Bug Description

Binary package hint: heartbeat

1. Availability: all

2. Rationale: The package helps meet https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-clusterstack blueprint goal. Needed binary packages are libheartbeat2 and libheartbeat2-dev. We don't need heartbeat binary cause we will use corosync as supported messaging layer. For those that would like to use heartbeat messaging layer, pacemaker needs to be compiled with libheartbeat2-dev.

3. Security: No CVEs (heartbeat 3 had no CVEs). Older versions had couple:

http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?id=CVE-2002-1215&ctype=cve

4. QA: Upstream is very active (http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/). There are 18 bugs in Debian and 14 in Ubuntu, most of them for older version of heartbeat (before the split).

5. UI standards: none

6. Dependencies: all in main, except cluster-glue and it's deps. MIRs:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openhpi/+bug/515976
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libesmtp/+bug/515996

7. Standards: Lintian warnings:

W binary-without-manpage
    usr/bin/cl_respawn
W init.d-script-has-bad-lsb-line
     /etc/init.d/heartbeat:36
W script-not-executable
     ./usr/share/heartbeat/cts/getpeinputs.sh

Package is packaged with debhelper and has no patching system.

8. Maintenance: easy

9. Background information: this package is one of dependencies for new cluster stack in Ubuntu. This package, cluster-agents and cluster-glue together form what was known as heartbeat 2.99.

Why is 3.0.2 not in Debian? It looks like 2.99 is in experimental; why can't that package be used instead of having a full fork in Ubuntu? I'm nervous about doing such a fork for an LTS.

Debian will base their packages for corosync/openais/pacemaker/heartbeat
on the same base Ubuntu packages are built. They'll most probably adopt
most (if not all) of our changes.

Debian is a bit slow in this area. 2.99 can't be used for anything any
more. It was a snapshot in development process.

Sounds okay to me, upstream is responsive to issues, and security looks good. +1

Do you still need this? We won't promote it until it gets seeded or depended on (and appears in component-mismatches)

Martin, yes we still need it. It's a dependecy for cluster-glue:
