DFSG NEW review for rust-nostr-database version 0.45.2-1

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

The whole tree is MIT-licensed, and debian/copyright is DEP-5 with the full MIT text. Its Files: stanzas match the notices: LICENSE carries 'Yuki Kishimoto' and 'Nostr Dev Kit Developers' (covered by Files: *), and the three source files carry 'Rust Nostr Developers', which has its own stanza naming them. No non-free terms, no vendored third-party code, no file without a licence.

Packaging

Standard debcargo-generated packaging: compat 13 with dh-sequence-cargo, correct Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Arch split with <!nocheck>, matching binary Depends and Provides, Breaks on the crate's MSRV, autopkgtests for all three feature sets, and Standards-Version 4.7.4 against Policy 4.7.4.1. No patches needed; 3.0 (quilt) with no debian/patches is fine.

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • Read the whole upstream tree (LICENSE, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml.orig, Cargo.lock, .gitignore, .cargo_vcs_info.json, src/error.rs, src/lib.rs, src/prelude.rs) and every file of debian/ except .pc/ and debian/cargo-checksum.json.
  • The pre-scan's author check listed no missing holder: it scanned 10 files and found the only holders in the tree (Yuki Kishimoto, Nostr Dev Kit Developers, and Rust Nostr Developers in the three src headers) all named in debian/copyright; nothing else in the tree carries a copyright notice.
  • LICENSE is verbatim MIT ('Permission is hereby granted, free of charge...') with 'Copyright (c) 2022-2023 Yuki Kishimoto' and 'Copyright (c) 2023-present Nostr Dev Kit Developers'; the MIT text in debian/copyright matches it, and Files: * names both holders (year range 2023-2026 for the current holder covers 'present').
  • src/error.rs:1-2, src/lib.rs:1-2 and src/prelude.rs:1-2 each say 'Copyright (c) 2022-2023 Yuki Kishimoto' and 'Copyright (c) 2023-2025 Rust Nostr Developers' and 'Distributed under the MIT software license'; the dedicated debian/copyright stanza names those three files and that holder, and overrides Files: * for them.
  • No third-party code is embedded: the only dependencies in Cargo.toml are the external crates nostr 0.45 (features std) and opaquerr 0.2 (features alloc), so the single Files: * MIT stanza is complete; the LICENSE file is not a separate licence needing its own stanza.
  • debian/copyright is in DEP-5 format with the current Format URL, so no replacement file is needed; there are no Files-Excluded fields and no files removed from the tarball.
  • Packaging: debhelper-compat (= 13) with 'dh $@ --buildsystem cargo' and dh-sequence-cargo; Build-Depends-Arch carries cargo/rustc/libstd-rust-dev and the librust-*-dev dependencies with <!nocheck>, which is consistent with dh-cargo's lib-only build step (it only copies sources, no cargo invocation) and with dh skipping dh_auto_test under nocheck at compat 13.
  • debian/control's dependency versions match Cargo.toml (librust-nostr-0.45+std-dev for nostr 0.45 with std, librust-opaquerr-0.2+alloc-dev and +default-dev for opaquerr 0.2 with alloc and default features); librust-opaquerr-dev 0.2.0-1 in the archive provides the opaquerr -0.2+alloc and -0.2+default feature packages (apt-cache).
  • Breaks: rustc (<< 1.85.0~) matches Cargo.toml rust-version = "1.85.0" and edition = "2024"; Standards-Version 4.7.4 is current against the reviewing system's Policy 4.7.4.1.
  • debian/rules' override_dh_auto_test ('dh_auto_test -- test --all') matches dh-cargo's test step (cargo test) and needs no nocheck check at compat 13; debian/tests/control runs cargo-auto-test for --all-features, default and --no-default-features with dh-cargo (>= 33~) and rustc (>= 1.85.0).
  • debian/changelog: version 0.45.2-1, distribution unstable, well-formed date (Wed, 11 Nov 2026); debian/source/format 3.0 (quilt) with no debian/patches, so nothing to review for DEP-3 headers.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.45.2, packaged 0.45.2).
Not confirmed ◂
  • librust-nostr-0.45-dev and the feature package librust-nostr-0.45+std-dev (Build-Depends-Arch and binary Depends) are in neither the package lists nor the NEW-queue snapshot of 2026-11-11 that apt-cache consults; they presumably come from a sibling rust-nostr 0.45 upload not yet visible, and the lists can be days old, so this does not establish a fault.
  • debian/cargo-checksum.json and .pc/ were excluded from the review as instructed.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
