* Mark Johnson | I have similar questions for other packages I'd like to upload. The | arbortext catalog classes (and related extensions) that provide | catalog support for saxon and XT are an example. I could package | the base classes as "lib-arbortext-java", the saxon extensions as | "lib-saxcat-java" and make two more packages "xt-catalog" and | "saxon-catalog" that provide wrapper scripts. Would such a | combination be appropriate?
I'd say that having this solution is quite ok. Adding suggests or recommends to lib-{arbortext,saxcat}-java might be appropriate as well. | 2. Package building: Is it necessary to recompile upstream jar files? | | I hope not. :-) Shouldn't be, but you can if you want to. | 3. Dependencies: The java-common policy states | | "Both [libraries and programs] must depend on | java-virtual-machine." | | But many current java packages do not have this | dependency. Suggestions? file bugs? -- Tollef Fog Heen You Can't Win
