Main Inclusion Report for mono-debugger
Requirements
Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mono-debugger; available for i386 and AMD64 - probably works on LPIA too, can add to list of architectures in Debian package if confirmed ?
Rationale:
Enables debugging of Mono-based apps & libraries (e.g. F-Spot, Tomboy, both in Main)
Security:
- No CVE entries
- No Secunia advisories
- No binaries running as root or suid/sgid. No daemons
- No Network activity
- Does not directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data - uses "Mono.Cecil" library to parse Mono libs/executables
- No source code review performed.
Quality assurance:
- Package works out of the box
- No debconf questions
Debian bugs: No Debian bugs
Maintenance in Debian is performed by active team collaboration
Upstream is active (mono-debugger is now updated in tandem with the rest of the Mono stack)
Upstream bug tracker: Seems there may be a bug on recent kernels (423518) causing issues
- Does not deal with hardware
- No test suite
UI standards:
- Not internationalized (very few text strings)
- Command-line app (no .desktop)
Standards compliance:
FHS, Debian Policy compliant.
Debian CLI Policy compliant
- Packaging system: Debhelper (v5)
Dependencies:
- libc6, libglib2.0-0, libmono-corlib2.0-cil, libmono-getoptions2.0-cil, libmono-system2.0-cil, libmono0, libmono1.0-cil, libncurses5, mono-runtime
- All in Main
- Dependency on libmono1.0-cil may be replaced by a new package during Jaunty development window (to help save disk space unnecessarily consumed by libmono1.0-cil dependencies)
Maintenance:
- Relatively small package, little work needed on a given release (but will need coaxing by a Mono-experienced developer for new upstream releases)
- Team maintained by pkg-mono in Alioth (pkg-mono and pkg-cli-* contributors include several DDs and Ubuntu Developers)
