Hi

I'm currently packaging tuxcmd and tuxcmd-modules for Debian. For having tuxcmd-modules in main I had/have to remove the non-DFSG compatible parts, that is unrar/unrar/*

As a request: Could it be possible to split up the provided tuxcmd-modules source into a free and "non-free" upstream source? I'm refering to this thread on debian-mentors: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2008/12/msg00237.html

In Debian there is a unrar (non-free) and unrar-free Version. Would it be possible to use the latter even it can't handle archives in the RAR 3.0 format?

tuxcmd itself is in the NEW queue in Debian but tuxcmd-modules is due to the above not yet ready and finished for upload.

Kind regards
Salvatore
