DFSG NEW review for pipewire version 1.6.11-2

Summary

Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: No
Packaging is of good quality: Yes
Issues: 3 blocker, 1 important, 2 minor
debian/watch: version 5
debian/copyright: machine-readable
Scan before the review: 3 found

Licensing

All licence terms in the tree are free and mutually compatible (Expat/MIT for the bulk, LGPL-2.1+ for the JACK headers and the PulseAudio-derived ALSA code and profiles, GPL-2 for pipewire-jack/jack/control.h, BSD-2-clause for the Chromium biquad/crossover code, BZIP2 for the valgrind headers, FFTPACK for pffft, an Ooura permission notice for dbesi0.c, and public domain for the G.722 codec), and every licence not in /usr/share/common-licenses has its full text in debian/copyright. The copyright file is nevertheless inaccurate: five holders whose notices are in the tree are missing from it, including two named individuals and the holder of a newly added test file. The 1.6.11-2 changelog entry is only "Update debian/copyright", so this update is what still needs completing.

Packaging

The packaging is of good quality: debhelper compat 13 with a minimal rules file, hardening=+all, one DEP-3 patch that is applied and referenced from the changelog, per-architecture meson options that match the Build-Depends restrictions, a maintained symbols file plus shlibs.local for the JACK libraries, sysusers and systemd units split between the metapackage and pipewire-system-services, three autopkgtests, and correct Breaks/Replaces for the module split made in 1.6.11-1. The only fault found is one dh-exec architecture filter in an install file that does not follow the architectures on which rules disables ONNX Runtime.

Issues

blocker licensing 1. The ladspa.h stanza omits holder Stefan Westerfeld, who is named in the file ◂

Files: debian/copyright:136-138, spa/plugins/filter-graph/ladspa.h:4-5
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: File: Copyright (C) 2000-2002 Richard W.E. Furse, Paul Barton-Davis, Stefan Westerfeld.; debian/copyright stanza: Files: spa/plugins/filter-graph/ladspa.h / Copyright: 2000-2002 Richard W.E. Furse, Paul Barton-Davis.
Problem: A copyright holder named in the file's own notice is not named anywhere in debian/copyright, so the file's copyright statement is incomplete (copyright-format 1.0 section 6.5, Copyright field).
Fix: Add Stefan Westerfeld to the Copyright field of that stanza (and to the matching entry in the header Files: * paragraph if that is where it belongs).

blocker licensing 2. Files: spa/plugins/alsa/mixer/profile-sets/* does not name Antonio Ospite, holder of kinect-audio.conf ◂

Files: debian/copyright:60-77, spa/plugins/alsa/mixer/profile-sets/kinect-audio.conf:18
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: File: ; Copyright (C) 2011 Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>; the stanza's Copyright field lists Tom Tromey, Red Hat, Lennart Poettering, Pierre Ossman, Cendio AB, Intel, Collabora Multimedia, Arun Raghavan, Wolfson Microelectronics, Feng Wei, Wim Taymans, but no Antonio Ospite.
Problem: The file is matched by this stanza and its holder is therefore unrepresented in the copyright file; the catch-all Files: * paragraph does not name him either.
Fix: Add 2011 Antonio Ospite to the Copyright field of the profile-sets stanza.

blocker licensing 3. Files: * does not name Claude Code, the holder recorded in spa/plugins/control/test-mixer-ump-sort.c ◂

Files: spa/plugins/control/test-mixer-ump-sort.c:2, debian/copyright:6-36
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: /* SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright © 2025 Claude Code */ / /* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */; the Files: * Copyright field names 29 holders and organisations, none of them this one.
Problem: This is a built installed test (spa/plugins/control/meson.build adds it to test_apps and installs it when installed_tests is enabled, which Debian enables for pipewire-tests), so it is a shipped file whose stated copyright holder is absent from debian/copyright. The notice also raises a provenance question: the holder is an AI coding tool, not a person or legal entity, and the file (which includes mixer.c and tests static functions with mock buffers) should be traceable to a licensing statement from upstream.
Fix: Name the holder in the Files: * Copyright field (or a dedicated stanza for this file), and ask upstream for the provenance of the file and confirmation that it may be distributed under MIT.

important licensing 4. Files: * does not name the translation copyright holders recorded in po/*.po ◂

