Package: ant
Severity: wishlist
Version: 1.7.0-6
User: [email protected]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu karmic
ant currently has:
Depends: java-gcj-compat-dev | java-virtual-machine, java-gcj-compat |
java1-runtime | java2-runtime, libxerces2-java
However, ant doesn't *require* a JDK to run. It is used increasingly in
server packages to run tasks that don't involve compilation, and having
this hard dependency on "java-gcj-compat-dev | java-virtual-machine"
pulls a complete JDK (with related X libraries) in a server install.
The suggestion would be to depend on a headless runtime, and make
default-jdk a "Suggests" instead:
Depends: default-jre-headless | java1-runtime-headless |
java2-runtime-headless, libxerces2-java
Recommends: ant-optional, ant-gcj
Suggests: default-jdk | java-compiler | java-sdk, ant-doc
This is what is currently used in Ubuntu karmic.
Cheers,
