** Description changed:

  [Availability]
  The package rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 build for the architectures it is designed 
to work on.
  It currently builds and works for all Ubuntu architectures except for i386
  Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-gst-plugin-gtk4
  
  [Rationale]
  - The package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 (built from source rust-gst-plugin-gtk4) is 
required in Ubuntu main for gnome-snapshot
  - The package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 will generally be useful for a large part of 
our user base
  - The package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 is a new runtime dependency of package 
gnome-snapshot that we already support
  - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or 
should go universe->main instead of this.
  - The binary package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 needs to be in main to achieve keeping 
gnome-snapshot up-to-date and supported.
  
  - The package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 is required in Ubuntu main no later than 
February 20 due to Ubuntu 25.04 Feature Freeze
  Practically, we will likely need a Feature Freeze Exception for this.
  
  [Security]
  - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
  
  - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
  - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
  - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
  
  [Quality assurance - function/usage]
  - The package works well right after install
  
  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
  - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does not have 
too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
  + Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-gst-plugin-gtk4
  + Debian 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=rust-gst-plugin-gtk4
  + Upstream https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/issues
  (upstream uses a monorepo; the relevant bugs for this package are the ones 
that involve gtk4)
  
  - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
  
  [Quality assurance - testing]
- RULE: - The package must include a non-trivial test suite
- RULE:   - it should run at package build and fail the build if broken
- TODO-A: - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
- TODO-A:   it makes the build fail, link to build log TBD
- TODO-B: - The package does not run a test at build time because TBD
+ - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build 
fail, link to build log
+ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-gst-plugin-gtk4/0.13.3-2
  
- RULE:   - The package should, but is not required to, also contain
- RULE:     non-trivial autopkgtest(s).
- TODO-A: - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
- TODO-A:   this TBD list of architectures, link to test logs TBD
- TODO-B: - The package does not run an autopkgtest because TBD
+ - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on all 
architectures except i386, link to test logs
+ https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/rust-gst-plugin-gtk4
  
- RULE: - existing but failing tests that shall be handled as "ok to fail"
- RULE:   need to be explained along the test logs below
- TODO-A: - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
- TODO-B: - The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but 
since
- TODO-B:   they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
- TODO-B:   ok because TBD
+ - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
  
- RULE: - If no build tests nor autopkgtests are included, and/or if the package
- RULE:   requires specific hardware to perform testing, the subscribed team
- RULE:   must provide a written test plan in a comment to the MIR bug, and
- RULE:   commit to running that test either at each upload of the package or
- RULE:   at least once each release cycle. In the comment to the MIR bug,
- RULE:   please link to the codebase of these tests (scripts or doc of manual
- RULE:   steps) and attach a full log of these test runs. This is meant to
- RULE:   assess their validity (e.g. not just superficial).
- RULE:   If possible such things should stay in universe. Sometimes that is
- RULE:   impossible due to the way how features/plugins/dependencies work
- RULE:   but if you are going to ask for promotion of something untestable
- RULE:   please outline why it couldn't provide its value (e.g. by splitting
- RULE:   binaries) to users from universe.
- RULE:   This is a balance that is hard to strike well, the request is that all
- RULE:   options have been exploited before giving up. Look for more details
- RULE:   and backgrounds https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir/issues/30
- RULE:   Just like in the SRU process it is worth to understand what the
- RULE:   consequences a regression (due to a test miss) would be. Therefore
- RULE:   if being untestable we ask to outline what consequences this would
- RULE:   have for the given package. And let us be honest, even if you can
- RULE:   test you are never sure you will be able to catch all potential
- RULE:   regressions. So this is mostly to force self-awareness of the owning
- RULE:   team than to make a decision on.
- TODO: - The package can not be well tested at build or autopkgtest time
- TODO:   because TBD. To make up for that:
- TODO-A:   - We have access to such hardware in the team
- TODO-B:   - We have allocated budget to get this hardware, but it is not here
- TODO-B:     yet
- TODO-C:   - We have checked with solutions-qa and will use their hardware
- TODO-C:     through testflinger
- TODO-D:   - We have checked with other team TBD and will use their hardware
- TODO-D:     through TBD (eg. MAAS)
- TODO-E:   - We have checked and found a simulator which covers this case
- TODO-E:     sufficiently for testing, our plan to use it is TBD
- TODO-F:   - We have engaged with the upstream community and due to that
- TODO-F:     can tests new package builds via TBD
- TODO-G:   - We have engaged with our user community and due to that
- TODO-G:     can tests new package builds via TBD
- TODO-H:   - We have engaged with the hardware manufacturer and made an
- TODO-H:     agreement to test new builds via TBD
- TODO-A-H: - Based on that access outlined above, here are the details of the
- TODO-A-H:   test plan/automation TBD (e.g. script or repo) and (if already
- TODO-A-H:   possible) example output of a test run: TBD (logs).
- TODO-A-H:   We will execute that test plan
- TODO-A-H1:  on-uploads
- TODO-A-H2:  regularly (TBD details like frequency: monthly, infra: jira-url)
- TODO-X:   - We have exhausted all options, there really is no feasible way
- TODO-X:     to test or recreate this. We are aware of the extra implications
- TODO-X:     and duties this has for our team (= help SEG and security on
- TODO-X:     servicing this package, but also more effort on any of your own
- TODO-X:     bug triage and fixes).
- TODO-X:     Due to TBD there also is no way to provide this to users from
- TODO-X:     universe.
- TODO-X:     Due to the nature, integration and use cases of the package the
- TODO-X:     consequences of a regression that might slip through most likely
- TODO-X:     would include
- TODO-X:     - TBD
- TODO-X:     - TBD
- TODO-X:     - TBD
+ - This package is minimal and will be tested in a more wide reaching solution 
context when testing snapshot, details about this testing are here
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GnomeSnapshot
  
- RULE: - In some cases a solution that is about to be promoted consists of
- RULE:   several very small libraries and one actual application uniting them
- RULE:   to achieve something useful. This is rather common in the go/rust 
space.
- RULE:   In that case often these micro-libs on their own can and should only
- RULE:   provide low level unit-tests. But more complex autopkgtests make no
- RULE:   sense on that level. Therefore in those cases one might want to test 
on
- RULE:   the solution level.
- RULE:   - Process wise MIR-requesting teams can ask (on the bug) for this
- RULE:     special case to apply for a given case, which reduces the test
- RULE:     constraints on the micro libraries but in return increases the
- RULE:     requirements for the test of the actual app/solution.
- RULE:   - Since this might promote micro-lib packages to main with less than
- RULE:     the common level of QA any further MIRed program using them will 
have
- RULE:     to provide the same amount of increased testing.
- TODO: - This package is minimal and will be tested in a more wide reaching
- TODO:   solution context TBD, details about this testing are here TBD
+ It was because of this testing that we recognized that we needed this
+ new binary dependency to update gnome-snapshot to a newer version.

  [Background information]
  The Package description explains the package well
  Upstream Name is rust-gst-plugin-gtk4
  Link to upstream project 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/tree/main/video/gtk4
  
  rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 will also be needed for Showtime, GNOME's new video
  player. GNOME is expected to switch from totem to showtime for GNOME 49
  (September 2025).
  
  Specifically, we only need the binary package gstreamer1.0-gtk4 in main.
  It is a gstreamer plugin so it's a runtime dependency of some apps.
