5.10.5. Marking non-free packages as auto-buildable

By default packages from the non-free section are not built by the autobuilder network (mostly because the license of the packages could disapprove). To enable a package to be built, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Check whether it is legally allowed and technically possible to auto-build the package;

  2. Add XS-Autobuild: yes into the header part of debian/control;

  3. Send an email to non-free@buildd.debian.org and explain why the package can legitimately and technically be auto-built.
