Main Inclusion Report for gegl

Scope

gegl is needed for gimp 2.6 as the engine of new gimp version. Gimp is obviously in main.

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gegl; available for i386 and amd64

2. Rationale:

   • New build dependency for Gimp 2.5 and so... 2.6, part of default installation
   • The package is a new build dependency or dependency of a package that we already support.

3. Security:

   • No CVE entries
   • No secunia history
   • No binaries running as root or suid/sgid. No daemon either.
   • Doesn't open any port

4. Quality assurance:

   • The package does not need configuration file (only ldconfig is called on configure)
   • No debconf call.

   • Debian bugs: no showstoppers

   • Maintenance in Debian is active (last version available)

   • Upstream is vigorous (new component)

   • Upstream bug tracker

   • Glib test program available in the build and activated in intrepid (made from the ./configure)

5. Standards compliance:

   • FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

   • Debian library packaging guide standards compliant.

   • Packaging system is cdbs. No patch system used.

6. Dependencies:

   • glel: libbabl-0.0-0 (babl will wait for inclusion in this MIR), libc6, libcairo2 , libgegl-0.0-0 (waiting for inclusion in this MIR), libglib2.0-0, libgtk2.0-0, libpng12-0

   • libglel-0.0.0: libbabl-0.0-0 (cf previously), libc6, libcairo2, libglib2.0-0, libgtk2.0-0, libjpeg62, libpango1.0-0, libpng12-0
   • libglel-0.0-dev: libgegl-0.0-0 (cf previously), libbabl-0.0-0-dev (cf previously)
   • libglel-0.0-doc: no dependency

7. Maintenance:

   • It is a young project, with a simple package, but upstream seems to be reactive as this a new vital part of gimp.
   • This package may be managed by the desktop team as a dependency of gimp.
