Review for Source Package: uc-micro-py
[Summary]
The essence of the review result from the MIR POV is that this is a sound
package with very simple functionality and evidence of good support upstream.
MIR team ACK under the constraint to resolve the required and recommended TODOs.
This does not need a security review
List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main: uc-micro-py
Notes:
Required TODOs:
1. Update to the newest upstream version of the package before promotion. The
current packaged version in Ubuntu is 1.0.3 while the latest upstream is
2.1.0. A review was performed on the latest upstream version 2.1.0 and it is in
compliance with the MIR requirements.
Recommended TODOs:
- The package should get a team bug subscriber before being promoted
[Rationale, Duplication and Ownership]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
The rationale given in the report seems valid and useful for Ubuntu
[Dependencies]
OK:
no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
- uc-micro-py checked with `check-mir`
- all dependencies can be found in `seeded-in-ubuntu` (already in main)
- none of the (potentially auto-generated) dependencies (Depends and
Recommends) that are present after build are not in main
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring more
tests now.
Problems: None
[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries
RULE: Golang
OK:
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- No vendoring used, all Built-Using are in main
- Does not include vendored code
Problems: None
[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
an untrusted source.
- does not expose any external endpoint (port/socket/... or similar)
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates,
signing, ...)
- this makes appropriate (for its exposure) use of established risk
mitigation features (dropping permissions, using temporary environments,
restricted users/groups, seccomp, systemd isolation features,
apparmor, ...)
Problems: None
[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- This does not need special HW for build or test
- This package does not have autopkgtests or build time tests because it is
simply a library that is used and tested by linkify-it-py autopkgtests. This
package has no functionality by itself.
Problems: None
[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does carry a delta, but it is reasonable and maintenance under
control
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- debian/watch is present and looks ok (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is slow - roughly annual releases
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is slow - one to two times per year
- The current release is 5 point releases behind and should be updated before
being brought to main (v1.0.3 in Ubuntu vs v2.1.0 upstream)
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list
Problems:
- The current version in Ubuntu is 1.0.3 and the latest upstream version is
2.1.0. This is five releases behind and should be updated before admission to
main.
[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as we can check it)
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (the language has no direct MM)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside tests)
- no use of user 'nobody' outside of tests
- no use of setuid / setgid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit or libseed
- not part of the UI for extra checks
- part of the UI, desktop file is ok
- no translation present, but none needed for this case (user visible)?
- translation present
Problems: None
