Review: ardupilot 4.7.2+ds7-1
Package Information
| Description | ArduPilot vehicle simulators and Software-in-the-Loop tools ArduPilot is an autopilot for multicopters, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, rovers, boats, submarines and other unmanned vehicles. Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) runs the autopilot and simulated sensors and vehicle dynamics on a computer, without flight-controller hardware. This package includes Copter, Helicopter, Plane, Rover, Sub, Blimp and AntennaTracker simulators, the Replay log tool, and the ardupilot-sitl launcher. It also supplies vehicle models, parameter presets, locations and scripting examples. Ground stations can connect directly using MAVLink. The recommended MAVProxy package provides maps and joystick input from supported USB controllers or radio transmitters. SITL can also work with a separate simulator to model the vehicle's movement and surroundings, or to display the simulation graphically. The simulator and any plugins needed to connect it to SITL must be installed separately. |

Changelog
ardupilot (4.7.2+ds7-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Initial release (Closes: #1143989).
* Correct MAVLink, Bosch, sorttable, Sagetech, Webots, Google and
public-domain copyright and licence information following NEW review.
* Generate Built-Using from libcanard-dev's actual source package version.
* Document the existing Python-cache cleanup performed by dh_clean.
* Package all SITL vehicles, Replay and simulator resources, with a
launcher that uses the installed executables.
* Repack without
- lwIP and libcanard; skip unused lwIP sources in the
native-socket SITL build and document the separate libcanard
requirement.
- non-free Waf logos and unused PRU rangefinder and
Xilinx ISE examples whose third-party licence grants are unclear.
- bundled pymavlink and use python3-pymavlink; declare the accepted
python3-dronecan package as a build dependency.
- ChibiOS, CrashDebug and gSOAP modules.
- DroneCAN, dronecan_dsdlc and libcanard, which became Debian packages
in their own right.
- unused bundled GoogleTest and littlefs from the source archive.
* Make MAVProxy optional and document direct MAVLink connections from
alternative ground stations; skip MAVProxy when its executable is absent.
* Use python3-dronecan's matching DSDL definitions
- instead of the bundled DroneCAN DSDL tree
- removed bundled in
* Build without Git when submodule updates are disabled; omit developer
tools and terminal emulators from package recommendations.
* Maintain source-archive metadata and installed launcher fixes with quilt.
* Use Debian-packaged GoogleTest and pymavlink for the build.
* Add build-time and installed-package simulation checks and Salsa CI.
* Load the launcher's vehicle parameter presets in the SITL smoke tests..dsc

DFSG Assistant LLM REVIEW 1 blocker, 3 important, 1 minor
This is an LLM based review using a Debian Inference based workflow. It was not written by a member of the DFSG team and has not been checked by one. It is not a decision on the package: it may be wrong, and it may have missed things.

Report
DFSG NEW review for ardupilot version 4.7.2+ds7-1
Summary
- Licensing is DFSG-compliant and
debian/copyrightis accurate: No - Packaging is of good quality: Yes
- Issues: 1 blocker, 3 important, 1 minor
- debian/watch: version 5
- debian/copyright: machine-readable
- Scan before the review: 62 found
Licensing
Every licence found in the tree is free and the combination in the SITL binary is GPLv3-compatible (GPL-3+/GPL-3/GPL-2+/GPL-2, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3, Apache-2.0, BSD-2/3, Expat, Zlib, CC0, public domain), so there is no DFSG violation and no non-free file was found. debian/copyright is DEP-5 and unusually thorough, but it does not describe every file correctly: the blanket libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/* stanza declares Apache-2.0 and holders (Uros Platise, CUAV, CubePilot) that do not exist in the board files it reaches, and the two PX4 pinout JPGs under it are CC-BY-4.0 and unattributed; the ld/mcuconf stanza credits Bob Anderson for files that are ChibiOS/Giovanni Di Sirio's; and the waf stanza omits Jérôme Carretero, Alibek Omarov and Garmin International. Hence the licensing answer is no on the accuracy half.