Files: po/bg.po:2, po/fi.po:2, po/pt_BR.po:2, po/ca.po:2, po/hu.po:2, po/it.po:2, po/sv.po:2, po/uk.po:1, debian/copyright:6-36
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: # Copyright (C) 2023 Alexander Shopov <ash@kambanaria.org> (bg), # Copyright (C) 2008 Timo Jyrinki (fi), # Copyright (C) 2022 Rafael Fontenelle <rafaelff@gnome.org> (pt_BR), # Copyright (C) 2008, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2019 The Free Software Foundation, Inc (it; also ca, hu, sv, uk).
Problem: Each .po file carries a copyright notice for its translator, but neither Files: * nor any other stanza in debian/copyright names Alexander Shopov, Timo Jyrinki, Rafael Fontenelle or the Free Software Foundation, so the translators' notices are not represented. (Many other po headers are unfilled gettext templates - # Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER, # Copyright (C) 2008 pipewire and similar - and contain no identifiable holder.)
Fix: Add the named translators and the FSF, either to the inherited Files: * Copyright field or in a Files: po/* stanza with the same Expat terms the files state ("licensed under the same terms as pipewire").

minor licensing 5. Files: * does not name the PipeWire authors holder used by two headers ◂

Files: spa/include-private/spa-private/dbus-helpers.h:2, spa/include/spa/param/video/color-types.h:2
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Problem: The copyright file names only identifiable individuals and companies; this collective holder, which stands in for the project's authors, appears nowhere, so the two files' notices are not represented.
Fix: Add PipeWire authors to the Files: * Copyright field, or replace it with the individual authors upstream can identify.

minor packaging 6. libspa-0.2-modules-extra.install installs the ONNX plugin on architectures where rules disables onnxruntime ◂

Files: debian/libspa-0.2-modules-extra.install:3, debian/rules:39-41, debian/control:42
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: Install line: usr/lib/*/spa-0.2/filter-graph/libspa-filter-graph-plugin-onnx.so [!i386]; rules: ifneq (,$(filter alpha hurd-amd64 hurd-i386 i386 m68k powerpc ppc64 sh4 x32,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH))) / ONNXRUNTIME=disabled; Build-Depends: libonnxruntime-dev [!alpha !hurd-any !i386 !m68k !powerpc !ppc64 !sh4 !x32]; spa/plugins/filter-graph/meson.build builds the plugin only if onnxruntime_dep.found().
Problem: On alpha, hurd-*, m68k, powerpc, ppc64, sh4 and x32 rules passes -Donnxruntime=disabled, so libspa-filter-graph-plugin-onnx.so is never built there, yet the dh-exec filter only excludes i386. dh_install aborts on a pattern that matches nothing ("missing files, aborting"), so the package would fail to build on those architectures.
Fix: Extend the dh-exec architecture filter to match rules and Build-Depends, e.g. libspa-filter-graph-plugin-onnx.so [!alpha !hurd-any !i386 !m68k !powerpc !ppc64 !sh4 !x32].

