Hi all,

this d-d-a message, as well as the fact that buildd.net lists different
names for the non-free buildds, and the fact that buildd.d.o does not
display the name of the buildds nor the logs for the autobuilt non-free
packages, strongly suggest that "building non-free on official
autobuilders is not allowed" is not "Untrue".

Friends, it is not the first time that threads start on such
misunderstandings, and I think that we could dramatically raise the
level of lists like as -devel by taking more time between reading an
email and answering to it.

(And since this thread is supposed to be questions for the DPL
candidates, I will add one: some time ago, a DD was sending emails on
-devel whenever the discussion was offtopic, to ask for it to be
transferred or stopped: what do you think of this initiative ?).

Have a nice day,
