ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter
Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises
of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright
and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the
Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source
code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full
details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any
program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more
than the foregoing paragraphs do.
.
The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU
Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is
freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts
(config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support
script, install-sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also freely
distributable.
.
It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is
covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence
arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or
more licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has
been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding
provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it
is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So far
as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining
code.
.
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF
files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading
support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been
simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not
use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual,
but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.
.

DFSG Assistant LLM REVIEW 1 blocker, 2 important, 3 minor
This is an LLM based review using a Debian Inference based workflow. It was not written by a member of the DFSG team and has not been checked by one. It is not a decision on the package: it may be wrong, and it may have missed things.

DFSG NEW review for siskin version 0.22.5-1
Summary
- Licensing is DFSG-compliant and
debian/copyrightis accurate: No - Packaging is of good quality: No
- Issues: 1 blocker, 2 important, 3 minor
- debian/watch: absent
- debian/copyright: machine-readable
- Scan before the review: 2 found
Licensing
The licences in the tree are free: upstream ships the Apache-2.0 text as LICENSE and the only files with their own notices (tree/rebol/Siskin/prebol.reb, siskin.rc, test/macos.nest) are Apache-2.0 or carry no licence terms of their own, and every licence text debian/copyright quotes (IJG, LZMA, Expat, BSD, BSL, Zlib) is DFSG-free. debian/copyright does not, however, describe the package accurately: tree/rebol/Siskin/prebol.reb names Carl Sassenrath and Holger Kruse as authors and carries a Rights: clause, while the only stanza that matches it says Copyright: Oldes, License: Apache-2.0; and about forty stanzas describe a rebol/ tree that this source package does not contain (the Rebol sources are copied from rebol-src at build time).
Packaging
The packaging is small and otherwise sound: dh with compat 13, only a binary and a man page installed, no maintainer scripts, current Standards-Version 4.7.4.1, correct ${shlibs:Depends}/${misc:Depends}, and a build that is patched not to fetch from the network. It cannot be uploaded as it stands because Architecture: any is combined with a build that only knows how to make amd64, i386, armhf and arm64 binaries, so it will FTBFS on every other release architecture; the quilt patch has no DEP-3 header and a misleading name, and there is no autopkgtest.
Issues
1. [blocker] [licensing] Files: * gives prebol.reb only Oldes/Apache-2.0, but the file names Carl Sassenrath and Holger Kruse as authors and states a Rights: clause
- Files:
tree/rebol/Siskin/prebol.reb:8,22-25,debian/copyright:6-8 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
Author: ["Carl Sassenrath" "Holger Kruse" "Oldes"]andRights: {Users are allowed to modify this source, but must keep this header intact. Changes to the official version must be approved by REBOL Technologies www.REBOL.com. ...}versusFiles: */Copyright: Oldes/License: Apache-2.0. - Problem: No stanza in
debian/copyrightmentions this file: the catch-allFiles: *is the only one that matches it, and it names a single holder and no rights statement. Two authors credited by the file itself are absent, and itsRights:clause (approval by REBOL Technologies is required for changes to the official version) is not recorded anywhere, so a reader cannot tell whether the Apache-2.0 claim in the stanza actually covers this file. Policy 12.5 and copyright-format require the copyright and licence of each file to be stated accurately. - Fix: Add a
Files: tree/rebol/Siskin/prebol.rebstanza naming Carl Sassenrath, Holger Kruse and Oldes, quoting theRights:field, and say explicitly that the file is Apache-2.0 as relicensed in Rebol3 (upstream's LICENSE) rather than relying onFiles: *; if theRights:clause is meant to govern, its DFSG status has to be settled with upstream first.
2. [important] [licensing] ~40 Files: rebol/... stanzas describe a tree that is not in the source package
- Files:
debian/copyright:10-290,debian/rules:31-33 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
Files: rebol/*,Files: rebol/src/core/mbedtls/*,Files: rebol/src/core/u-jpg.c… while the top level holds onlytree/,test/,assets/,siskin.r3,LICENSE,README.md,.github/,debian/;debian/rulescopies the Rebol sources in at build time withcp -a /usr/share/rebol-src tree/rebol/Rebol. - Problem: DEP-5 patterns are anchored at the top of the tree, so every one of these stanzas matches no file in the package; the file therefore documents another package's source tree. The licences they quote (Expat, BSD-2/3, IJG, LZMA, dtoa, …) are evidently there for the Rebol code compiled into the produced binary, but as written the file says nothing about where that code lives and misleads anyone checking licence coverage;
debian/copyrightis meant to describe the files of this package (Policy 12.5, copyright-format 5.2). - Fix: Keep the licence paragraphs (they cover code from
rebol-srcthat ends up in the binary) but say so — e.g. aComment:in the relevant stanzas — and remove the file patterns, which name paths that do not exist here; or write one stanza for the whole built binary and referencerebol's copyright.
3. [important] [packaging] Architecture: any but only amd64, i386, armhf and arm64 have a matching build egg — FTBFS on the other release architectures
- Files:
debian/control,debian/rules:7-15,33,tree/rebol/siskin.nest:97-121,tree/rebol/Siskin/siskin.reb:1183-1191 - Basis: inferred from what was read, not seen directly
- Evidence:

