Package: java-common
Version: 0.22
Severity: normal
Hello,
after a short discussion on the java-debian list, I think that something
along the following lines should be added to the Java Policy, most
probably in "Chapter 4. Advices to Java packagers":
- Java libraries should be compiled with the Java compiler having the least
possible version (i.e. 1.3 instead of 1.4 instead of 1.5):
- supported by java-package for non-free compilers,
- as far as compilation succeeds of course,
- this is especially relevant for packages in contrib, compiled with
non-free tools (free tools _are_ in Debian and define the version
to compile with, hence incompatibilities are less of an issue).
Feel free to correct my English, my wording, my presentation, but
please keep the idea... ;-)
Eric
