DFSG NEW review for ruby-rubydex version 0.4.4-1

Summary

  • Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: Yes
  • Packaging is of good quality: Yes
  • Issues: 0 blocker, 0 important, 1 minor
  • debian/watch: version 5
  • debian/copyright: machine-readable
  • Scan before the review: nothing found

Licensing

The tree is Shopify's MIT/Expat code (LICENSE.txt says 'Copyright (c) 2025-present, Shopify Inc.'; no source file carries another notice), and debian/copyright is correct DEP-5: Files: * Shopify 2025-2026 Expat, debian/* Simon Quigley Expat, with the full Expat text. The 23 holders the prescan lists are not holders of shipped code: they occur only in the generated third-party licence listing THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.html and in the MinGW-w64 licence-notice template rust/about_templates/mingw_licenses.hbs. No third-party source is vendored in the tarball (only rust/Cargo.lock names the crates), so no further Files stanza or licence text is required.

Packaging

The packaging is careful and modern: debhelper compat 14, gem2deb with --gem-install, dh-cargo Built-Using/Static-Built-Using generated from the cargo target dir, DEP-3 patches, manpage for rdx, autopkgtest-pkg-ruby, Vcs fields and a current Standards-Version. One real gap: two crate Build-Depends (librust-cypher-parser-0.8+default-dev and librust-ruby-rbs-0.3+default-dev) are provided by no package in the archive or in the NEW snapshot, while the repository builds only from /usr/share/cargo/registry.

Issues

minor packaging 1. Build-Depends on librust-cypher-parser-0.8+default-dev and librust-ruby-rbs-0.3+default-dev, which no Debian package provides ◂
  • Files: debian/control:21, debian/control:26, rust/rubydex/Cargo.toml:26, rust/rubydex/Cargo.toml:27
  • Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
  • Evidence: debian/control: librust-cypher-parser-0.8+default-dev, and librust-ruby-rbs-0.3+default-dev,; rust/rubydex/Cargo.toml: cypher-parser = "0.8.1" and ruby-rbs = "0.3"; apt-cache show for both names: There is no binary package named ... and nothing provides it. Nor is it a binary of this package or of any upload waiting in the NEW queues.
  • Problem: debian/rules replaces crates-io with directory = "/usr/share/cargo/registry" and the build deletes rust/Cargo.lock, so cargo can only use crates installed by Build-Depends. Since no package provides these two crates (unlike librust-ruby-prism-2+default-dev, which the rust-ruby-prism source in NEW provides), the Build-Depends cannot be satisfied as the package stands.
  • Fix: Get rust-cypher-parser 0.8.1 and rust-ruby-rbs 0.3.0 packaged and into NEW/acceptance, or change the dependency/build approach, before upload.
Verified ◂
  • Inventory: read the whole upstream tree (169 files per the prescan) and all of debian/ except debian/watch; no binary, font, image, minified or archive files are present.
  • debian/copyright is DEP-5 with the exact 1.0 Format URL; Files: * (Shopify 2025-2026, Expat) and debian/* (Simon Quigley, Expat) match LICENSE.txt and the absence of any other copyright headers; the Expat text is complete.
  • THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.html: generated by cargo-about from rust/Cargo.lock, rust/about.toml and rust/about_templates/about.hbs (all shipped); it lists the licences of the Rust crate dependencies (Apache-2.0, Unicode-3.0, MIT, BSD-2/3-clause, BSL-1.0, ISC) and the MinGW runtime. The holders the prescan names in it are those crates' authors, not authors of files in this source package.
  • rust/about_templates/mingw_licenses.hbs: licence-notice template for the MinGW-w64 runtime and GCC used only for Windows precompiled builds; the GPL-3/LGPL-2.1 text and the FSF, Lucent, Sun, NetBSD, David Gay, Rich Felker, etc. notices in it are quoted licence texts, not code compiled or shipped here.
  • lib/rubydex/rules/*.rb are generated by rust/rubydex/src/bin/generate_ruby_rules.rs, which is present.
  • No DFSG problem found: no non-commercial, no-modification, field-of-use or other non-free terms; only permissive licences appear in the tree and in the generated third-party listing.
  • Build-Depends checked with apt-cache: dh-cargo 34 (>= 32~), gem2deb 2.2.10 (>= 2.2.8~), libclang-dev, librust-bindgen-0.72, librust-cbindgen-0.29, bitflags, bytecount, cc, clap+derive, crossbeam-*, glob, libc, line-index, serde+derive, toml-1, url-2, xxhash-rust+xxh3 all exist; librust-ruby-prism-2+default-dev is built by rust-ruby-prism 2.1.0-1 and ruby-rbs 4.2.0-1 is in NEW.
  • Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches the reviewing system's Policy 4.7.4.1 in its first two components.
  • Built-Using/Static-Built-Using are valid binary fields (deb-control(5) documents Static-Built-Using), and dh-cargo-built-using writes both from the deps/*.d files under debian/cargo-target, consistent with debian/rules and debian/dh_ruby.rake.
  • Patches: all four have DEP-3 headers (Description/Author/Origin/Forwarded/Last-Update) and are listed in series; the dev-dependency removal is safe because the removed crates (tempfile, tikv-jemalloc*) are used only under cfg(test), cfg(feature = "test_utils") or in benches, and jemalloc is feature-gated.
  • debian/ruby-tests.rb, Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-ruby, the rdx.1 manpage and debian/ruby-rubydex.manpages are consistent; changelog version 0.4.4-1 matches upstream.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.4.4, packaged 0.4.4).
Not confirmed ◂
  • The apt-cache NEW list is a snapshot of 2026-11-09T00:06:05Z; if rust-cypher-parser and rust-ruby-rbs were uploaded after that, the two missing Build-Depends would become satisfiable and the issue above would disappear.
  • Whether debian/dh_ruby.rake is picked up in the exact install-stage order assumed by gem2deb could not be checked because gem2deb is not installed on the reviewing system; if it is not, ${cargo:Built-Using} would stay unset.
  • Could not run a build, so the cargo/dh-cargo output paths (debian/cargo-target/release/librubydex_sys.so) and the ruby extension directory find pattern in execute_after_dh_auto_install were only reasoned about.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
