Hi, I think there was consensus to introduce the non-free-firmware section and move the non-free firmware blobs there. I'm wondering what we need to do next?
Besides the ftp team setting the new section up, I expect the installer would need changes to enable it instead of non-free when non-free firmware is required; maybe it still needs to ask for non-free as well for other reasons? Other teams might also need to add the new section, e.g. the release team, packages.d.o, ... I expect the list to be hard-coded in quite a few places. Then the release notes need to document that "non-free-firmware" might have to be added to sources.list. Finally we need to identify the packages that should move there. I guess all non-free packages named "firmware-*" would be a good match. Ansgar
