Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/rabbitmsq-server; available for all supported architectures.

2. Rationale:

   • Apart of the canonical Application support spec.

3. Security:

   • No CVE entries.

   • No Secunia history.

   • No binaries running as root or suid/sgid. Daemons are started through running erlang.
   • Opens up 5673. Due to the nature of rabbit-mq it handles incoming data.
   • It directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data.
   • No source code review performed.

4. Quality assurance:

   • The situations where rabbitmq server does not start out of the box is that it might not be configured for the users network.
   • No debconf questions asked.

   • Debian bugs

   • Maintenance in Debian is vigorous.

   • Upstream is vigorous.

   • No upstream bug tracker, it looks like bugs are reported through the
   • No special hardware is required.
   • No testsuite included.

5. Standards compliance:

   • FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

   • Uses cdbs but has debhelper as a build dependency.

6. Dependencies:

   • cdbs - in main

   • debhelper (>= 5) - in main

   • erlang-dev - in main
   • python-simplejson - in main
   • erlang-base | erlang-base-hipe - not in main
   • erlang-ssl - not in main
   • erlang-os-mon - not in main
   • erlang-mnesia - not in main
   • adduser - in main
   • logrotate - in main

7. Maintenance:

* Since there are no ubuntu changes the package can just be synced from debian. The ubuntu server team will be responsible for the maintaing the package in Ubuntu