Packaging
The packaging is competent and current: dh 13 with hardening, a single arch:any package, correct Build-Depends (test-only inputs marked <!nocheck>, which matches gtest.py returning early on --disable-tests), ${shlibs:Depends}/${misc:Depends}/${python3:Depends} present, a correct Built-Using generated from libcanard-dev's source:Package (= source:Version) as Policy 7.8 requires, DEP-3 patches that are coherent in their applied form, an autopkgtest that uses only loopback and a temporary directory, no maintainer scripts needed, Rules-Requires-Root: no, source format 3.0 (quilt), current Standards-Version, and Vcs-*/Homepage set. The only fault found is documentation: the installed man page and README.Debian advertise --gui and --list-locations, which the bundled sim_vehicle.py does not implement.
Issues
blocker licensing 1. The two PX4 pinout JPGs are CC-BY-4.0, but debian/copyright records them as Apache-2.0 and names neither PX4 nor the licence ◂
- Files:
debian/copyright:125-132,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/PH4-mini/README.md:21,205,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/Pixhawk4/README.md:22,205,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/PH4-mini/PH4-mini-pinout.jpg,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/Pixhawk4/pixhawk4-pinout.jpg - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence: Both READMEs end
Thanks to [PX4](...) for images used under the [CC-BY 4.0 license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), and the image references at line 21/22 arePH4-mini-pinout.jpgandpixhawk4-pinout.jpg. The only stanza reaching them isdebian/copyright:126libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/*withCopyright: 2011 Uros Platise. / 2011-2020 CUAV / 2021 Siddharth Bharat Purohit, CubePilot Pty Ltd / Siddharth Bharat Purohit 2017andLicense: Apache-2.0. - Problem: debian/copyright states the wrong licence and the wrong holders for two third-party files. CC-BY-4.0 requires attribution (author, licence and disclaimer) and is not Apache-2.0; under DEP-5 §5.2 and §6.6 each stanza's Copyright and License must hold for the files it matches, and the licence text or a pointer to /usr/share/common-licenses must be given. Nothing in the copyright file mentions PX4 or CC-BY-4.0, so the package ships the images without recording the terms they are under.
- Fix: Add a Files stanza covering the two JPGs (or their board directories) with
Copyright: PX4andLicense: CC-BY-4.0(the text is in /usr/share/common-licenses/CC-BY-4.0), and keep or extend the attribution already in the READMEs. Check the other vendor-credited board images (CubePilot, Holybro, GreenSight, ATOMRC, iFlight) at the same time and record each grant.

2. The libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/* stanza claims Apache-2.0 and Uros Platise/CUAV/CubePilot for the whole board-definition tree, where none of those applies
◂
- Files:
debian/copyright:125-132,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/MatekH743/hwdef.dat:1-2,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/CubeOrange/hwdef.dat:1-4,libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/NarinFC-H7/hwdef.dat:1,COPYING.txt:1 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
hwdef.datstarts# hw definition file for processing by chibios_pins.py/# for Matek H743-WINGwith no licence or copyright notice. A grep of the whole hwdef tree findsLicensed under the Apache Licenseonly inhwdef/common/(which has its own stanzas), andCopyrightonly inhwdef/common/*, inNarinFC-H7/hwdef.dat(# Copyright (c) 2011 - 2020, CUAV, BSD-3, covered by a later stanza) and in README credit lines. UpstreamCOPYING.txtis the GPL version 3 text. - Problem: Because DEP-5
*crosses directories and later stanzas only cover hwdef/common and the two NarinFC files, this stanza declares several hundred board hwdef.dat, README, image, PDF and XLSX files to be Apache-2.0 by holders listed there. None of the board files grants Apache-2.0, and the named holders own other files (Uros Platisecommon/flash.c; CUAVNarinFC-H7; CubePilot/Siddharthcommon/*andTools/debug/crash_debugger.py). Files without their own notice fall under the project's GPL-3+, so the copyright file overstates the permission granted and attributes the files to the wrong people, contrary to DEP-5 §5.2 and §6.6. - Fix: Delete or narrow this stanza. Give the ArduPilot-authored board files
License: GPL-3+under the project holders, with their own stanzas only where a file's notice differs; record the third-party board documents under their actual copyright and licence, or, where the vendor granted nothing verifiable, omit them from the source or obtain permission.

