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. If you are maintainer of a non-free-package falling into this category (i.e. after careful review of the license that it can be autobuild), please: - send a signed email to nonfree@release.debian.NET describing which package and why the license is ok; - describe the fact that the package is autobuildable in debian/copyright, and to contact nonfree@release.debian.net before changing that; - include the header "XS-Autobuild: yes" in the source section of your debian/control file. You don't need to do an extra upload of your package for the changes indicated above, but we might drop packages not fullfilling these conditions one day. The inclusion on the autobuild list can only be requested by the maintainer of the package - we are not adding a package to be autobuild by requests of anyone except the maintainer. If you as maintainer are not yet a DD, please contact us also directly - we might however ask back with your sponsor. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/