override_dh_auto_testthen fails to executetree/rebol/Siskin/build/siskin-linux-<arch>. Since the package isArchitecture: anythe build daemons will try all of them, and each failure keeps the package out of testing. - Fix: Either restrict the field to the architectures the nest can actually build, e.g.
Architecture: amd64 i386 armhf arm64, or add an armel→armv6 mapping plus eggs for the remaining architectures upstream supports.
4. [minor] [packaging] The quilt patch has no DEP-3 header, and its name claims sources that are not bundled
- Files:
debian/patches/0001-use-bundled-rebol-sources.patch:1-9,debian/patches/series:1 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence: The patch starts with
Index: siskin/tree/rebol/siskin.nest/--- siskin.orig/...and has noDescription:,Origin:orForwarded:field; its only hunk deletesgithub: @Rebolfromtree/rebol/siskin.nest. - Problem: Nothing in the package says why the line is removed (it stops the builder cloning Rebol from GitHub, which would be a network fetch at build time), and
bundled rebol sourcesis the opposite of what the patch does —debian/rulescopies/usr/share/rebol-srcintotree/rebol/Rebol. A sponsor cannot tell the patch's purpose or whether it should be forwarded. - Fix: Add a DEP-3 header with a
Description:explaining that it makes the builder use the localRebol/tree instead of cloning from GitHub, plusForwarded: not-needed(or an upstream reference), and rename the patch to match.
5. [minor] [packaging] No autopkgtest, though the built binary is trivially testable
- Files:
debian/ - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
debian/holds notests/control; the only test is the build-timetree/rebol/Siskin/build/siskin-linux-$(ARCH) -Vindebian/rules. - Problem: A new package with a command-line binary and no autopkgtest gets no post-build check in testing;
siskin -Vwould exercise the installed binary. - Fix: Add
debian/tests/controlwith aTests: smokestanza anddebian/tests/smokerunningsiskin -V(and perhapssiskin --liston a nest from the examples).
6. [minor] [packaging] There is no debian/watch
- Files:
debian/watch - Basis: found by the review tooling's own checks
- Problem: Without a watch file new upstream releases are not noticed by uscan, the tracker or the maintainer's tools.
- Fix: Add a
debian/watchin version 5 format, or, if upstream has no usable release channel, one holding a comment that says so.

Not confirmed
- Whether the
rebol-srcbinary package installs the Rebol sources at/usr/share/rebol-src, whichdebian/rulescopies from; the package is in NEW and not installed on the reviewing system, so the path could not be checked. - Whether Debian bug #1034057, closed by the changelog entry, is about siskin rather than about rebol; there is no access to the BTS here.
- Whether the build itself succeeds on amd64 (the only architecture the uploader can have tried); nothing in the package suggests it does not, but it was not run.
Proposed changes
None.
Uploader's response to the LLM review
Answering a few points:
- [important] [licensing] ~40
Files: rebol/...stanzas describe a tree that is not in the source package
Yes, it's coming from the rebol-src binary package built by the rebol source package.
[important] [packaging]
Architecture: anybut only amd64, i386, armhf and arm64 have a matching build egg — FTBFS
on the other release architectures
Not a problem per se.
[minor] [packaging] The quilt patch [...] name claims sources that are not bundled
There's probably a minor mistake on this: the patch indeed avoids using the bundled rebol source, and rather take the source from the rebol-src binary package.
