Main Inclusion Report for micro-evtd

This report is a draft.

Requirements

  1. Availability: http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/m/micro-evtd/; available for ARM only.

  2. Rationale:

    • Build dependency of debian-installer, needed for orion4x support
  3. Security:

    • CVE entries: None known issues

    • Secunia history: None

    • No binaries running as root or suid/sgid and no daemons ?
    • No network activity
    • No direct processing of binary data
    • Source code review performed by Loic Miner (lool):
      • Package uses /tmp when executing custom events
  4. Quality assurance:

    • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ?
    • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?
    • Debian bugs: 0

    • Maintenance in Debian is calm

    • Upstream development is calm.

    • This package enables the use of LEDs, fan control, and the internal speaker on Kuro/Linkstation boxes. A vast majority of users will not need this package.
    • No test suite
  5. UI standards:

    • User-visible strings are NOT internationalized using standard gettext system.
    • No internationalization system, thus package does not builds a PO template during package build.
  6. Standards compliance:

  7. Dependencies:

    • debhelper, and quilt; all dependencies are in main
  8. Maintenance:

    • Package is likely to be low maintenance, and fairly simple. It is actively maintained in Debian (no outstanding bugs)
    • This package is solely maintained in Debian by Per Andersson.
  9. Background information:

    • micro-evtd is a simple userpsace interface to the micro controllers on Linkstation/Kuro ARM NASes, which allow userspace apps to set LEDs, fans, or access the internal speaker
    • Upstream calls this package micro-evtd
  10. Internationalization:

    • No graphical applications
