Comment:
 Lamco Development LLC is the sole copyright holder of lamexfat's own code, as
 the upstream LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE state. Greg Lamberson is listed in
 the Cargo.toml authors field as the person who wrote it. That field records
 authorship and isn't a copyright claim.

DFSG NEW review for rust-lamexfat version 0.1.0-1

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

All code is under DFSG-free terms: Lamco's own code is dual-licensed MIT OR Apache-2.0, and the four modules adapted from exfat-slim are Apache-2.0. debian/copyright is machine-readable (DEP-5, Format header correct) and matches the evidence: the Files: * stanza covers the MIT OR Apache-2.0 files, an override stanza covers the four Apache-2.0 vendored modules, and the full MIT text is reproduced while Apache-2.0 points at /usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0.

Packaging

Standard debcargo output. control/rules/changelog/source-format are correct, the autopkgtests use cargo-auto-test with satisfiable dev-dependencies (ruzstd 0.8 and sha2 0.10 are both in the archive), and Standards-Version 4.7.4 is current (Policy 4.7.4.1). No maintainer scripts, patches, or binary blobs to worry about.

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • The scan's author check found no missing holder: 'every holder found is named in debian/copyright'. Greg Lamberson appears only in the Cargo authors field and the debian/copyright Comment correctly explains that this is authorship, not a copyright claim.
  • All 12 files under src/ carry per-file SPDX headers: block_read.rs, error.rs, exfat.rs, file.rs, lib.rs, name.rs, path.rs, resolve.rs are 'MIT OR Apache-2.0'; upcase.rs, fat.rs, dir.rs, vbr.rs are 'Apache-2.0', exactly matching the debian/copyright override stanza for those four files (adapted from exfat-slim @2ffd2c2).
  • LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT are the full upstream license texts; the MIT text is reproduced verbatim in debian/copyright and Apache-2.0 correctly points to /usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0.
  • The whole upstream tree was read (21 files): 9 top-level files plus 12 src files; no built/binary files, no minified code, no third-party vendored crates beyond the four adapted exfat-slim modules.
  • The dev-dependencies named in debian/tests/control exist: librust-ruzstd-dev 0.8.3-2 provides librust-ruzstd-0.8+default-dev, and librust-sha2-0.10-dev 0.10.9-2 provides librust-sha2-0.10+default-dev (apt-cache).
  • uscan found upstream releases with debian/watch; a newer upstream version is available (upstream 0.1.2, packaged 0.1.0), which is not a fault of the package.
  • Every pointer of debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (Apache-2.0).
Not confirmed ◂

None.

Proposed changes ◂

None.
