** Description changed: [Availability] The package libsub-prototype-perl is already in Ubuntu universe. The package libsub-prototype-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x, i386 Link to package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsub-prototype-perl [Rationale] The package libsub-prototype-perl is required in Ubuntu main as a Test and Runtime dependency of libsub-override-perl, a package already in main. This - dependency was recently introduced in libsub-override-perl version 0.11-1 + depedency was recently introduced in libsub-override-perl version 0.11-1 (currently in Oracular proposed). There doesn't appear to be alternative packages with the same functionality available in the archive. The package libsub-prototype-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later than August 15th 2024 (Feature Freeze for OO) so that new version of libsub-override-perl can migrate to the release pocket before release. [Security] No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past The package is a very simple Perl library/module. After inspecting the package, I found: - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin` - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024). - Package does not expose any external endpoints - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...) The package does not use security related algorithms, insecure or otherwise. [Quality assurance - function/usage] The package works well right after install - <to-be-completed> + [Quality assurance - maintenance] + - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does + not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs + - The package has no open bugs in Ubuntu, other than this one ;) + - The package has no open bugs in Debian + - Tracker links: + - Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsub-prototype-perl/+bug + - Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libsub-prototype-perl + - metacpan: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Sub-Prototype + - Upstream: https://github.com/karenetheridge/Sub-Prototype + - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support + + Upstream has not seen any updates for 5 years, but there are also no pending + PRs.
