Main Inclusion Report for ilmbase

Requirements

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

  2. Rationale:

    • Build dependency of openexr 1.6.1 (libopenexr6)
    • When upstream released OpenEXR 1.6.1, they factored out some of the codebase into a seperate tarball, called Ilmbase. Ilmbase was auto-synced from Debian unstable.
      • In order to sync openexr from Debian unstable, Ilmbase must be in main.
  3. Security:

    • CVE entries: None

    • Secunia history: None

    • No binaries or daemons running as root.
    • Network activity: None
    • Handles image data: From OpenEXR, OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

    • No source code review/security audit performed to author's knowledge.
  4. Quality assurance:

    • Works out of the box.
    • Does not ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium'.
    • Debian bugs: No major relevant bugs.

    • Maintenance in Debian is calm. There is an active maintainer, Adeodato Simó, who has addressed bug reports and patches as they have come up.

    • Upstream is calm. Stable releases with periodic updates to address bugs and other issues.

    • Upstream bug tracker: FTBFS with G++4.3. Addressed in Debian package.

    • Hardware: Does not deal with hardware,
    • There is a test suite in the upstream source. It is enabled to run after the build.
  5. Standards compliance:

  6. Dependencies:

    • autotools-dev
    • debhelper
    • All dependencies in main.
  7. Background information:

    • Used to be part of OpenEXR's main tarball, but factored out into its own release as of OpenEXR 1.6.1.
