Main Inclusion Report for aoetools

Requirements

  1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/aoetools; available for all supported architectures.

  2. Rationale:

  3. Security:

    • CVE entries: no entries (also checked for more generic aoe).

    • Secunia history: no entries (same as above)

    • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
      • No binaries running as suid/sgid, no daemons. The tools are config tools for the aoe kernel modules and need to be executed as root.
    • Network activity: it doesn't open any port and it doesn't need to handle incoming network data.
    • Any source code review performed ? (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)

      • Yes. Copyright size is bigger than the entire code put together.
  4. Quality assurance:

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

      • The init script to automount aoe devices require some configuration to make sure AOE traffic is not sent to all or the wrong interface (NOTE: AOE IS NOT TCP/IP BASED).
    • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?
      • No debconf questions asked at all.
    • Debian bugs: none of relevance.

    • Maintenance in Debian is calm

    • Upstream is vigorous

    • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ?
      • No specific hw requirements are set to run this package.
  5. Standards compliance:

    • FHS, Debian Policy compliance ? Yes the package is compliant with both FHS and debian policy.

    • Debian library packaging guide standards compliance ? Does not provide libraries.

    • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ? none.
  6. Dependencies:

    • Are these all in main ? All dependencies and build-deps are in main.
