Comment:
 These files are copied from libtree-sitter-dev as part of generating the upstream
 project (via "tree-sitter generate") so it's possible to build standalone.

Final Comment

1. Placeholder Text in debian/copyright

The file contains TODO_YEARS placeholders that must be replaced with actual copyright years:

Files: *
Copyright:
 TODO_YEARS Ika <ikatyang@gmail.com>
 TODO_YEARS Amaan Qureshi <amaanq12@gmail.com>

Evidence from LICENSE file:

Copyright (c) 2024 tree-sitter-grammars contributors
Copyright (c) 2019-2021 Ika

Required Fix: Replace the TODO_YEARS placeholders with the appropriate years (e.g., 2019-2021 for Ika and 2024 for the tree-sitter-grammars contributors).


2. Missing Copyright Holder

The LICENSE file lists "tree-sitter-grammars contributors" as a copyright holder:

Copyright (c) 2024 tree-sitter-grammars contributors

However, debian/copyright does not include this entry for the Files: * stanza.

Required Fix: Add "2024 tree-sitter-grammars contributors" to the copyright holders for Files: *.


Required Fixes

3. Missing Coverage for schema/*/src/tree_sitter/ Files

The following files in the schema/ subdirectories are copies of the same tree-sitter runtime header files that are documented for src/tree_sitter/:

  • schema/json/src/tree_sitter/alloc.h
  • schema/json/src/tree_sitter/array.h
  • schema/json/src/tree_sitter/parser.h
  • schema/core/src/tree_sitter/alloc.h
  • schema/core/src/tree_sitter/array.h
  • schema/core/src/tree_sitter/parser.h
  • schema/legacy/src/tree_sitter/alloc.h
  • schema/legacy/src/tree_sitter/array.h
  • schema/legacy/src/tree_sitter/parser.h

These files should be covered by the same stanza (Max Brunsfeld, MIT license) as src/tree_sitter/*.h.

Required Fix: Update the Files: stanza to include these paths, for example:

Files:
 src/tree_sitter/alloc.h
 src/tree_sitter/array.h
 src/tree_sitter/parser.h
 schema/*/src/tree_sitter/alloc.h
 schema/*/src/tree_sitter/array.h
 schema/*/src/tree_sitter/parser.h
