== Requirements ==

 0. ''Availability:'' [[https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libusb-1.0]]; available for all supported architectures.
 0. ''Rationale:''
  * libusb-1.0 is a library to allow user-land applications to access USB devices.
  * The library is a build dependency of libdc1394-22, where it was introduced in Debian unstable with version 2.1.0-2 to enable support for IIDC-over-USB.
  * libdc1394-22 is itself a dependency of a large number of packages in main. 
 0. ''Security:''
  * [[http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libusb|CVE entries]]: '''None'''
  * [[http://secunia.com/search/?search=libusb|Secunia history]]: '''None'''
  * Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ?  Any daemons ? '''No'''
  * Network activity: does it open any port ?  Does it handle incoming network data ? '''Not directly, although consumers of the library might.'''
  * Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ? '''No'''
  * Any source code review performed ?  (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)
 0. ''Quality assurance:''
  * In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ? '''n/a'''
  * Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ? '''No'''
  * [[http://bugs.debian.org/src:libusb-1.0|Debian bugs]]: '''One M&W bug, nothing serious.'''
  * [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/libu/libusb-1.0.html|Maintenance in Debian]] '''seems to be vigorous.'''
  * [[http://libusb.wiki.sourceforge.net/|Upstream]] is '''calm. A new maintainer has taken over the project as of January 2008.'''
  * [[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?limit=10&func=&group_id=1674&atid=101674&assignee=&status=1&category=&artgroup=&keyword=&submitter=&artifact_id=&assignee=&status=&category=&artgroup=&submitter=&keyword=&artifact_id=&submit=Filter|Upstream bug tracker]]: '''Bugs are being fixed on a regular basis.'''
  * Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ? '''The library is designed to communicate with USB devices.'''
  * Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ?  '''No.''' Is it enabled to run in the build ? '''n/a'''
 0. ''UI standards:''
  * User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ? '''No'''
  * Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ? '''No'''
  * End-user applications ship a desktop file ? '''n/a'''
 0. ''Standards compliance:'' 
  * [[http://www.pathname.com/fhs/|FHS]], [[http://www.de.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/|Debian Policy]] compliance ? '''Yes'''
  * Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ?  Any packaging oddities ? '''Package uses debhelper and quilt. Quite straightforward.'''
 0. ''Dependencies:''
  * libc6
  * findutils
  * Are these all in main ? '''Yes'''
 0. ''Maintenance:''
  * How much maintenance is this package likely to need ? The package is simple and does not have any Ubuntu specific modifications. The maintenance effort is likely to be limited.
  * Who is responsible for monitoring the quality of this package and fixing its bugs ?  Are they Ubuntu or Debian developers ? '''Debian'''
 0. ''Background information:''
  * The general purpose and context of the package should be clear from the package's debian/control file.  If it isn't then please explain.
  * What do upstream call this software ? '''libusb.''' Has it had different names in the past ? '''No'''
 0. ''Internationalization:''
  * Are graphical applications translatable? Do they support gettext? '''No'''
