrides are not present
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
questions
- Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/showtime/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/rules
[UI standards]
- Application is end-user facing, Translation is present, via standard gettext
- End-user applications that ships a standard conformant desktop file, see
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/showtime/-/blob/debian/latest/data/org.gnome.Showtime.desktop.in
[Dependencies]
- gir1.2-gst-plugins-bad1.0 being split to gir1.2-gst-plugins-extra-1.0 LP:
#2121050
Used check-mir from ubuntu-dev-tools to validate all other dependencies
or recommends are in main.
[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy
[Maintenance/Owner]
- The owning team will be debcrafters-packages and I have their
acknowledgment for that commitment
- The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to the
package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- This package is not rust based
- The package has been built within the last 3 months in the archive
- - Build link on launchpad:
+ - Build link on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/showtime/49.1-1
[Background information]
- The Package description explains the package well
- Upstream Name is showtime (user-visible name is Video Player)
- Link to upstream project https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime
-
For video thumbnailing, GNOME have recently released gst-thumbnailers,
https://gitlab.gnome.org/sophie-h/gst-thumbnailers/-/tags/1.0.alpha.1
The current plan is propose this for as MIR for 26.04, and if that isn't
done in time, to fallback to using the totem-video-thumbnailer in main.
