DFSG NEW review for rust-email-encoding version 0.4.2-1

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 format and accurate. The upstream crate is dual-licensed MIT OR Apache-2.0 per Cargo.toml; LICENSE-MIT names Paolo Barbolini for 2021-2024, matching the Files: * stanza, and LICENSE-APACHE is the unmodified Apache 2.0 text, referenced through /usr/share/common-licenses. A full scan of src/, Cargo.toml, README.md and .github found no further copyright holders or licence notices, and the prescan's author check found no holder missing from the file. The Debian-authored files are covered by a separate debian/* stanza. Both licences are DFSG-free and compatible.

Packaging

Standard debcargo-generated Rust library packaging: debhelper compat 13 with dh-sequence-cargo, Standards-Version 4.7.4, a single Multi-Arch: same -dev binary, and correct debcargo Provides/Breaks fields. The one patch relaxes the base64 version requirement from 0.23 to >=0.22, carries DEP-3 headers and Forwarded: not-needed, and Debian's base64 0.22.1 provides the Engine/encode_slice API the source uses. All build and autopkgtest dependencies resolve in the archive, and the dev-dependency on pretty-assertions is correctly only in debian/tests/control, not Build-Depends.

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • debian/copyright read in full; every upstream file is matched by Files: * (Expat or Apache-2.0, Paolo Barbolini 2021-2024), LICENSE-MIT confirms those years and holder, LICENSE-APACHE is stock Apache 2.0.
  • Prescan reported no copyright holder missing from debian/copyright; it listed no files to account for beyond that author check.
  • All src/ files (13 files under src/body and src/headers, lib.rs) grepped for Copyright/(C)/©/SPDX/"Licensed under"/GNU/Apache/MPL/public domain/All rights reserved: no per-file notices, no embedded third-party code or attribution comments.
  • The only use of base64 is base64::Engine and engine::general_purpose::STANDARD.encode_slice, present in base64 0.22.1, so relax-dependencies.patch is safe; it patches only Cargo.toml and carries Author/Forwarded/Last-Update DEP-3 fields.
  • Build-Depends-Arch dependencies verified via apt-cache: librust-base64-dev 0.22.1-3 (provides +std), librust-memchr-dev 2.8.3-1 (provides 2+std and 2-dev), and librust-pretty-assertions-dev 1.4.1-1 for debian/tests/control.
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml is upstream CI configuration, covered by Files: *; no licence-bearing content.
  • debian/control, rules, changelog, source/format (3.0 quilt), tests/control, upstream/metadata, debcargo.toml and patches/series read; no maintainer scripts or other debian/ files present.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.4.2, packaged 0.4.2).
  • Every pointer of debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (Apache-2.0).
Not confirmed ◂

None.
