Re: non-free Packages as build-dependency of contrib / non-free ones autobuilding
Andreas Barth a...@not.so.argh.org writes:
Hi,
currently our policy says that main packages must only (build-)depend
on main packages, but contrib and non-free packages could use packages
from contrib and non-free.
In practice build-dependencies from non-free are not used by the
buildds for two reasons:
1. (mostly historical) we need to make sure that the packages are not
installed anymore while building packages from main - this can be
ensured via the lvm-snapshot type chroots however
2. we don't know (on an automated basis) which packages in non-free
can be used as build-dependency without violating copyright. For the
source packages we use the marker Autobuild: yes, but that won't do
for binary packages where we only want to have some packages
considered by apt/aptitude.
Some obvious solutions come to my mind:
1. Split non-free into non-free-but-useable, i.e. packages that can
be autobuilt, and can be used as a build-dependency (and where main +
contrib + non-free is self-contained, like main today already is), and
silly-non-free (the remaining packages).
2. Make a sub-disttree from non-free of the acceptable packages, and
put it somewhere only on ftp-master or a few hosts only (that's enough
for installing build-dependencies on buildds already)
Other ideas? Opinions?
Add Autobuild: yes to binary packages so the flag ends up in Packages
and then filter non-free for packages with the flag set. This can be
done in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ with
Apt::Update::Post-Invoke { filter.sh }
where filter.sh goes through /var/lib/apt/lists/*non-free*Packages and
removes anything without Autobuild: yes.
Would it be save to carry the Autobuild: yes flag from the source
stanza into binary packages? That would involve a small change in dpkg
and then the next compile of each package would fix the debs for
autobuilding.

Estadistical proyect.
My name is Angel Bravo, I'm a student at the University of Granada, (Spain) in his final year of a masters degree in Statistics. In order to finish my degree I am supposed to do a major work in statistics. In case Debian is interested in having someone work on a statistical project of any nature (the project would be supervised by professors of the Statistics and Operations Research department of the University of Granada and and Debian would not be charged with any costs whatsoever), please feel free to contact me. Yours sincerely, Angel Bravo. Mi nombre es Ángel Bravo, soy un alumno de la UGR (Universidad de Granada, España) que cursa el último año de la diplomatura de Estadística y siendo de obligado cumplimiento la realización de un proyecto estadístico de cierta envergadura, me dirijo a ustedes para la realización de cualquier proyecto estadístico que necesiten, sea de la naturaleza que sea (todo ello, sin gasto alguno y con la supervisión y asesoramiento de los profesores titulados del departamento de Estadística e Investigación operativa de la Universidad de Granada). Si están interesados, ruego se pongan en contacto conmigo y así poder concretar y comenzar con ello cuanto antes, atentamente un saludo. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
