Hello,
This is a question about the debian installation mechanism.
Linaro is all about Open Source, but must be able to manage closed source binaries from member companies. Typically h/w packs.
Some legal depts. requires a conscious action as proof of acceptance of the license. This produces various technical problems in automation, e.g. update management or creation of images because the software scripts that updates or create images are not conscious :)
The Snowball s/w design team decided to use the debian mechanism for license acceptance of h/w-pack binaries, so there are pop-ups when you run Linaro-Media-Create.
Here's the problem:
When Validation creates new images all the time, the conscious action "click through" must be replaced by the conscious action "I am the maintainer of this Validation farm, I hereby accept the license once and for all and from now on l-m-c will not pop up the licenses in any of *these* packages that are automatically installed in my lab".
How can this be done *technically*?
Doesn't automated installation of Ubuntu systems containing non-free packages encounter the same problem?
BR, Tony
