Public bug reported:
[ Availability ]
The package is already available in universe.
[ Rationale ]
The intent is to seed the package in the Ubuntu Server & Desktop for
Raspberry Pi images. The purpose of the package is to warn about sub-
standard or deficient power supplies on the Raspberry Pi 5 boards.
[ Security ]
The are no current CVEs for the project, but it is extremely new so this
is no surprise. Canonical is the upstream for the project.
[ Quality Assurance ]
There are no currently outstanding bugs for the package in Launchpad
(again, it's new). The project contains a full coverage test suite, that
is run during package build, and includes a DEP-8 test which also runs
the test suite. The package includes a d/watch file.
[ UI Standards ]
The user interface is fairly minimal. On server images, it operates as
an motd plugin, outputting a few lines of text in the event of reset due
to brownout, or power supplies that fail to negotiate a 5A feed. On
desktop images, it provides notifications by way of the DBus-based
notification service (which appear as notifications at the top-center of
the GNOME desktop).
All text output by the application is localizable although no
translations currently exist in the package.
[ Dependencies ]
All runtime dependencies of the project are in main.
[ Standards Compliance ]
The package follows up to date Debian policy (4.6.2) and debhelper
compatibility (13). The packaging format is 3.0 quilt, and in most other
respects the packaging is very simple.
[ Maintenance / Owner ]
The package will be maintained by the foundations team.
[ Background Information ]
The project mirrors capabilities present in RaspiOS to notify the user
of undervolt or overcurrent situations, resets caused by brownout, and
power supplies that fail to negotiate the 5A that the Pi 5 requires for
"full" operation (including USB/NVMe boot, and full provision of power
to the USB ports). Unfortunately the RaspiOS implementation is tied to
the wayfire panel in use on their desktop, so we could not directly re-
use it.
However, the logic involved is simple (check device-tree nodes on boot,
monitor certain udev events), so this project re-implements it using the
MOTD and DBus notification mechanisms instead (which should also operate
reliably on all flavours of Ubuntu).
