Hi,
as all of you should know, packages in non-free are not build by the normal
autobuilders for legal reasons. However, if a non-free package exist on
different architectures, it need to be current to allow testing migration.
On the other hand, there are plenty of packages in non-free that can easily
be autobuild, because their license is "free-with-tiny-exceptions". For such
packages, a group of Developers headed by Martin (zobel) and me provides some
autobuilding infrastructure on most architectures.
Excellent! A systematic way of requesting this is welcome. A related
issue is for the autobuilding of packages in contrib which need
non-free packages. On some architectures, the buildds don't seem to
include the non-free repositories and thus these packages won't build.
Would it be possible to either consistently include the non-free
repository on the regular buildd network or move the contrib building to
this non-free buildd system?
Cheers,
Carlo
