Main Inclusion Report for Jack-Audio-Connection-Kit (JACK)
Requirements
Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/j/jack-audio-connection-kit; Available for all supported architectures.
Rationale:
Security:
No CVE entries known.
No Secunia history known
Only binaries in jackd, none of which are suid/sgid. Note: realtime capabilities are nowadays granted to users/groups though /etc/security/limits.conf
- jackd is of course a daemon, but is not automatically started on startup
- jackd does not listen for network connections itself - it requires the installation of a separately available 'netjack' driver for this.
- No source code review is performed that we know of.
Quality assurance:
- In what situation does the package not work out of the box without configuration?
- Jack needs some audio output device to connect to in order to start. This might fail if such a device is not available, or if another process is keeping a device occupied that does not support multiple concurrent connections.
Some configuration may be required for optimal performance (i.e. low latency) depending on the audio card used. Configuration instruction are available at help.ubuntu.com.
- Does the package ask any debconf questions highter than priority 'medium'?
- Jack does not ask any debconf questions.
Debian bugs: only wishlist items are open right now
Maintenance in Debian: Is calm
Upstream: Is vigorous
Upstream bug tracker: nothing particularly relevant or critical there either it seems
- Hardware: This package deals well with most commonly available consumer and semi- and professional audio cards.
- Is there a test stuie in the upstream source or packaging?
- Is it enabled to run in the build?
- In what situation does the package not work out of the box without configuration?
UI standards:
- User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ?
- Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ?
- End-user applications ship a desktop file ?
Standards compliance:
FHS, Debian Policy compliance ?
Debian library packaging guide standards compliance ?
- Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
Dependencies:
- ...
- Are these all in main ?
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.)
- Who is responsible for monitoring the quality of this package and fixing its bugs ? Are they Ubuntu or 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)
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 ?
Internationalization:
- Are graphical applications translatable? Do they support gettext?
