- # How to Blacklist a package (adapted from [1]Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre Wiki)
- if you find a package that contains, uses or recommends nonfree
- software, it should be added to blacklist.txt until a way to free it
- is found. more generally, any package in violation to the [2]FSDG
- belongs in blacklist.txt
- other packages should be added to your-privacy-blacklist.txt,
- your-freedom_emu-blacklist.txt or both if they endanger privacy or
- only exist for the sake of using nonfree software; respectively. see
- [3] and [4] for more info.
- ## Preferred method (blacklisting the package)
- * if you don't have [5]git access:
- * ask for it, or
- * send a patch produced using `git format-patch` to dev@lists.parabola.nu
- * if you do:
- 1. if possible, start by making a [6]replacement available for all
- the affected architectures (packages in
- your-freedom_emu-blacklist.txt are not meant to have a
- replacement), or [7]report a bug if the package could be
- changed to be free (read next section)
- 2. pull [8]blacklist.git
- 3. add package according to the SYNTAX file
- 4. push changes
- 5. ssh into repo.parabola.nu and run db-check-nonfree
- 6. pull [9]abslibre.git and make a new release of the
- corresponding blacklist package (e.g. your-freedom)
- ## Alternative method (reporting an issue)
- * file a bug report on the [3]Parabola Issue Tracker
- * choose the project responsible for it, nearly always "Packages"
- * choose the "Freedom issue" type and priority
- * report separate issues for appropriate projects if the package is
- included with installation media.
