= 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: 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:
- 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.
- Jack does not ask any debconf questions.
Debian bugs: only wishlist items are open right now.
Maintenance in Debian is calm
Upstream is calm
Upstream bug tracker: nothing particularly relevant or critical there either it seems
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 ?
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 ?