3. Copyright: for common.ld and the stm32*_mcuconf.h files names only Bob Anderson; they are ChibiOS files copyright Giovanni Di Sirio
◂
- Files:

- Evidence:
ChibiOS - Copyright (C) 2006..2015 Giovanni Di Siriois line 2 of common.ld and common_extf*.ld;ChibiOS - Copyright (C) 2006..2016/2006..2018 Giovanni Di Siriois line 2 of the eight stm32*_mcuconf.h files. Onlysysperf.c:2andsysperf.h:2sayAerospace Decoder - Copyright (C) 2018..2022 Bob Anderson (VK2GJ). The neighbouring stanza at 187-196 correctly gives the ChibiOS holder for mcuconf.h/halconf.h/stm32f47_mcuconf.h. - Problem: The stanza groups sysperf.* with five linker scripts and eight mcuconf headers and gives
2018-2022 Bob Anderson (VK2GJ)as the only holder for all fifteen files. For the thirteen ChibiOS files this omits the actual copyright holder and credits someone who wrote none of them, so debian/copyright does not describe those files accurately (DEP-5 §5.2/§6.6). - Fix: Put
sysperf.*in its own Apache-2.0 stanza with Bob Anderson, and givecommon.ld,common_extf*.ld,common_mixf.ldand the eightstm32*_mcuconf.hfilesCopyright: ChibiOS, 2006-2018 Giovanni Di SiriowithLicense: Apache-2.0.

4. Files: modules/waf/* names only Thomas Nagy, omitting Jérôme Carretero, Alibek Omarov and Garmin International
◂
- Files:
debian/copyright:468-472,modules/waf/waflib/extras/gdbus.py:3,modules/waf/waflib/extras/msvcdeps.py:3,modules/waf/waflib/extras/cfg_altoptions.py:6,modules/waf/waflib/extras/color_msvc.py:8,modules/waf/playground/gdbus/wscript:3 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
# Copyright Garmin International or its subsidiaries, 2018(gdbus.py, playground/gdbus/wscript) and2012-2013(msvcdeps.py);__copyright__ = "Jérôme Carretero, 2012-2014"in cfg_altoptions.py, color_gcc.py, color_rvct.py, cross_gnu.py, file_to_object.py, halide.py, remote.py, ticgt.py;__copyright__ = "Alibek Omarov, 2019"in color_msvc.py. The stanza at 468-472 hasCopyright: 2005-2018 Thomas Nagyonly. - Problem: The BSD-3-clause notices themselves are retained in the files, but debian/copyright does not name three of the holders of the files it covers, so it fails the requirement that every file's copyright holders be represented (DEP-5 §5.2, §6.6).
- Fix: Add Jérôme Carretero, Alibek Omarov and Garmin International to the
modules/waf/*Copyright field (or list the affected extras individually); the BSD-3-clause terms already used for the stanza apply to them.
minor packaging 5. ardupilot-sitl(1) and README.Debian document --gui and --list-locations, which sim_vehicle.py 4.7.2 does not implement ◂
- Files:
debian/ardupilot-sitl.1:40,59,debian/README.Debian:51,53,Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py:1446,1450 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence: The man page has
.B \-\-gui"Open the upstream graphical vehicle/frame selector." and.B \-\-list-locations; README.Debian says "can be listed with --list-frame ArduCopter and --list-locations" and "The --gui option opens the upstream vehicle/frame launcher." sim_vehicle.py defines--list-vehicleand--list-frame(lines 1446 and 1450) and has noguistring and nolist-locationsoption at all. - Problem: The launcher passes its arguments to sim_vehicle.py, whose optparse parser rejects
--guiand--list-locationswith "no such option". Both invocations documented in the package's only user documentation therefore fail, and the README's claim about listing locations sends users to a non-existent feature. - Fix: Remove both options from
debian/ardupilot-sitl.1anddebian/README.Debian, documenting--list-vehicle,--list-frameand-L/--locationinstead (or implement the two options in the launcher if that is intended).
