golang-github-ncruces-sort 1.0.0-1

Package Information

Description	Sorting algorithms implemented in Go (library) Educational Go implementations of classic sorting algorithms (Quicksort, Heapsort, Shellsort), focusing on clarity and simplicity rather than peak performance.

DFSG Assistant LLM REVIEW 0 blocker, 0 important, 0 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.

DFSG NEW review for golang-github-ncruces-sort version 1.0.0-1

Summary

Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: Yes
Packaging is of good quality: Yes
Issues: 0 blocker, 0 important, 0 minor
debian/watch: version 5
debian/copyright: machine-readable
Scan before the review: nothing found

Licensing

debian/copyright is DEP-5 with the canonical Format URL and two stanzas that cover the tree correctly (later debian/* overrides Files: *). Upstream is MIT-0 (the MIT No Attribution text shipped in LICENSE, only holder 2024 Nuno Cruces, no attribution clause), which is DFSG-free; the four PNG diagrams under anims/ are covered by the same stanza and the only third-party mention in the tree is a credit to the visualization tool that rendered them. Because neither MIT-0 nor Expat is in /usr/share/common-licenses, both full licence texts are embedded. No other copyright holder or licence appears anywhere in the source.

Packaging

Minimal, correct packaging: Build-Depends of debhelper-compat (= 13), dpkg-build-api (= 1), dh-sequence-golang and golang-any; a single Architecture: all -dev package built by the golang debhelper build system into /usr/share/gocode, Multi-Arch: foreign as in the Go team's other library packages. Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches the reviewing system's Policy 4.7.4.1, and omitting both Priority (Policy 4.7.3) and Rules-Requires-Root (dpkg-build-api level 1) is correct. Changelog is a sane 1.0.0-1 initial release to unstable with a valid timestamp and an ITP closure; Vcs-*, Homepage, XS-Go-Import-Path, debian/upstream/metadata and salsa CI are all present, and there are no patches, maintainer scripts or debian/tests to get wrong (Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-go is the Go team's standard mechanism).

Issues

None.

Verified ◂

Read every file under debian/ (control, rules, changelog, copyright, gbp.conf, watch, salsa-ci.yml, gitlab-ci.yml, source/format, upstream/metadata); .pc/ was not read.
Read LICENSE in full, README.md, go.mod, .gitignore, .github/workflows/go.yml, and the package/import lines and function comments of heap/heap.go, quick/quick.go and shell/shell.go; grepped the whole tree with gitignore: false for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX-License-Identifier, Licensed under, GNU ... Public, Apache/Mozilla, public domain, All rights reserved, non-commercial and CC-BY wording.
The only copyright/licence statements in the tree are LICENSE (MIT No Attribution License, Copyright (c) 2024 Nuno Cruces) and debian/copyright; the Go sources carry no headers and are named by the Files: * stanza.
debian/copyright's MIT-0 paragraph reproduces the LICENSE text apart from its title line, and its Expat paragraph is the full MIT text; grep over /usr/share/common-licenses shows neither MIT-0 nor Expat there, so embedding both was required and done.
Files: * plus the later Files: debian/* stanza cover every path: upstream files (go.mod, README.md, .gitignore, .github/workflows/go.yml, six .go files, four PNGs) and all debian/ files; the debian/* copyright holder (2026 Hermes Rodriguez) matches debian/control and debian/changelog.
anims/heap.png, anims/ninthers.png, anims/quick.png and anims/shell.png are the four PNG algorithm diagrams referenced by README.md, whose Credits section names github.com/invzhi/sorting-visualization as the tool used for the visualizations; they are binary and were not opened. golang.pm shows dh_golang installs only .go/.c/.cc/.cpp/.h/.hh/.hpp/.proto/.s files, testdata and go.mod/go.sum, so none of the four reaches the -dev package.
.github/workflows/go.yml only references GitHub actions (actions/checkout, actions/setup-go, ncruces/go-coverage-report); it vendors no third-party code, and the file is MIT-0 under Files: *.
The Go code imports only the standard library (cmp, slices, math/rand, testing); nothing is vendored and no external Go module is required.
Policy on the reviewing system is 4.7.4.1 (/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.txt.gz); Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches its first two components, so it is current.
Policy 4.7.3 (upgrading-checklist) says Priority need not be stated, and /usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol fills Priority: optional with field_get_default_value; dpkg-build-api(7) level 1 defaults Rules-Requires-Root to no, so both omitted fields are correct.
The trailing comma in Depends: ${misc:Depends}, is harmless: Dpkg::Deps drops the empty trailing list item and dpkg-gencontrol deletes a relationship field left empty (/usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol:355-358).
golang.pm's clean ends in rmdir_builddir, so --builddirectory=debian/_build leaves nothing behind for dpkg-source after debian/rules clean.
debian/changelog: 1.0.0-1, distribution unstable, Closes: #1146820, and the timestamp Fri, 13 Nov 2026 is a real Friday and not in the future.
The orig tarball (ncruces-sort-cc1c116/) contains exactly the tree reviewed, and the debian tarball contains only debian/; there are no debian/patches.
uscan found upstream releases with debian/watch; a newer upstream version is available (upstream 1.0.3, packaged 1.0.0), which is not a fault of the package.

Not confirmed ◂

anims/*.png were not opened (binary), so only their location, README.md's credit and dh_golang's install rules were used to judge them.
The reference tools xd://policy, xd://man, xd://debhelper and xd://apt-cache returned only their own documentation pages for valid arguments, so Policy, debhelper and dpkg behaviour were checked in the files below /usr instead; no apt-cache lookup of golang-any or dpkg-build-api was possible (this system has no dpkg database or package lists).

Proposed changes ◂

None.
