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.

Reviewers

MIR Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-gdata/+bug/178285

MartinPitt: python-elementtree is obsolete and should not be promoted to main. Python 2.5 ships it by default now. Thus the package needs to be fixed (preferably in Debian) to depend on python2.5 | python-elementtree.
