Bug#395400: java-package: please Provides: jar for the sdk packages
Jon Dowland wrote: Any reason you can't just depend on fastjar? That's what I am doing, right now. But, if a user has another jar implementation installed, it's not ideal to force them to install fastjar rather than use their preferred one. You said it was a build-dep. There is nothing wrong with forcing a user to install fastjar in order to build the package. Normal users don't build packages anyway. Please close this bug, and don't introduce an unnecessary virtual package.

I rather disagree: it's a disservice to our user's to force them to do anything, if it isn't necessary. Please close this bug, and don't introduce an unnecessary virtual package. I'm not sure who this is aimed at, but I won't close it until I've heard some reasons why the virtual package would be a bad thing. -- Jon Dowland signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers

Bug#395400: java-package: please Provides: jar for the sdk packages
Package: java-package
Version: 0.28
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
I have a program which requires an implementation of jar at
build-time. The Build-Depends line is non-trivial because nobody
specifies a jar virtual package.
Please adjust the sdk packages to Provides: jar.
Patch attached.
Disclaimer: I'm very sorry but I haven't actually *tried* this patch. I
