Main Inclusion Report for aoetools

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/aoetools

   • Available for all supported architectures or some subset ?

     • yes

2. Rationale:

   • Why is this package needed? What feature(s) does it add? Does upstream expect it? Plain text description of expected use

     • Eucalyptus and consequently the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud uses the in-kernel AOE driver. These user space utilities are very useful on systems using AOE, and should generally be installed on UEC nodes, to enable EBS functionality.

3. Security:

   • CVE entries: none

   • Secunia history: none

   • Any binaries running suid/sgid ?

     • none

   • Any daemons ?

     • yes

   • Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?

     • This is already handled by the in-kernel AOE driver; this package just adds some configuration/debugging utilities

   • 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.)

     • no

4. Quality assurance:

   • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ?

     • It always requires configuration to work.

   • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?

     • no

   • Debian bugs: (mention any that are particularly relevant, and any showstoppers)

     • 1 bug, no showstoppers

   • Maintenance in Debian is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ?

     • calm

   • Upstream is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ?

     • calm

   • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ?

     • no

   • Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? Is it enabled to run in the build ?

     • no

5. 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

6. Standards compliance:

   • FHS, Debian Policy compliance ?

     • yes

   • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?

     • debhelper, quilt, no

7. Dependencies:

   • Are these all in main ?

     • lsb-base, yes

8. Maintenance:

   • How much maintenance is this package likely to need ? (Simple packages may largely take care of themselves; complex packages will need dedicated developers paying attention to them.)

     • very, very, very little

   • Who is responsible for monitoring the quality of this package and fixing its bugs ? Are they Ubuntu or Debian developers ?

     • Canonical Ubuntu Server Team

   • Who is the package bug contact in Ubuntu? (Needs one if its a nontrivial package which does not fully maintain itself through Debian)

     • Canonical Ubuntu Server Team

9. 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.

     • Userspace configuration and debugging helper utilities for ATA-over-Ethernet network attached storage

   • What do upstream call this software ? Has it had different names in the past ?

     • aoetools, no

10. Internationalization:

    • Are graphical applications translatable? Do they support gettext?

      • n/a
