golang-github-ncruces-wbt 1.0.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionImmutable weight-balanced trees in Go (library)

Persistent (immutable) weight-balanced trees for Go, including join-based algorithms and order statistics. Useful when persistence matters; otherwise a conventional B-tree may perform better. Dependency of related ncruces Go packages (e.g. go-sqlite3).

DFSG NEW review for golang-github-ncruces-wbt 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 and accurate: the whole upstream tree is MIT/Expat, copyright 2023 Nuno Cruces, exactly as the shipped LICENSE says, with the full licence text given; debian/* has its own stanza for the packager. The tree contains no third-party or vendored code (go.mod declares no dependencies; all imports are standard library), no generated or built files, and no other copyright or licence notices, so no further stanzas or Files-Excluded are needed.

Packaging

Standard pkg-go packaging: debhelper compat 13 with dh-sequence-golang and --buildsystem=golang, dpkg-build-api (= 1) with the correspondingly dropped Rules-Requires-Root and source Priority, Standards-Version 4.7.4 (current Policy is 4.7.4.1), all four build dependencies exist in the archive, autopkgtest-pkg-go, upstream/metadata and salsa-ci.yml present, gbp.conf using DEP14 correctly. No patches to review, no maintainer scripts, changelog well formed. Only cosmetic defects (stray trailing commas in the relationship fields) were found, which dpkg's parser ignores.

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • The scan's holder check reported no missing holder and listed no per-file items to account for; I still read or grepped all 21 upstream files (16 *.go, .gitignore, LICENSE, README.md, go.mod, .github/workflows/go.yml) and all of debian/.
  • The only copyright/licence notices in the tree are LICENSE (MIT License, Copyright (c) 2023 Nuno Cruces) and debian/copyright; a grep for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX-License-Identifier, 'Licensed under', 'Permission is hereby granted', GNU/Apache/MPL and 'All rights reserved' over the whole tree found nothing else.
  • debian/copyright uses the Expat short name with the full MIT text, matching LICENSE; Files: * covers the upstream files and Files: debian/* (later, so overriding) names Hermes Rodríguez hrodrig@usb.ve, 2026, as in debian/changelog.
  • No vendored or embedded third-party code: go.mod has no require block and the imports are only cmp, iter, slices, maps, strings, math/rand and testing, all standard library, so the build-time go test needs no dependency beyond golang-any.
  • No build artefacts, minified code, PDFs, archives or generated Go sources in the tree; the only non-source files are documentation/CI text.
  • No debian/patches and no patch series, so nothing to review there; source format is 3.0 (quilt).
  • Policy on the reviewing system is 4.7.4.1 (policy tool), so Standards-Version 4.7.4 is current (first two components 4.7).
  • dpkg-build-api(7) confirms level 1 (dpkg >= 1.22.0) makes Rules-Requires-Root default to no and that debian/rules must support the six required targets, which the %: dh $@ pattern provides; deb-src-control(5) confirms an omitted source Priority defaults to optional, so dropping both fields is deliberate and correct.
  • All build dependencies resolve: dh-sequence-golang is provided by dh-golang 1.67, dpkg-build-api (= 1) by dpkg-dev 1.23.11, golang-any exists (golang-defaults 2:1.27~1), all from apt-cache.
  • debian/gbp.conf dist = DEP14 with debian-branch = debian/sid and ignore-branch = True matches the pkg-go git layout; debian/salsa-ci.yml and its gitlab-ci.yml compatibility include are the team's standard CI.
  • debian/changelog is well formed and its date, Fri, 13 Nov 2026, is the correct weekday for that date.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 1.0.0, packaged 1.0.0).
Not confirmed ◂
  • debian/control's Build-Depends and Depends both end with a stray trailing comma. Dpkg::Deps::parse splits the field on commas and Perl's split drops the trailing empty element, so the build relations parse as no extra dependency; whether the built binary's Depends field ends up empty when ${misc:Depends} substitutes to nothing could only be seen by building.
  • dh-golang is not installed on the reviewing system, so its own behaviour (installing all Go sources for a library-only source package, and its handling of --builddirectory=debian/_build) could not be read; the packaging otherwise follows the dh-make-golang template and presumably built for the upload.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
