Main Inclusion Report for sourcepackage

Requirements

1. Availability: [http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nut]; available for all supported architectures.

2. Rationale:

   • https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerPackageReview

3. Security:

   • [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=nut CVE entries]: none

   • [http://secunia.com/search/?search=PRODUCT_NAME Secunia history]: none

   • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
     • there are 2 daemons and a set of utils. some of them run as root.
   • Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?
     • Yes. it's a client/server based set of tools.
   • Any source code review performed ? (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)

4. Quality assurance:

   • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ?
     • Requires manual configuration as the external hw is not always autodetectable.
   • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ?

     • yes but only if upgrading from versions < 2.2.0 for the core package and < 2.0.1 for the nut-cgi package.

   • [http://bugs.debian.org/src:nut Debian bugs]: Several bugs at different severities.

   • [http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nut.html Maintenance in Debian] is very calm

   • [http://random.networkupstools.org/ Upstream] is active

   • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ?
     • Yes. It deals with external UPS'es. Not extremely exotic.

5. Standards compliance:

   • [http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ FHS], [http://www.de.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ Debian Policy].

     • Package looks FHS compliant, lintian complains on a bunch of things and the nut-dev package doesn't provide shared libraries (only static).
   • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
     • dpatch.

6. Dependencies:

   • Are these all in main ?
     • Build-deps and Depends are all in main.
