Debian set to start vote on including non-free packages in install media
The Debian GNU/Linux Project is set to start voting on a general resolution which outlines a way to solve the issues it faces in providing proprietary firmware on its install media.
The issue was initially raised by former DPL leader Steve McIntyre in April and discussions about a solution have been continuing on the project's mailing lists.
McIntyre told iTWire that he had given a talk on the subject during the annual conference in July and had started the GR process in August.
As with every such resolution, there are a number of solutions proposed, in this case five.
