DFSG NEW review for hyprgraphics version 0.6.0-3

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: 1 found

Licensing

debian/copyright is DEP-5 with the correct Format URL. Two stanzas: Files: * (2024-2025 Hypr Development, BSD-3-clause) and Files: debian/* (2025 Carl Keinath, BSD-3-clause), the latter overriding the former for packaging, plus one stand-alone BSD-3-clause paragraph whose text reproduces LICENSE word for word. No file in the tree carries a different holder or licence, no third-party licence files exist in subdirectories, and the BSD-3 licence is permissive and DFSG-free. The test images and the symlink fixture are upstream data covered by the catch-all stanza.

Packaging

Clean compat-14 dh packaging: rules uses dh with hardening, both install files are correct, the -dev package depends on every module that the installed pkg-config file's Requires/Requires.private names and on the headers its public headers include, the SONAME bump to 5 is carried through to a matching binary package, an autopkgtest builds and runs upstream's tests against the installed library, and the single quilt patch carries DEP-3 headers. Build-Depends match the CMakeLists' requirements and every name exists in the archive with a satisfying version.

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • debian/copyright read in full: line 1 is Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/; the Files: * and Files: debian/* stanzas and the stand-alone License: BSD-3-clause paragraph use only fields copyright-format 1.0 defines.
  • The BSD-3-clause text in debian/copyright matches LICENSE exactly (three clauses and disclaimer), and LICENSE's only holder, Copyright (c) 2024, Hypr Development, is named in the Files: * stanza (its 2024-2025 range is a year detail, not a different holder). BSD-3-clause is not in /usr/share/common-licenses, so the full text is required and is present.
  • Grepped the whole tree with gitignore disabled for Copyright/(C)/©/SPDX-License-Identifier/Licensed under/Permission is hereby granted/GNU General Public/GNU Lesser/Apache License/Mozilla Public/public domain/All rights reserved: the only hits are in LICENSE and debian/copyright. No source, header, test, nix or CI file carries a copyright or licence notice, and no other LICENSE/COPYING/NOTICE file exists in any subdirectory.
  • All upstream paths are matched by Files: * (DEP-5 * matches / and leading dots, so it reaches every subdirectory); debian/* is overridden by its own stanza. No Files-Excluded is declared and nothing in the tree is absent from the orig tarball.
  • tests/resource/images/hyprland.jxl (the pre-scan's unrecognised binary, 78.4 KB): a JPEG XL test fixture shipped in hyprgraphics_0.6.0.orig.tar.gz next to hyprland.png/jpg/webp/avif/svg and loaded by tests/image.cpp's directory scan. It is data, not a built or generated artifact; its source form is the image itself, and it is covered by the Files: * BSD-3-clause stanza.
  • tests/resource/images/hyprland.symlink is a symlink to hyprland.png (the tarball listing reports the target's size, 345.7 KB) kept to exercise symlinked image paths; same licence as the rest of the fixtures.
  • No built files are shipped: the tree contains no object files, libraries, bytecode, minified code, archives or PDFs; hyprgraphics.pc is generated at build time from hyprgraphics.pc.in, and flake.lock is upstream's own generated lockfile next to flake.nix. The pre-scan's author check reported every holder it found as named.
  • Read all of debian/: control, rules, changelog, copyright, gbp.conf, libhyprgraphics-dev.install, libhyprgraphics5.install, source/format, patches/series, the one patch, tests/control, tests/CMakeLists.txt, tests/upstream-tests, upstream/metadata, salsa-ci.yml.
  • Build-Depends cover CMakeLists' pkg_check_modules (libdrm, pixman-1, cairo, pangocairo, hyprutils, libjpeg, libwebp, libmagic, libpng, librsvg-2.0), find_package(OpenGL GLES3), and the optional libjxl/libheif. Checked in the archive: libjxl-dev 0.11.2-5.1, libdav1d-dev 1.5.4-1, libjpeg-dev 1.3.1.3-4, libhyprutils-dev 0.14.3-1 (satisfies >= 0.2.2).
  • libhyprgraphics-dev's Depends covers the installed hyprgraphics.pc: Requires: cairo hyprutils pangocairo glesv2 maps to libcairo2-dev, libhyprutils-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libgles-dev, and every Requires.private module (libdrm, pixman-1, libpng, libjpeg, libwebp, librsvg-2.0, libmagic, libjxl*, libheif) has its -dev package listed; the public headers include <cairo/cairo.h>, <hyprutils/...> and <GLES3/gl32.h>, which those packages provide.
  • At compat 14 dh_gencontrol adds relationship substvars itself, so libhyprgraphics5 having no Depends field is not a fault. SOVERSION 5 in CMakeLists matches the libhyprgraphics5 package, and the install files split lib*.so to -dev and lib*.so.* to the library package.
  • debian/patches/allow-jpeg-loading-on-big-endian.patch has From, Date, Subject, Bug and Origin (DEP-3) and removes the big-endian refusal in src/image/formats/Jpeg.cpp, which is the file the applied tree shows.
  • The autopkgtest upstream-tests works in $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP (does not write to the source tree), builds the upstream tests from debian/tests/CMakeLists.txt against the installed library, and declares Depends: @, @builddeps@ (which includes build-essential) plus Restrictions: allow-stderr.
  • Standards-Version 4.7.4 has the same first two components as the reviewing system's Policy 4.7.4.1, so it is current enough to be no issue.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.6.0, packaged 0.6.0).
Not confirmed ◂
  • The five test image formats under tests/resource/images/ and the simlink fixture were not opened (binary data); their provenance is judged from the project's LICENSE and from their inclusion in the upstream orig tarball, and no third-party notice accompanies them.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
