Uh, because this website doesn't move me to the newly created issue, when I wanted to edit my issue I accidentally created a new one, mistaking the remaining issue creation page as an edition page… it's now a duplicate of https://tracker.pureos.net/T1004.

gitlab would be nice too but likely fine grained (e.g. calls -> calls channel, phosh/phoc/squeekboard -> phosh channel) - we had a bug for that somewhere in gitlab iirc, the above is about the pureos tracker only.

jeremiah.foster added a comment to T991: [multiple issues] Feedback on "potential freedom issues in PureOS".

I think "blobs" is tricky terminology which might confuse - it confuses me. I prefer talking about 'firmware'. Firmware is stored in Read Only Memory (ROM) as a binary. It usually cannot be changed and it just meant to make the hardware work at all. The FSF says "Firmware that is installed during use is software; firmware that is delivered inside the device and can't be changed is software by nature, but we can treat it as if it were a circuit." This makes firmware closer, or even the same as, hardware. And while all hardware should have free designs, like Purism's, we don't have to reject non-free hardware the way we have to reject non-free software according to the FSF.

I've been informed that it is at least *theoretically* possible to point snapd to a only free "store" https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/external-repositories/1760/7
This might help us not have to remove snapd and then patch and maintain all the software that depends on snap and snapd.

my understanding was that when pushing a signed tag in the packaging repos (those which are pointed to from deb-build-jobs (?)) that the build server would automagically start the build.
