1. Done. I used an alternative vendoring style (as done in other GNOME Rust packages) where the vendoring is in debian/missing-sources and therefore creates a large .debian.tar.xz instead of a separate orig- rust-vendor.tar.xz . My opinion is that this makes it easier if we ever need to update one or more of the vendored dependencies. Otherwise, you'd either have to bump the upstream version number (which we shouldn't do) or use debian/patches.
2. I have now marked the dmabuf autopkgtest as not flaky. Although we could mark every test as not flaky except for gst+gl, this would be a bit messier diff to maintain. Every time there is a new upstream release, the version numbers in debian/tests/control are updated which means we would have to rebase this diff. The others tests are marked as flaky because of a bug/unimplemented feature in the Debian Rust team's packaging scripts that generate debian/tests/control. I reported that bug as https://bugs.debian.org/1107750 . Another way to fix this would be to fix the gst+gl test and then nothing would be marked as flaky so I reported https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins- rs/-/issues/698 3. 4. 6. Done. 5. This bug is mentioned in the override_dh_auto_install rule. It is a known bug in the Debian Rust team's packaging scripts. I don't think we need to take any other action here. https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-gst-plugin-gtk4/tree/debian/rules 7. I fixed several Lintian warnings. See my next comment for unfixed warnings. 8. I didn't do any action here. I believe the "wayland" feature is deprecated warning is because rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 offers a deprecated (renamed) wayland feature and the Debian Rust packaging builds every feature separately to test that they work and can be used separately. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1107750 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1107750 ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/issues #698 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/issues/698 ** Changed in: rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jeremy Bícha (jbicha) => (unassigned) ** Description changed: [Availability] The package rust-gst-plugin-gtk4 is already in Ubuntu universe.
