sources for main & non-free
I maintain a package of www-sql, which is a web interface for mySQL.
It's GPL but mySQL is non-free, so it's in the contrib. The author has
indicated that he might add postgreSQL support soon, which would
mean a main package could be created. However I would probably like
to keep the mySQL one as well (since I am using it myself and
could probably not justify the time/effort to switch, since
mySQL is free for our use.)
In the case of a source package producing both main & contrib
binary packages, where do the sources go? I assume that it is
acceptable for a main package (in source form) to include support
for a non-free package, since PHP does it. (PHP has mySQL support
but it isn't enabled in the binary package.)
thanks,
Hamish