Verified ◂
- Read debian/copyright in full (1475 lines, DEP-5 with the correct Format URL): 70 Files stanzas, a stand-alone License paragraph for every short name used, texts included for the non-common licences (BSD-2/3, Expat, Zlib, Brian-Gladman, Sorttable-MIT, public-domain, PPP-*), and every /usr/share/common-licenses pointer names an existing file.
- Read debian/ in full: control, rules, changelog, README.source, README.Debian, TODO, lrc.config, the three man pages, install/links/dirs/manpages, lintian-overrides, gbp.conf, salsa-ci.yml, source/format, upstream/metadata, scripts/ardupilot-sitl, tests/control, tests/sitl, patches/series and all eight patches (also in their applied form).
- Licence inventory by grep over the whole tree (SPDX-License-Identifier, Licensed under, Apache/LGPL/MIT/BSD/Zlib/CC0/public-domain notices, All rights reserved) and by reading LICENSE/COPYING files: COPYING.txt, modules/mavlink/COPYING, modules/waf/LICENSE, modules/waf/utils/launcher/LICENSE, libraries/AP_ADSB/sagetech-sdk/LICENSE, libraries/AP_GyroFFT/CMSIS_5/LICENSE.txt. All licences found are free.
- Licence combinations in the SITL binary are GPLv3-compatible: GPL-3+ with Apache-2.0, BSD-2/3, Expat, Zlib, CC0, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3 and GPL-2+ (no GPL-2-only code is compiled in).
- Checked the stanzas against the files they name for AP_HAL_ChibiOS (common/), AP_HAL/utility, AP_Math, AP_JSON, AP_ONVIF, AP_InertialSensor_BMI270, AP_ADSB/sagetech-sdk, CMSIS_5, AP_Scripting/lua, AP_CheckFirmware/monocypher, modules/mavlink, modules/waf, Tools/AP_Bootloader, Tools/scripts, Tools/ros2, Tools/simulink, Tools/CHDK-Scripts, SITL/MATLAB/tcp_udp_ip, Webots controllers and NarinFC-H7; apart from the four licensing issues above the statements match the notices.

- Holders flagged by the scan: modules/waf/playground/sphinx/src/conf.py:23
copyright = '2019, sphinx'is a sphinx-quickstart placeholder in a configuration file, not a copyright notice; libraries/AP_Math/crc.cpp:387 and crc.h:45 (Swift Navigation) are covered by the Files: * entry '2010 Swift Navigation Inc.' together with the file's own GPL-3+ header. - Files-Excluded consistency: none of *.jar, *.bin, *.hex, *.elf, *.mexa64, .mexw64, modules/ChibiOS, modules/CrashDebug, modules/gsoap, modules/lwip, modules/littlefs, modules/gtest, modules/gbenchmark, modules/Micro-CDR, modules/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Client, modules/DroneCAN/DSDL, modules/DroneCAN/dronecan_dsdlc, modules/DroneCAN/libcanard, modules/DroneCAN/pydronecan, modules/mavlink/pymavlink, modules/waf/docs/slides/presentation/gfx/waflogo.svg, modules/waf/playground/rst/test.svg, modules/waf/playground/xilinx-ise, Tools/Linux_HAL_Essentials/pru/rangefinderpru, Tools/Linux_HAL_Essentials/rcinpru0, Tools/Linux_HAL_Essentials/pwmpru1 or libraries/AP_GyroFFT/CMSIS_5/lib/.a is present. .pc/ was not read.
