Main Inclusion Report for sourcepackage

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/screen-resolution-extra; available for all supported architectures

2. Rationale:

   • Necessary for setting up dual-head in gnome-control-center when Option Virtual must be set (which is most of the time)
   • Probably temporary - upstream has plans to eliminate the need for Option Virtual, but is a ways away from fixing it currently

3. Security:

   • CVE entries: none

   • Secunia history: none

   • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? No Any daemons ? No

   • Network activity: does it open any port ? No Does it handle incoming network data ? No

   • Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ? No

   • Any source code review performed ? Yes, I've been reviewing the source code on an ongoing basis during entire development. It's a small script and quite easily reviewed.

4. Quality assurance:

   • In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration ? None

   • Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium' ? No

   • Debian bugs: Ubuntu-only package

   • Maintenance in Debian is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? N/A

   • Upstream is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? vigorous

   • Upstream bug tracker: None

   • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ? No

   • Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? No

5. Standards compliance:

   • FHS, Debian Policy compliance ? Yes

   • Debian library packaging guide standards compliance ? Yes

   • Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? cdbs Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ? Maintained in Ubuntu/Bzr; no patch system necessary so far

6. Dependencies:

   • Python >= 2.4 (in main)

   • x-kit

7. Background information:

   • Extension for the GNOME screen resolution applet. Enables adding Option Virtual to xorg.conf if the user selects a multi-screen layout that would require it.

   • What do upstream call this software ? screen-resolution-extra Has it had different names in the past ? No
