Debian Begins A General Resolution To Decide What To Do With Non-Free Firmware Written by Michael Larabel in Debian on 27 August 2022 at 12:24 PM EDT. Debian has begun a general resolution process to solicit a vote by its stakeholders what to do with non-free firmware. Debian currently doesn't load non-free firmware by default on its systems, even when it means no working hardware support/acceleration without those binary elements. Not loading the non-free firmware can also mean missing out on security updates or for addressing usability issues. Earlier this year was a discussion about Debian changing its closed-source firmware stance and now it's moving forward into the general resolution process. Until the start of September is the discussion period ahead of the general resolution vote for solidifying Debian's new stance on non-free firmware. The options being considered are: Option A - Include non-free firmware packages on the official installation media. The firmware binaries would be normally enabled by default where needed for hardware support but explore ways to let users disable the support at boot if desired. The Debian installer or live system would have a means of informing the user about what firmware is loaded whether it be free or non-free. This would replace Debian's current install media that does not include the non-free firmware packages. Option B - Include non-free firmware onto the official media along similar lines to Option A. However, the difference is this option would not replace the current Debian media sets. These Debian images would be separate, complementary images to the current install media that does not include non-free firmware. Option C - Making install media that contains packages from the non-free firmware section of the Debian archive and make it available for download alongside the free (purely free software) media in a way that the user is informed before downloading the media about the free option. See the Debian general resolution page for the proposed options in full. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Non-Free-Firmware-GR ========================================================= 選項A: 官方安裝映像檔包含non-free firmware 且不再提供不含non-free firmware的安裝映像檔。選項B: 官方安裝映像檔包含non-free firmware 同時也提供不含non-free firmware的安裝映像檔。選項C: 看不太懂跟B的差別，求翻譯。愈來愈多硬體需要non-free firmware才能正常運作，Debian團隊也不得不妥協了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 220.133.92.232 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Linux/M.1661632749.A.487.html

https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003 https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2022/08/msg00001.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2022/08/msg00046.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2022/08/msg00106.html 謝謝樓上兩位我看ABC的原文分別是這樣寫的 A有特別提到只會塞non-free firmware進安裝映像檔 B是從A改來的，所以AB兩個選項在這部份的主張一樣但C感覺好像只要是non-free的package都能塞進安裝映像檔而不僅限於non-free firmware? 不過不管怎樣 Debian安裝映像檔總算是即將變得比較友善不會在安裝過程因為缺少firmware而卡關也不用再去用那個含有non-free firmware但卻被官方宣稱"非官方"的安裝映像檔