- Build-Depends justified: libgtest-dev and pkgconf are only used when tests are configured (Tools/ardupilotwaf/gtest.py returns early on --disable-tests, which rules passes under nocheck), so <!nocheck> is right; libgtest-dev ships gtest.pc (seen in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig); python3-pymavlink is used by the build-time smoke test; the three DroneCAN packages are used by the patched Waf configure.
- Binary relations: mavproxy 1.8.74-1, python3-wxgtk4.0 4.2.5, python3-pygame 2.6.1, flightgear 2024.1.5 and python3-pymavlink 2.4.49 exist; python3-opencv is justified by the installed Webots camera examples that import cv2; ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} and ${python3:Depends} are present (required at compat 13); dh_python3 /usr/share/ardupilot is the documented way to scan a private directory.
- Built-Using is generated from libcanard-dev's ${source:Package} (= ${source:Version}) in override_dh_gencontrol, which is what Policy 7.8 requires for the GPL-3+ binary built with libcanard's sources.
- The launcher passes only options sim_vehicle.py defines (--no-rebuild, --no-mavproxy, --vehicle, -I, --use-dir, -A, --list-frame), and the /usr/share/ardupilot/build/sitl/bin/* links created by ardupilot-sitl.links make the --no-rebuild path resolve to the installed /usr/bin binaries; the .links pairs, .install and .manpages are mutually consistent (dh_link's source-then-link order).
- Autopkgtest: tests/control depends on @ and python3-pymavlink; the test uses only loopback UDP and a temporary directory (no needs-internet), and allow-stderr is harmless; the same script is the build-time smoke test.
- Policy bookkeeping: Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches Policy 4.7.4.1 in its first two components; Rules-Requires-Root: no; source format 3.0 (quilt); Homepage and both Vcs fields present; first upload closing the ITP, urgency medium, target unstable; no maintainer scripts are needed or shipped.
- Limits: about 7400 files were covered by grep plus reading of every file named in a sampled set of stanzas, not file-by-file; image, font and other binary payloads were not opened.
- uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream
4.7.2, packaged4.7.2+ds7). - Every pointer of
debian/copyrightto /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (Apache-2.0,CC0-1.0,GPL-1,GPL-2,GPL-3,LGPL-2.1,LGPL-3).
Not confirmed ◂
- dronecan-dsdlc, libcanard-dev and python3-dronecan (versioned Build-Depends, described as accepted in the changelog) are not in the reviewing system's package lists or the NEW queues as of 2026-11-08; if they are not in the archive, apt-get build-dep and the patched Waf configure would fail. A build would show it.
- modules/waf/docs/sphinx/_images/waf-64x64.png is used as the Sphinx html_logo and is likely the Waf logo whose two SVG copies +ds7 removed as CC BY-NC, but the tree states no licence for it and image files were not opened; if it is the same artwork, non-free content remains in the source.
- The OpenDog meshes under libraries/SITL/examples/JSON/pybullet/models/opendog/ (from pyrobolearn) and the Webots/BlueBoat/Iris models under libraries/SITL/examples/Webots_Python/ (.dae/.proto/.stl) carry no notice and are recorded only under Files: * GPL-3.0+; their upstream licences (pyrobolearn, Cyberbotics) could not be checked offline.
- The SkySakuraH743 Wiring diagram.pdf, the six hwdef XLSX pinouts and the other vendor-credited board images state no licence and have no editable source in the tree; whether the vendors permitted redistribution cannot be established from the package.
- libraries/AP_Math/crc.cpp's Swift Navigation block refers to a LICENSE file that is not in the source, so the Files: * GPL-3.0+ entry for it could not be checked against the original libswiftnav terms.
- libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/SkySakuraH743/README.md references SkySakuraH743.png while the directory contains SkySakuraH743_top.png and SkySakuraH743-bottom.png; this looks like a stale image link, but its effect was not exercised.
