Main Inclusion Report for pywebkitgtk

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pywebkitgtk; available for all supported architectures.

2. Rationale:

   • Needed for ubiquity on the live CD for the ubiquity-slideshow specification.

3. Security:

   • CVE entries: None

   • Secunia history: None

   • No binaries running as root or suid/sgid. No daemons.
   • Network activity: the underlying webkit library does network communication.
   • Likewise, it does not directly process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data.
   • No known source code review.

4. Quality assurance:

   • Being Python bindings to a library, the package works out of the box without configuration.
   • The package does not ask any debconf questions.

   • Debian bugs:

   • Maintenance in Debian is very active.

   • Upstream is very active.

   • Upstream bug tracker.

   • This package does not deal with hardware.
   • There is a test suite, but it does not run on build.

5. UI standards:

   • The Webkit GTK code uses gettext.
   • As this is not an end-user application, it does not ship a desktop file.

6. Standards compliance:

   • It is FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

   • It uses debhelper and dpatch. There are a few patches, but nothing odd.

7. Dependencies:

   • PyGTK, Webkit, and all the other dependencies are in main.

8. Maintenance:

   • Since we are syncing this package from Debian, minimal maintenance should be needed.
   • The Debian and Ubuntu GNOME maintainers are responsible for this package.

9. Background information:

   • The purpose of this application is to provide a Python API for the GTK WebKit code.

   • The upstream name for this software is pywebkitgtk.

10. Internationalization:

    • Graphical applications built with the widgets this package provide are translatable.