Verified ◂

Read every file of debian/ in full (control, rules, changelog top entries, all .install/.links/.docs/.manpages/.sysusers/.maintscript/.lintian-overrides/.shlibs.local, patches/series and the patch, tests/control and test scripts, source/format, gbp.conf, upstream/metadata, salsa-ci.yml, doc-base, README.Debian, lrc.config); libpipewire-0.3-0t64.symbols was sampled (start and end) rather than read line by line.
Licence evidence collected across the tree with greps for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX-License-Identifier, Licensed under, Permission is hereby granted, GNU General/Lesser, All rights reserved, public domain; 907 files carry SPDX MIT tags and no SPDX tag other than MIT exists. No non-commercial, no-derivative or field-of-use wording occurs anywhere in the tree.
The licence texts in debian/copyright match the notices in the tree: the BZIP2 paragraph is identical to include/valgrind/valgrind.h and memcheck.h, the FFTPACK paragraph to spa/plugins/filter-graph/pffft.c/h, the public-domain paragraph quotes spa/plugins/bluez5/g722/g722_enc_dec.h, and Expat, LGPL-2.1+, GPL-2, BSD-2-clause and Ooura are all reproduced or point at /usr/share/common-licenses.
spa/plugins/vulkan/shaders/filter.spv and main.spv are compiled SPIR-V, loaded at runtime by vulkan-compute-filter.c:757 and vulkan-compute-source.c:1027 and generated from shaders/filter.comp and shaders/main.comp, which are shipped in the same directory; the Vulkan plugin is not built by this packaging (-Dvulkan=disabled), so no preferred form is missing.
test/data/test-spa-json.txt is not a built file but a JSON parser test corpus: it begins Parts from https://github.com/nst/JSONTestSuite / MIT License, its invalid UTF-8 byte sequences are deliberate test inputs, and the holder (2016 Nicolas Seriot) is in the Files: * paragraph.
Jack O'Quin (prescan): debian/copyright spells the name Jack OQuin in the pipewire-jack/jack/* stanza - a typographical loss of the apostrophe, holder present; not reported.
Nedko Arnaudov, holder of pipewire-jack/src/pipewire-jack.c (MIT, 2024), is named in the control.h GPL-2 stanza of debian/copyright, so the holder is represented.
Axis Communications (also as Axis Communications AB), Collabora Ltd., Konsulko Group and Canonical Ltd. among the prescan's "possibly similar" names are all present in the Files: * paragraph; the "Rosetta Contributors and Canonical Ltd 2010" notice in po/hr.po is Launchpad boilerplate around the listed Canonical Ltd.
pipewire and pipewire's authors in po/*.po headers are unfilled gettext placeholders (# Copyright (C) 2008 pipewire, # Copyright (C) 2023 pipewire's authors) rather than identifiable holders; the "PipeWire authors" SPDX headers elsewhere are reported separately.
${env:UDEVRULESDIR} in debian/pipewire-bin.install does not need a dh-exec shebang: from compat 13 debhelper itself expands ${env:VAR} in debconf-style config files (Dh_Lib.pm, _variable_substitution), and rules exports the variable; libspa-0.2-modules-extra.install does use dh-exec, for its architecture filter.
The dh_installsystemd override that runs only for pipewire-system-services is intentional: the user units of pipewire and pipewire-pulse are installed by their *.install files and need no enable/start snippet.
Standards-Version 4.7.4 against the reviewing system's Policy 4.7.4.1 (first two components equal, so current), 3.0 (quilt) source format, version 1.6.11-2 consistent between changelog and .dsc, distribution unstable, Vcs-Git/Vcs-Browser/Homepage present.
The .dsc Testsuite and Testsuite-Triggers fields absent from debian/control are generated by dpkg-source from debian/tests/control, so this is not a fault; the three autopkgtests declare their dependencies and the dev-package test builds a trivial client against pkgconf's flags.
The Build-Depends restrictions match the meson switches in rules for libcamera (m68k, hurd), ldac (s390x, hppa, m68k, powerpc, ppc64, sparc64), onnxruntime and SDL2 (<!noinsttest>), and the versions required exist in the archive (libcamera-dev 0.7.2, libroc-dev 0.4.0, libonnxruntime-dev, wireplumber-system-services).
uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 1.6.11, packaged 1.6.11).
Every pointer of debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (GPL-2, LGPL-2.1).

Not confirmed ◂

On Hurd the package would stop at dh_install well before the ONNX line: spa/plugins/meson.build builds the alsa plugin only if alsa_dep.found() and host_machine.system() == 'linux' and bluez5/v4l2 only on Linux, while libspa-0.2-modules.install lists usr/lib/*/spa-0.2/alsa, v4l2 and bluez5 and libspa-0.2-bluetooth.install lists usr/share/spa-0.2/bluez5; also, rules assigns UDEVRULESDIR in its Hurd branch without export, which debhelper's ${env:UDEVRULESDIR} expansion needs. Whether pipewire is intended to build on Hurd at all is not clear from the package.
About 60 long-standing symbols in debian/libpipewire-0.3-0t64.symbols carry the minimum version 1.3.81 (pw_loop_add_io, pw_loop_add_timer, pw_registry_bind, pw_core_sync, pw_properties_get_int32, ...) next to neighbouring entries at 0.3.1, and 1.1.81/1.1.83/1.5.81 for others. If these are not the result of a deliberate ABI/visibility change in 1.3.81, reverse dependencies get an unnecessarily strict but satisfiable dependency; a check against an older libpipewire would show it.
