1034659 is not a cleanup request (neither automated nor manual), though.
My question to anyone who can help - can this package get accepted into the NonFree project and removed from the blacklist?
It will clearly not be accepted into openSUSE-Factory, as binaries w/o source code are against our packaging guidelines: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines#Legal
NonFree is exempt from a lot of rules. See opera browser, it has no source uploaded. The wiki just makes it very clear that no one should spend and squander their time with NonFree software because of the stony path. Really there just two options: - Either get a package successfully to openSUSE:Factory:NonFree (at which point you may edit the wiki to reflects its exempted status), - or remove all copies of the problematic files (i.e. the imported .run or .rpm files or whatever the case may be -- that's why X11:Drivers:Video/nv* is without source but the recipe is staying)
