Hi Steffen and Andreas, let's imagine the following: - I start from a full local copy of the EMBOSS sources. - I build the emboss package and test it with the non-free test data. - Pleased that the regression tests give a green light, I upload a ‘free’ emboss Debian package that do not include the regression tests. How can I pretend that the uploaded package is more free, if I have used the non-free tests before uploading ? How could I decline running the full regression tests before redistributing EMBOSS to our users ? Also, I have not yet investigated the part about Gene Ontology that was mentionned by Peter Rice. Removing all the extract of non-free databases may be difficult. I do not see much of a burden to have the package in non-free. For instance, seaview was moved to non-free after it incorporated a small part of Phylip, and nobody complained about this. Perhaps we could have a med-non-free meta package in non-free ? Have a nice week-end, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
