hm? I'm not sure if I did understand you right - are you saying that Debians non-free suite has no autobuilders (which is not true), or that the upstream packages have no build-systems attached to their sources? Or, are they even all provided as binary-only? Unrelated to that - non-free is not a problem in Debian, but undistributable it is. That means, even if a package qualifies for non-free, it's better to keep it in the non-free suite on debian.org than on any other unofficial/secondary repository. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
