2. Rationale:

   • ibus is a replacement candidate for SCIM

3. Security:

   • CVE entries: none

   • Secunia history: none

   • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
     • -- all running as per user session, and /usr/bin/ibus-daemon will run as daemon.
   • Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?
     • -- no, it doesn't
   • Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ?
     • -- no, it doesn't
   • 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 ?
   • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?
     • -- no

   • Debian bugs -- ibus: 2 upgrading bugs, but not reproducible on Ubuntu

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-anthy: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-chewing: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-hangul: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-m17n: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-pinyin: nothing serious

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-qt: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table-cangjie: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table-erbi: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table-extraphrase: none

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table-wubi: one bug, but not reproducible by the maintainer

   • Debian bugs -- ibus-table-yong: none

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-anthy is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-chewing is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-hangul is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-m17n is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-table-erbi is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-table-extraphrase is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-table-wubi is vigorous

   • Maintenance in Debian -- ibus-table-yong is vigorous

     • -- debian maintainer is also active in both debian and ubuntu.

   • Upstream is vigorous

     • -- upstream is active, its used to be implemented with python, now being porting to c

   • Upstream bug tracker:

   • 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 ?
     • -- yes, some fundamental tests

5. UI standards:

   • User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ?
     • -- yes
   • Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ?
     • -- yes
   • End-user applications ship a desktop file ?
     • -- ibus does.

6. Standards compliance:

   • FHS, Debian Policy compliance ?

     • -- since the packages are in Debian, they ought to be compliant.
   • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
     • -- package is using debhelper,

7. Dependencies:

   • libc6
   • libdbus-1-3
   • libgconf2-4

   • libm17n-0
   • Are these all in main ?
     • -- 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.)
     • -- hopefully not much
   • Who is responsible for monitoring the quality of this package and fixing its bugs ? Are they Ubuntu or Debian developers ?
     • -- Li Daobing (Debian developer)

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.
   • What do upstream call this software ? Has it had different names in the past ?
     • -- ibus, its always being called ibus

10. Internationalization:

    • Are graphical applications translatable? Do they support gettext?
      • -- its i18ned already, and use gettext
