DFSG NEW review for rust-rstest-reuse version 0.7.0+ds-1

Summary

  • Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: Yes
  • Packaging is of good quality: Yes
  • Issues: 0 blocker, 0 important, 1 minor
  • debian/watch: version 5
  • debian/copyright: machine-readable

Licensing

Every file in the tree is licensed MIT/Expat or Apache-2.0 (the crate's license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0" in Cargo.toml.orig), both DFSG-free and mutually compatible, with no non-free clauses anywhere. debian/copyright is DEP-5, with a Files: * catch-all covering all upstream files and a debian/* override for the packaging, full Expat text reproduced and Apache-2.0 pointed at /usr/share/common-licenses. Files-Excluded: tests/acceptance.rs matches the +ds repack (that file is indeed absent) and debian/debcargo.toml. No missing holder or missing licence text was found.

Packaging

Standard debcargo-generated packaging: 3.0 (quilt), debhelper-compat 13 with dh-sequence-cargo and --buildsystem cargo, DEP-3 patch, autopkgtest, Vcs-*/Homepage/upstream metadata, Standards-Version 4.7.4 (current is 4.7.4.1). Build- and test-dependencies were each confirmed to exist in the archive. Only a small changelog inaccuracy was found.

Issues

minor packaging 1. Stale 0.6.0 bullet inside the 0.7.0+ds-1 changelog entry of a new source package ◂
  • Files: debian/changelog:5-6
  • Evidence: [ Reinhard Tartler ] / * Package rstest_reuse 0.6.0 from crates.io using debcargo 2.6.0 appear inside the single rust-rstest-reuse (0.7.0+ds-1) entry, together with * Package rstest_reuse 0.7.0 from crates.io using debcargo 2.8.4.
  • Problem: rust-rstest-reuse is a new source package (librust-rstest-reuse-dev is not in the archive), so the first and only changelog entry should describe the 0.7.0 upload. Documenting a 0.6.0 packaging, attributed to a different uploader, inside the 0.7.0+ds-1 entry misrepresents the package's history; no 0.6.0 upload of this source package exists.
  • Fix: Remove the [ Reinhard Tartler ] block from this entry, or, if a 0.6.0 upload really happened, record it as its own rust-rstest-reuse (0.6.0-...) changelog entry.
Verified ◂
  • Read debian/copyright in full: DEP-5, Format line correct, Files: * and debian/* stanzas, Files-Excluded: tests/acceptance.rs, and stand-alone License: Expat/License: Apache-2.0 paragraphs; Expat text complete, Apache-2.0 referenced to /usr/share/common-licenses.
  • Inventoried the whole upstream tree (glob with hidden and gitignore disabled): Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml.orig, README.md, checkoutlist.md, LICENSE-APACHE, LICENSE-MIT, .cargo_vcs_info.json, src/lib.rs, and 14 files under tests/resources/; no binaries, fonts, images or vendored third-party code.
  • Grepped the whole tree for Copyright/(C)/©/SPDX/Licensed under/GNU/Apache/MPL/public domain/All rights reserved: only the two LICENSE files and README.md carry licence notices, all MIT/Apache.
  • Confirmed tests/acceptance.rs is absent from the tree (excluded by the +ds repack, as declared in debian/copyright and debian/debcargo.toml); the excluded file is also the only user of the unpublished rstest_test path dev-dependency.
  • Read debian/control, rules, changelog, debcargo.toml, copyright.debcargo.hint, cargo-checksum.json, source/format, patches/series, the single patch, tests/control, upstream/metadata.
  • Verified via apt-cache that the Build-Depends and autopkgtest Depends exist: librust-rstest-0.26+default-dev (librust-rstest-dev 0.26.1-3), librust-temp-testdir-0.2+default-dev (0.2.3-2+b1), librust-lazy-static-1+default-dev (1.5.0-3), librust-syn-2+extra-traits-dev (2.0.119-2), dh-cargo (34, provides dh-sequence-cargo); librust-rstest-reuse-dev itself is the package under review, not yet in the archive.
  • Checked the patch is DEP-3 (Description/Origin/Forwarded/Last-Update) and that it only bumps the Cargo.toml rstest dev-dependency 0.19.0 to 0.26.1, consistent with the librust-rstest-0.26 test dependency.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.7.0, packaged 0.7.0+ds).
Not confirmed ◂
  • Could not build or run anything: whether the lib.rs doctests still pass against the bumped rstest 0.26.1 dev-dependency (upstream pinned 0.19.0) was not checked.
  • The upstream copyright years and the attribution 2024 Paul Gey <narpfel@gmx.de> in debian/copyright come from upstream git history, which is not present in the source package; only the years 2018-19 in LICENSE-APACHE/LICENSE-MIT could be seen, so the 2018-2024 range could not be confirmed from the tree.
  • Whether the shipped debian/copyright.debcargo.hint (still containing FIXME (overlay) / UNKNOWN-LICENSE) is acceptable debcargo-conf practice was not verified against the archive's other rust packages.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
