DFSG NEW review for rust-humanize-duration version 0.0.7-1

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

The whole crate is MIT, matched by a machine-readable (DEP-5 1.0) debian/copyright with Files: * (MIT), Files: debian/* (MIT) and a full stand-alone MIT text. LICENSE (© 2024 Alessandro Crugnola) vs. Files: * (© 2025) is minor year drift, not noteworthy. The prescan author check found every holder already named in debian/copyright. No non-free terms, no binaries/minified/generated-preference-form files, no unclear-provenance assets and no embedded third-party code.

Packaging

Standard debcargo 2.8.4 output with a light overlay (uploaders, collapse_features), consistent with the Rust team's conventions: debhelper-compat (= 13) with dh $@ --buildsystem cargo, an override_dh_auto_test (-- test --all) that compat 13 correctly skips under nocheck in line with the <!nocheck> Build-Depends-Arch, Sensing no flaws.

Issues

None.

Verified

• Read every file in the tree (excluding .pc/ and debian/cargo-checksum.json): src/ {lib,impls,macros,prelude,types}.rs, LICENSE, README.md, Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml.orig, Cargo.lock, justfile, .gitignore, .cargo_vcs_info.json, .github/workflows/rust.yml, and all of debian/ (control, rules, changelog, copyright, copyright.debcargo.hint, debcargo.toml, source/format, tests/control, upstream/metadata, watch).
• All upstream files are MIT: LICENSE is the MIT text Copyright (c) 2024 Alessandro Crugnola, Cargo.toml[.orig] state license = "MIT"; no Rust source carries a different header. debian/copyright's Files: * (© 2025 Alessandro Crugnola) matches with minor year drift only.
• debian/copyright is machine-readable (Format: copyright-format/1.0), has no Files-Excluded, and includes the full MIT text inline; nothing else in the tree needs reproducing.
• Prescan dfsg-author-check: Scanned 13 files ... every holder found is named in debian/copyright (only Alessandro Crugnola appears anywhere in upstream files).
• No DFSG problems: no non-free wording, no minified/compiled/bytecode files, no fonts/images/sounds of unclear provenance, no vendored third-party source (Cargo.lock is only registry name/version/checksum metadata; its crates are not bundled).
• Policy version (referenced via policy tool): 4.7.4.1; Standards-Version: 4.7.4 first-two-components current, not an issue.
• Build/repo deps resolve via apt-cache: dh-cargo 34 (>= 33~ in tests/control satisfied), libstd-rust-dev 1.97.1+dfsg1-1, cargo/rustc:native exist; librust-time-0.3+default-dev provided by librust-time-dev 0.3.55-1 (>= 0.3.41 satisfied), librust-chrono-0.4+default-dev by librust-chrono-dev 0.4.45-1 (>= 0.4.40 satisfied).
• dh --buildsystem cargo with override_dh_auto_test: dh_auto_test -- test --all; debhelper tool confirms compat 13 skips the override when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS includes nocheck, matching the <!nocheck> marks on Build-Depends-Arch.
• autopkgtest via cargo-auto-test runs default, --features chrono, --no-default-features and --all-features; the Architecture: !riscv64 restrictions on two tests are standard debcargo output.
• Changelog (0.0.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium with one debcargo entry; source format 3.0 (quilt); only binary is librust-humanize-duration-dev (Architecture: any, Multi-Arch: same, Provides for every feature/version prefix, collapse_features set in debcargo.toml); Vcs-Git/Vcs-Browser point at the rust-team debcargo-conf repo.
• uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.0.7, packaged 0.0.7).
