Ciao, Salvatore: I wasn't aware of the Wheezy freeze in progress. The 0.3.0 version I've uploaded to Mentors is my current running script, that I've been testing and modifying since my last upload in 2009, Beside the obvious need to address the RCs, the changes it contains are required since otherwise: - unaware users wouldn't be able to:find the package to download due to dead links; - an old deprecated license agreement would be accompanying the package instead of a current valid one; - old and unavailable methods to get a compatible JDK would be tried and failed; These seem not so important for users that are already using the package, and know what the changes Oracle introduced in the last two years, but for new users it would be stressing and an incentive to not using it, supposing it is flawed (and in it's current state it is). Beside the above changes all others are related to addressing lintian and QA warnings or errors and compliance to standards, not in the script itself. The large difference between this version and the previous is due to the peculiar fact that the script is also a generator of a "debianized" package, so in order to the generated package to be standard compliant and error free the script has to be edited and the above mentioned changes (mainly the license, which is about a third of the size of the script), placed inside it. I hope I explained my idea, if you feel it's not applicable, please let me know so we can try to find a way to do it right.
