Main Inclusion Report for libffado
Requirements
Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libf/libffado/; available for i386 and amd64 architectures.
Rationale:
Security:
CVE entries: none
Secunia history: none
Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ? No binaries running as root or suid root, one daemon, which is a dbus server.
Network activity: does it open any port ? no
Does it handle incoming network data ? no
Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ? Yes, processes audio to and from firewire audio devices.
Quality assurance:
In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ? None, details below:
- The shared library libffado1 is used by jack-audio-connection-kit to work with firewire audio devices. Jack itself needs to be configured to use firewire audio via libffado.
- Most if not all firewire audio hardware require firmware to be uploaded to the device using tools from the ffado-tools package, before they can be used. The firmware in question has to be obtained from Windows drivers.
Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ? no
Debian bugs: (mention any that are particularly relevant, and any showstoppers) None found for libffado, libffado-dbus-server, libffado-mixer-qt4, libffado-tools, libffado-dev or libffado1
Maintenance in Debian is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? Maintenances in Debian appears to be vigorous
Upstream is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? There appears to be vigorous activity upstream
Upstream bug tracker: (mention any particularly relevant or critical) no noticeably relevant or critical bugs
Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ? This package does deal with audio hardware via firewire. Such hardware is commonly in use by audio/video enthusiasts/professionals.
Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? Is it enabled to run in the build ? Yes there is a test suite, and it is enabled in the upstrea build system.
UI standards:
User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ? No internationalized strings.
Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ? No translatable strings.
End-user applications ship a desktop file ? Yes.
Standards compliance:
FHS, Debian Policy compliance ?
- The package is FHS compliant.
- A slight concern about some python files not being placed in a standard location so pycentral/python-support can handle them, however this may require more work than its worth with the upstrea build system to fix.
- Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
- CDBS packaging system
- no patch system used
- The package code does not get built when debian/rules is called with the build target. The code gets built when calling the binary target only.
Dependencies:
debhelper
scons,
cdbs
cdbs
dbus
python
python-dbus
python-qt4
pyqt4-dev-tools
dh-buildinfo
pyqt-tools
python-qt4-dbus
autotools-dev
expat
glib2.0
glibmm2.4
libiec61883
libraw1394
libxml++2.6
libxml2
Are these all in main ? yes
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.) Little maintenance should be required
Who is responsible for monitoring the quality of this package and fixing its bugs ? Are they Ubuntu or Debian developers ? Upstream (FFADO) developers along with Ubuntu and Debian developers
Who is the package bug contact in Ubuntu? (Needs one if its a nontrivial package which does not fully maintain itself through Debian) Ubuntu Studio developers
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. It should already be clear
What do upstream call this software ? Has it had different names in the past ? Upstream calls this software FFADO (Free FireWire Audio Drivers). It was previously known as FreeBoB
Internationalization:
Are graphical applications translatable? No.
Do they support gettext? No.
