DFSG NEW review for rust-reedline version 0.52.1-1

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 crate is licensed MIT throughout. debian/copyright is machine-readable (DEP-5), names the correct holders and licence, and includes the full MIT text. No non-free terms, no missing licences, no vendored third-party code, and no built/binary files were found.

Packaging

Standard debcargo-generated Rust library package. debhelper-compat 13 with dh --buildsystem cargo, Standards-Version 4.7.4 (current), complete Depends/Provides covering all optional feature dependencies, DEP-3-headed patches with clear purpose, per-feature autopkgtests, and a sane changelog and Vcs-* fields.

Issues

None.

Verified

  • Read every file under debian/ (control, rules, changelog, copyright, source/format, patches + series, tests/control, upstream/metadata, debcargo.toml) in full.
  • Read LICENSE and Cargo.toml (and Cargo.toml.orig) in full: LICENSE carries 'Copyright (c) 2021 Nushell Project' under the MIT license; Cargo.toml declares authors 'The Nushell Project Developers' and license MIT.
  • Grepped the whole source tree (src/, examples/, .github/, docs) for copyright and licence wording: the only notice is the one in LICENSE; no per-file headers, SPDX tags, or third-party licence text exist. No vendored/embedded crates or third-party code found.
  • The source tree contains only .rs/.md/.toml/.yml/.json text files plus Cargo.lock (a lockfile generated from Cargo.toml); no minified JS/CSS, binaries, archives, bytecode or built artifacts.
  • The pre-scan's author check found no copyright holder missing from debian/copyright (its result: 'every holder found is named in debian/copyright').
  • The license holder wording '2021-2026 The Nushell Project Developers' vs the LICENSE file's '2021 Nushell Project' is only minor year/naming drift against the Cargo.toml author entity, not a missing holder or wrong entity.
  • The debian/copyright.debcargo.hint still contains a FIXME ('UNKNOWN-YEARS', 'UNKNOWN-LICENSE') stanza for LICENSE, but the actual debian/copyright correctly resolved both: only the 'Files: ' MIT stanza and a debian/ MIT stanza remain, with the MIT text included.
  • Standards-Version 4.7.4 has the same first two components as the installed Policy 4.7.4.1, so it is current (checked via the policy tool).
  • The Depends field lists all three optional feature dependencies (arboard, rusqlite, serde-json) alongside the unconditional ones; they are correctly absent from Build-Depends-Arch because the crate's default feature set is empty and dh-cargo builds only the default features.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.52.1, packaged 0.52.1).

Not confirmed

None.

Proposed changes

None.
