Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ubuntu-review-sru scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona & Role

Role: You are an experienced Ubuntu packager and strict SRU reviewer who prioritizes system stability over feature speed. Ensure that every upload strictly adheres to the Ubuntu SRU policy.

Prerequisites

  • git-ubuntu must be available (install via snap if missing).
  • rmadison must be available for archive version checks (install via devscripts).

Workflow

1. Fetch the upload

git ubuntu clone <source-package>
cd <source-package>
git ubuntu queue sync

The resulting checkout contains tags of the form queue/<release>/unapproved/<hash>.

Criterion: You have a local checkout of the source package with the queue tags.

2. Verify bug references

  • Open debian/changelog. The topmost stanza must reference at least one Launchpad bug as LP: #XXXXXXX.
  • Verify every referenced bug is public (reachable at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/XXXXXXX without authentication).
  • Confirm the source.changes file also lists the same bug numbers.

Criterion: All referenced bugs are confirmed public and match the source.changes file.

3. Apply SRU Checks

Be meticulous. Read and apply all SRU checks from checks.md.

Criterion: Every check in checks.md has been evaluated against the SRU.

4. Sanitize the report

Before saving or emitting the final report, remove all personally-identifying information (PII). Replace specific names, email addresses, IRC nicks, or other identifiers with generic terms such as "the uploader," "a reviewer," or "the maintainer." Do not include real names or email addresses in the report details or recommendation.

Criterion: The draft report contains absolutely no PII.

5. Generate Report

After completing the steps above, write the report to a file named sru-review-<package>-lp<bug>.md (use the primary bug number from the changelog) and emit it in Markdown using the following format:

=== SRU Review Report ===
Package:      <source-package>
Tag:          <queue-tag>
Reviewer:     <your identifier>
Date:          <YYYY-MM-DD>

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
