• announce packages moving to the non-free-firmware area?

    From FC Stegerman@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 29 23:30:01 2023
    Hi!

    I was aware that non-free firmware packages would be moving to the new non-free-firmware archive area [1] and that people are working hard to
    update the webpages as well [2].

    But I don't recall seeing any announcement (for users of unstable)
    that existing packages (see attached list) have begun moving there
    already; I had to add the non-free-firmware component to my sid
    entries in /etc/apt/sources.list to continue getting updates for these packages.

    I'm not a DD, so I can't (and shouldn't) post to d-d-announce@ myself,
    but I think some kind of announcement (and perhaps a NEWS entry, if
    there's a suitable package for that) would be appreciated by users not following this change closely, especially those unaware that
    sources.list needs to be changed.

    Thanks for all the hard work on the bookworm release!
