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:
Check whether it is legally allowed and technically possible to auto-build the package;
Add
XS-Autobuild: yes
into the header part ofdebian/control
;Send an email to
non-free@buildd.debian.org
and explain why the package can legitimately and technically be auto-built.
