News item?

2000-08-12 Thread peter karlsson
Shouldn't the Debian 2.2 dedication notice be reflected somewhere on
the web as well, either as a news item or in the releases/potato
section (or both)?

Bug#69023: www.debian.org: What is "free hardware"? (in distrib/packages.wml)

2000-08-12 Thread Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona
Package: www.debian.org
Version: 2812
Severity: normal

In The CVS file webwml/english/distrib/packages.wml you can read,
when describing the "contrib" area:

"Packages in this area are free themselves but depend on other
software or hardware that is not free"

I wonder what is free hardware in this context... I'm not completely sure,
but I guess this is a bug. Otherwise, some comment on what is considered
"free hardware" should be provided.

-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.2
Kernel Version: Linux cacharro 2.2.15 #1 Sat Jun 10 22:13:06 CEST 2000 i586

I can't speak for the author of the website, but maybe it relates
to hardware for which one needs software which is not free.

Like hardware with closed specifications or somethng.
