Main inclusion report for python-gdata

Requirements

1. Availability:

   • http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python/python-gdata on all supported archs.

2. Rational:

   • The new version of totem that will ship with Hardy includes a youtube search plug-in. That plugin requires python-gdata to operate properly.

3. Security:

   • https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-gdata/+bugs shows no security bugs.

   • [http://secunia.com/products] shows no security vulnerabilities.

   • Just a python modulel There are no daemons, suid programs, or programs installed to {,usr}/sbin.

4. QA:

   • Only a (small) library (~84 KB)
   • Will prevent large numbers of bugs about totem not working properly

   • [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=python-gdata Debian Bugs] - very few.

5. Standards Compliance

   • Earlier versions (included with <= gutsy) seemed to have issues with "import elementtree", but those appear to be fixed in Hardy

6. Dependencies:

   • Will first depend on python-elementtree being included. See MainInclusionReportPythonElementtree for status.
