Bug#602838: Add instructions how to mark a non-free package as auto-buildable
Package: developers-reference
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This should be a section below "5.10 Porting and being ported":
Marking non-free packages as auto-buildable
-------------------------------------------
By default packages from non-free are not built by the autobuilder
network (mostly because the license of the packages could disapprove).
To enable a package to be build you need to perform the following
steps:
- Check whether it's legally allowed and technically possible
to auto-build the package
- Add "XS-Autobuild: yes" into the header part of debian/control
- Send an email to nonfree@release.debian.net and explain why the
package can legitimately and technically be auto-built
Cheers,
Moritz
