Hi! What's the status with these bugs? There are 5 reported violations of the DFSG, from 65 to 53 days old. William, you're the current maintainer of the Debian packaged version of Linux (well, technicaly not yet, but I'm told you're dessignated for that task). These bugs should be your main priority for what Linux packaging is concerned. Which progress have you made? When do you expect to have this fixed? Bear in mind that violating the DFSG is a release-critical bug, whereas disabling upstream drivers is not. And AFAIK disabling tainted drivers is a trivial task, but splitting the binary-only blobs into non-free isn't. Therefore if the latter requires long-term work, the former has to take priority. So the question is, does it require long-term work? -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T., Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
