DFSG NEW review for rust-qmetaobject version 0.2.10-1

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 machine-readable (Format: 1.0 URL) and accurately describes every file. The whole crate is MIT: Cargo.toml declares license = "MIT", and every .rs/.hpp file with a header carries a 2018 Olivier Goffart (woboq.com) MIT notice; the two qtcore files (core_application.rs, mod.rs) additionally credit ivan tkachenko (ratijas), matching their dedicated stanza. The catch-all Files: * (2018-2026 Olivier Goffart, MIT) covers the handful of header-less files (log.rs, future.rs, tablemodel.rs, webengine.rs, qtquickcontrols2.rs) which are all Goffart's crate code with no other holder. The full MIT text is reproduced in-line, which is required since MIT is not in /usr/share/common-licenses. The debian/* stanza is correct. No vendored code, no non-free terms, no built/minified/binary/font files anywhere in the tree; all files are preferred-form source. The pre-scan author check reported every holder found is named in debian/copyright.

Packaging

Clean debcargo-generated Rust packaging. control uses debhelper-compat (= 13) with dh $@ --buildsystem cargo, the right Build-Depends-Arch split (cargo/rustc + <!nocheck> dev libs), Architecture any, Multi-Arch same, full Provides set, and salsa Vcs fields. Tests are intentionally deferred to autopkgtests via an empty override_dh_auto_test (comment explains the build-static-library error avoided), and comprehensive autopkgtests (one Test-Command per feature) run under xvfb-run with the qt6/qmake6 deps. Patches carry proper DEP-3-style From/Date/Subject/Forwarded headers and are either upstream-backports or packaging-specific. Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches current Policy 4.7.4.1. Changelog in experimental is standard for a NEW crate. No policy violations or upgrade risks found.

Issues

None.

Verified

  • Full tree inventoried (source + debian); no .pc/ used.
  • Cargo.toml and Cargo.toml.orig both declare license = "MIT".
  • Every source file with a header: build.rs, qmetaobject_rust.hpp, src/{connections,itemmodel,lib,listmodel,qmetatype,qrc,qtdeclarative,scenegraph}.rs, src/qtcore/{core_application,mod}.rs, tests/{common/mod,models,tests}.rs carry the identical 2018 Olivier Goffart MIT notice; qtcore files also credit ratijas 2021, matching the specific debian/copyright stanza.
  • Header-less files log.rs, future.rs, tablemodel.rs, webengine.rs, qtquickcontrols2.rs are all part of the single-author crate and covered by the Files: * MIT stanza.
  • Full MIT licence text included in debian/copyright; MIT is not in /usr/share/common-licenses, so in-line text is required and correct.
  • Prescan: author check reported 'every holder found is named in debian/copyright'; no other scan flags to reconcile.
  • Standards-Version 4.7.4 equals current Policy 4.7.4.1 (checked via policy tool).
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.2.10, packaged 0.2.10).

Not confirmed

None.

Proposed changes

None.
