The other way around: sources in main are allowed to produce packages in contrib. That's why even if 90% of binaries are in contrib, the source still has to be in main. It obviously needs to be entirely free software, but contrib allows requiring a non-free compiler to build. Virtualbox ships a BIOS that requires Watcom to compile from real sources, precompiled copy they ship as well is free but is not the preferred form for modification. -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
