Bug#502959: general: raff.debian.org uses non-free software



Package: general
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG

raff.debian.org uses a Compaq Smart 5i RAID card. A flash memory is used
to store the firmware. While the firmware is freely downloadable (as in
beer) on HP website [1], we don't have the corresponding source code.

I suggest that someone works with HP to get the corresponding source
code. Until we found a solution, I recommend we simply shutdown the
machine.
