Package: linuxbrew-wrapper Version: 20170516-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Though the linuxbrew-wrapper package is free just as Linuxbrew is, Linuxbrew does not commit to only free software. Linuxbrew's OpenCV formula builds with -DOPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON, and FFmpeg builds with --enable-nonfree. Though a comment in ffmpeg.rb notes that the flag produces unredistributable binaries, no notice is given to the user. Users that commit to only using free software may install this package and believe that it is free because it is in main. Though the package is free, and Linuxbrew is free, the purpose of Linuxbrew and this wrapper package is to install software from outside of the Debian repository (some of which is non-free). I believe that this violates Debian Policy that packages in main "must not require or recommend a package outside of main for compilation or execution." Because this package is a wrapper that will "invoke upstream install script if found no linuxbrew instance" upon installation, I believe package is not suited for main and is probably better suited for contrib. The Debian Policy Manual says that packages that would be included in contrib include "wrapper packages or other sorts of free accessories for non-free programs." Linuxbrew is a wrapper for installing (with or without building from source) programs that, though many of them are free, some are not. - -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linuxbrew-wrapper depends on: ii build-essential 12.4 ii curl 7.58.0-2 ii git 1:2.15.1-3 ii python-setuptools 38.2.4-2 ii ruby 1:2.3.3 linuxbrew-wrapper recommends no packages. linuxbrew-wrapper suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFGBAEBCgAwFiEEJwCMxdBfG24Y2trvfWFEpid5MHIFAlpx4wESHGpzY290dEBw b3N0ZW8ubmV0AAoJEH1hRKYneTBy+e0H/iaJPxn/cQZVjjthqo674US+CXSTfw/+ shS/OmKzvUKfkFF0g0sKyhHmZTPTJtu6fAjYtSjMVLBwJud/nwhv5j5RJ/C/vZKl zV7JdkL/swOCP/vU5zDWcHpemhyi+JRpujeAIfeghBrASSSj3O1Y8a9N+gsqovCK HE0/qj63Yg1Qk3o5jlcBmf3MrVAjSCTUYofvpnShYwhqpUGAW1VTCAh/CRrvbOpZ ssjJsDrTJCqExPLTOINx9tTNk+CCNXQv1xGmmzi9TDB+SUJgkc9IeF4m/IEKzkqE AkQFIes3WCFOm81cgKd5tWHpbUtXL6YCf/X1tzmJqUWYCGChtXaS7Rs= =QV9z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
