One option would be to add it to "tainted", but have it require a dummy metapackage from "non-free" repository, so that it can be only installed if non-free media is enabled. It might cause too much confusion, though, as the error message wouldn't be very clear. > The PLF 'non-free' repo contains quite a few packages [1], I would think we > will want to add most of them to Mageia too, so this will continue to be a > problem. Most (if not all) of those either a) do not have patent issues and are thus eligible for mga/mdv non-free repositories (mdv didn't have a non-free section until 5 years ago, explaining why they are in plf), or b) are completely unredistributable, and thus uneligible for any mga/mdv repository. > [1] > http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/plf/mandriva/cooker/non-fre > e/binary/i586/ -- Anssi Hannula
Re: [Mageia-dev] Repository question: where do we put non-free+tainted RPMs?
Personally I also think 'tainted' would be the better choice than 'non-free' since potential patent issues are a more serious concern than a non-FOSS license, but tbh I think both choices are far from ideal, I believe the only really clean solution would be to create a 'tainted+non-free' repo just like PLF has. The PLF 'non-free' repo contains quite a few packages [1], I would think we will want to add most of them to Mageia too, so this will continue to be a problem.

[Mageia-dev] Repository question: where do we put non-free+tainted RPMs?
During the review with my mentor Anssi of one of the packages I'm working on, the question came up what the appropriate repository for a package is that's both non-free (open source but not a FOSS license) and tainted (contains sw. that is covered by patents in some parts of the world). Should a non-free+tainted package go in tainted, i.e. is the tainted repo for all tainted packages, both free and non-free or should it go into non-free, i.e. non-free is for both unencumbered and tainted packages or do we need a separate tainted+non-free repository just like plf has? -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/

Fedora does offer mock for that, and that's quite handy. It already works pretty well out of the box. To install it, as root: urpmi iurt Then, as user, do: iurt --repository http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/ --rebuild cauldron x86_64 foo.src.rpm This will build (or rebuild) the base chroot automatically if needed.
