Source: nbdkit
Version: 1.40.4-1
Tags: patch
nbdkit used to include the VDDK plugin, until it was removed in
version 1.16.1-2. I would like to request that it be packaged once
again, since the plugin itself is licensed as BSD-3-clause. I recently
encountered a case where I would have liked to use the VDDK plugin, but
wasn't able to natively use the Debian packaging and had to rebuild it
myself. There's also a bug downstream in Ubuntu asking for the VDDK
plugin to be packaged[1].
I've attached a patch with the packaging changes needed to
reintroduce a bin:nbdkit-plugin-vddk package.
As bin:nbdkit-plugin-vddk depends on a proprietary VMware library to
be useful, it should be placed into the "contrib" section of the
archive as described in Policy Section 2.2.
Thanks,
Mathias
