DEP-11 metadata for non-free-firmware?

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hallo Matthias,

I'm contacting you since you're apparently responsible for
appstream.debian.org (hosted on mekeel), where dak syncs dep11 stuff
from. I'm seeing no dep11 directory for non-free-firmware in the
archive at the moment, yet [1] suggests that this new archive area is
seen just fine.

1. https://appstream.debian.org/sid/non-free-firmware/index.html

At the moment, we have 3 packages there, with no appstream metadata at
all. Questions:

- Would that explain that no files are generated on mekeel, and
therefore nothing is synced into the archive?
- Or should we have empty indices produced on mekeel anyway, which
should then get synced by dak?

If the former, there's probably nothing to fix (and things should go
better once things like src:firmware-nonfree is moved); if the latter,
I should dive a little more into dak to figure out what's happening
there.

At the moment, having no dep11 indices for non-free-firmware breaks
debian-cd builds against unstable (which is how I'm testing support
for non-free-firmware in various components of the installer plus
debian-cd).

Thanks for your help!


Cheers,

Sorry for the noise. I missed there were several rsync calls on the
dak side, and at least dak needs patching
