Hello,
I was asking around in IRC about moving firmware packages to
non-free-firmware, and was refered to Cyril Brulebois' message from
two days ago¹ — Seems the wheels are finally turning to populate it!
¹ https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2023/01/msg00150.html
As of right now, we have only one package in that suite, and it's
somewhat hard to debug from there ;-) But I think it's time to bring
the fact that non-free-firmware has to be enabled in several of our
webpages to collective attention.
A couple of months ago I opened #1021728 to have the new suite enabled
in tracker.debian.org. Raphael Hertzog moved some bits and asked some
questions (which I left unanswered :-( Sorry!). But now, checking
onwards from there, I find packages.debian.org, buildd.debian.org and
qa.debian.org still don't recognize it:
https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/raspi-firmware
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=raspi-firmware
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-raspi-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org
In IRC, Holger also mentioned:
- wiki.debian.org has no pages with the term `non-free-firmware' in
them
- www.debian.org (plus its translations) mentions them, but only for
the vote (english/vote/2022/vote_003.wml) and following announcement
(english/News/2022/20221217.wml)
- tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian does not yet include it
- Neither debian-policy nor developers-reference know about it
- piuparts in unstable now supports it (although piuparts.debian.org
is not yet testing it)
So... I'm going to try to push some of those bits, but wanted this to
be in the collective eyes as well :-] Please document other omissions,
or help fix them!
Greetings,
-Gunnar
